Liz’ Tips
January 19th to February 2nd, 2012
Decorating with red:
Have you ever walked into someone's home and instantly felt welcomed, wrapped in a Liz’ Tips subtle friendly warmth? This is the resonance of colour. The influence of colour is nowhere By: Liz Quinn of Design’in-Mind Maximum Impact with Minimal Investment more important than in your home.
Your home is your shelter, refuge, comfort. Your home provides nourishment for your psyche. It's where you commune with your family and friends. The right colours and colour combinations can stimulate and relax your senses, create happy memories.
and convey warmth.
Colour is a vital conveyer of ambience and the key to creating a mood in your home. Want to know what colour says about you and how to use colour in your home?
The ancient art of Feng Shui uses red as an energy-enhancer. Red is often recommended as a colour for front doors in order to invite prosperity and happiness into the house.
To begin to find your true decorating colours, start with photos in magazines and books. Begin to pay attention to colours that attract you and which you don't care for. You'll begin to discover that your feelings about colour are a deeply personal reflection of your personality.
Red—Some like it hot. If you're one of them, you may be attracted to the dynamic colour of red. Red is the colour of passion and excitement. Red is a hue that is not meant to be ignored. Red is associated with the colour of blood and conveys birth, vitality, activity and strength.
Clear reds like cherry, poppy, and lollipop, can be used in decorating to create a sense of youth, vitality and energy. The more elegant tones of blue-red like wine, claret and ruby suggest opulence, power and tradition.
Warm reds like tomato and vermilion are outgoing
Red has been shown to improve the sense of smell and spark the appetite. It can be a welcome accent in a kitchen or dining room. Traditionally, red has been a colour of magic and sorcery. In many cultures, the most important ceremonies, such as entrance into manhood and marriage, are performed in red clothes for good luck. The ancient Greek physicians used to urge men to eat red food and drink red liquid in order to become more sanguine: full-blooded, optimistic, cheerful, confident and passionate.
Brockville, Ontario
Because they are confident and assertive, they can also be domineering and fickle in the pursuit of new adventures. If you dislike red, the excitement and intensity of this colour could be too much for you at this point in your life. You may be uncomfortable with the aggressive nature of red. The serenity you crave is best found in calmer colours.
Red as an accent: Red can really glow in small areas like entry halls or passageways. Because of red's ability to attract the eye, it can be wonderful used as a background colour in niches, armoires, or the inside of cabinets. If red is your favourite colour, you are very self-confident. The wealthiest members of society and achievers or risk-takers tend to like red. People who love red are well-informed and involved, passionate, extroverted, exciting, impulsive, competitive, energetic, daring, optimistic. Red people dislike routine and crave new experiences.
Decorating with green: Decorating with green: Because we can identify so many different shades of green, the colour can be at home in virtually every room. In dens and libraries, a deep green provides a hushed and stable atmosphere. Green's association with prosperity and the colour of money will lend a prosperous air to living rooms and entryways. Blue-greens used in the bedroom can create a restful sanctuary, combining the peacefulness of both colours. A spa-like atmosphere can be given to bathrooms with the softer sage greens and blue-greens. Green is a widely-used and attractive colour for home exteriors because of its ability to blend with the natural world.
Want to know what colour says about you and how to use colour in your home?
Green harmonizes the passivity of blue with the vibrancy of yellow. It is considered the most restful colour to the eye, and of all the colours, green is the one in which the human eye distinguishes the widest range of shades.
If green is your favourite colour: You are stable, balanced, caring. Doing the right thing is extremely important to you and you are often a concerned citizen and highly active in the community. You are a caring companion, kind and generous. You are intelligent and attracted to new ideas. Unfortunately, lovers of green tend to be lovers of food, and you have a tendency to be overweight.
If you dislike green: You are unconventional and can be a loner. You have a need to be recognized that causes you to avoid joining groups and activities.
Need a green fix without painting a whole room? Here are some tips for your decorating needs:
If you want one big burst of green, choose a rug. It is usually less expensive than other sizable furnishings and can be easily moved from room to room when you’re looking to shake things up. Opt for a style with multiple shades of green so it will better coordinate with the rest of your stuff.
Bring on the accessories. Just a few well-chosen pieces will give you a green fix. And you can add and subtract items depending on how much green you want. Place a green runner on the console, set the table with olive-coloured dishes, and framed scraps of green-patterned wallpaper. Don’t forget the blossoms. Consider green (or greenish) flowers. Forsythia branches, which bloom yellow before sprouting bright green leaves, look great on the console. The Billy buttons, arranged in a light green vase on the table, can last up to two weeks. Also try Lenten roses, which have soft green flowers and foliage.
