Using The Psychology Of Color In Your Home Remodel

We love color and integrate it into everything we create. We cannot imagine a world without color; what would it feel like? What might it be like to experience the world around you through the taste of color? What if you painted your surroundings according to the feelings evoked by the experience of taste?

Did you know that some people can taste colors? Synesthesia is a phenomenon that causes sensory crossovers, such as tasting colors or feeling sounds. Some people describe it as having “wires crossed” in their brain because it activates two or more senses when there is only reason for one sense to activate.

While we are talking about experiences and feelings, let’s discuss how colors can totally change the energy and impact of your home. At Ron Scott Design Build, when we speak of color, we mean energy waves.

What is Color Psychology?

Color psychology is all about how colors resonate with our heads and hearts. It is essential for designers because it is not just about making a space look good but also about making us feel a certain way. Colors carry an energetic frequency that stimulates an emotional response in us.

Warm Colors: A Hug for Your Eyes.

Think of reds, oranges, and yellows. These colors are like a shot of espresso for your eyes. Red is all about drama and energy. Orange is like a cozy blanket. And yellow? It’s your personal little sun, always bright and cheery. Perfect for places where you want to have fun and chat.

Cool Colors: Feel Like a Chill Pill.

If you want to cool down, blues, greens, and purples are your best buds. Blue is like that calm ocean, making you want to take a deep breath and relax. Green is like a walk in the park, and purple has that royal touch that makes everything feel a bit more special.

Neutral Colors: These Are the “Cool Kids.”

Whites, grays, and beiges are the chameleons of colors. They go with anything and everything, making them the perfect wingman for any other color. They are classic, never go out of style, and they let distinct colors shine.

Why Colors Matter in Your Home Design Build

Colors are energy, and they evoke energy vibrations of feelings inside of you. The colors you pick can change how you feel in a room. Want to kick back and relax? Go for cool colors. Need a boost? Warm colors have got your back. It’s all about creating the right energetic mood.

Make It Your Own: It’s all about what you like, how you want to feel, and what you want to experience in your space. Everyone has their own color vibe, so picking colors that make you happy is key.

In a nutshell, colors are like the secret sauce in design. They can make a place feel just right. Whether it is your home or office, picking the right interior or exterior colors can make all the difference. So go ahead, contact me and let’s play around with colors and see how they can work for you! 🌈✌️
