When it comes to designing spaces, colour is an important element of design to consider.
Consider the following four Scenerios:
1.
Making space appear bigger usually involves use light colours such as white because it gives a room a brighter, airier and larger feel. On the other hand, dark colours often “shrink” a room or give the illusion of a smaller space.
.
2.
To create a particular mood in end-users, it has been long established that colour can affect our mood, feelings, and emotions. The colour of a room plays a role in shaping the mood of those in it. Imagine walking into a public toilet that has all its walls painted black, will you consider using that toilet? 🤔🤔
Well, we thought same.

3.
As a designer, if you want to use colour as an accent or to zoom in on a particular place in the apartment, use a small amount of a particular colour to create a focal point there. Ideally, a bold, striking colour is used which, although different from other colours in the room, complements the key colours used in the overall colour scheme.

4.
A smooth and flawless wall is every designer’s dream, innit?
But in reality many projects, especially renovations, will require you hide existing flaws like uneven walls. You can technically use colours to redirect a viewer’s eye (attention) away from such flaws. 👌👌 In conclusion, colour can quickly become overwhelming if used inappropriately but when carefully used, it can lead to the creation of an amazing interior for your clients.
