Designing Rooms - Proportion
and Color
The
best way to describe a proportion is, size. Color affects a rooms visual
proportion. A general guide line is white or pale colors make objects
recede, while dark or bright colors draw things closer which causes them to
appear larger.
In
a home environment walls are generally painted a white or beige color. If you are planning to
stay over a long period of time you may want to ask your landlord if you can
paint under the condition you return it to the original color. Most
landlords agree to this because it assures them a fresh coat of paint upon your
departure. If not you can use other tricks to create your ideal environment.
Whether
you decide to paint or just furnish your apartment keep the eye fooling
properties of color and proportion under your belt. Lighter recedes,
Darker draws in. It works with every style and can be applied to fabric,
furniture or accessories!
