Psychologists can result not one example when people come to them with complaints, that they do not accept their own house, they feel in it uncomfortably . Happens, clients complain even of smart new repair made at participation of professional designers, but not bringing, unfortunately, desirable pleasure and satisfaction from stay of house. All matter is that few to make simply "beautifully", it is necessary to consider also that psychological influence which is born in themselves with basic components of design.
The interior of our house is a space surrounding us in which we spend a lot of time, we make important decisions, we search rest and answers to various vital questions, we plan on future. There we daily communicate with most people close to us - our family, we bring up and we develop children. Therefore it is very important to feel houses harmony, heat and a cosiness. It appears, even from an interior it is possible to receive most necessary things. Colors, lines, forms, structures - all this can become your assistant in arrangement of comfortable habitation, so, and a high-grade life.
The world in colour
Color - very powerful means of influence for mentality of person. Already for a long time it is known, that colors, since birth associates of each of us, render on an organism, nervous system and mentality of person big influence. Feature of color consists that it acts on us at a unconscious level. Therefore by means of various colors we can operate physical and psychological processes.
Red, orange, yellow
Colors of this spectrum are characterized as making active, raising. In psychology they are considered as colors , i.e. an impulse turned outside, aimed on interaction with world around. Therefore with such colors it is good to select subjects of an interior connected with dialogue, interaction between people. If you often feel slackness, apathy, there are no forces for vigorous activity, use red, yellow and orange for improvement of mood and increase of general tone. At someone in your family bad appetite? These colors will help to raise it - feed from yellow and orange utensils, put red napkins and trays.

It is considered, that it promotes work to internal secretion, development of adrenaline, influences a body temperature (raises), does muscles elastic, and joints mobile. Red color also promotes strengthening of various sensations of person. For example, making active along with visual and acoustical center of a brain, it causes a seeming increase in loudness of noise, sounds. Therefore red it is good to choose for registration of parties and holidays, for a room with a house cinema. Wish "to wake up" somewhat quicker in morning and to come to a tone? Then red - that is necessary for your bathroom. It will help you to make active all internal systems of an organism, will inspirit also to energy.
And here bedroom, certainly, not best place for red, in fact there to us would be desirable to relax, have a rest and more quickly to fall asleep. However there is one nuance which can seem interesting. Red color - a symbol of sexuality. It raises and causes passionate desire. Red can push to sexual rapproachement even if there is no true inclination. This small cunning can be exploited: we shall admit, to introduce in a bedroom red accessories (pillows, bed-clothes, lamps, pictures) or separate elements of a decor (a curtain, wall-papers). If in your house coldly red "spots" in an interior will help to warm it. red room really demands less heating and it seems more warmly in comparison with a premise of cold shades.

Secondly, majority of women spend a lot of time behind cooking (by way, not their most hobby). Here orange it will be useful to a raising of mood and a physical tone. On kitchen, for example, it is possible to make orange a tile or separate inserts in furniture, to lay an orange cloth, to put flowers.
Yellow color often associates with fun, entertainments and holidays. It well stimulates, invigorates and recovers, as a bright sunny day. Yellow promotes intellectual activity, concentration of attention, therefore it is good for using for educational activity, preparation for examinations. Yellow - best color for children's rooms: on one hand, it improves powers of thinking, strengthens thirst of knowledge, with another, its influence increases quantity red blood , accelerates growth and raises activity. But do not forget, that excessive use of these colors in an interior can cause strong irritation, aggression, in a plenty these colors tire and can lead to neurotic conditions. In such colors nervous system of person who has well had a rest, restored forces, feeling necessity in a concentrated activities, display of energy "is interested".

Pink color can be various shades. If it is bright, sated, warm color it should be carried to « to group red ». It as will draw attention, to make active various processes, to induce to action. And if it is softer, cold (color is closer to ñâåòëî-violet), it will concern to « dark blue group » so to calm, reduce activity. Pink causes feeling of comfort, relieves of notions of compulsion, helps with crisis. This color is good for maiden rooms - it makes impression of tenderness and cleanliness. Bright pink "strokes" (pillows, florets, napkins) will recover any interior and will cheer up.
Green. Various shades of this color calm, weaken, remove weariness. Green will neutralize action of other colors, helps to disseminate negative emotions, counterbalances and brings tranquility.

It is impossible to paint children's game spaces and sports premises in green color as it causes boredom, does not give bright impressions. But green - rather successful variant for closed and limited spaces since it does not create sensation of pressure and does not give strong emotional influence.
Brown. This color calms, supports during alarm, excitements, gives sensation of reliability as it is very close to natural nature (the ground, trees). Brown has good effect at a nervous exhaustion - it gives sensation of equal silence. But its big quantity does not please and even burdens. It is not capable to cause bright emotions.

They seldom cause any emotions (if, certainly, they are not used in lots: a lot of black depresses and upsets, causes fear, and an abundance white - sensation of emptiness and loneliness). excessive use of neutral colors can cause a melancholy and apathy and even to lead to depression. Therefore houses are better for combining these colors with bright warm shades always. It is not necessary to use white and black in those places where you are engaged in brainwork - they cause braking and reduce efficiency of cerebration.
Silver color calms nerves, reduces excitement, normalizes work æåëåç internal secretion, renders beneficial effect for work of kidneys.
