Paint the house with color that influences us

Chromotherapy teaches us how colors affect our emotions and how we can win harmony decorating each room with the right colors.

The colors affect us psychologically and physiologically. Have direct effects on our mood, but also on our body. That's basic right to choose the colors of our house, especially those that dominate the walls, as the surfaces are larger and therefore the most amount of color have. But it is important to be aware that a good use of color also relates to furniture, textiles and decorative accessories. Because the color effect of a stay is the color mix of all the elements that comprise it.

Chromotherapy

Mariano Bueno, color therapy specialist, says that "the perception of light and color was developed in relation to our environment. Its effects have their origin in the stimuli that were linked historically. For example, we associate red with danger because that is the color of blood, and opens the appetite because it is the color of the meat and ripe fruit. Instead, there are just as blue food, blue inhibits our appetite. The green meadow with blue sky background indicates that all is quiet, no storm and other grasses, so we can relax and enjoy. " But also there is another explanation for our ability to feel colors. "Today we know that we have photoreceptors in every sense of our skin, which perceive electromagnetic waves associated with light colors." And it has proven to be even able to vary our body temperature: a setting decorated with cool colors like blue, indigo, violet and green can lower our temperature and one with warm colors like red, orange or yellow, upload.

Common areas

The living room, as Fernando says Mainguyague of CIN "is the room that allows more color combinations." But it is best to use warm colors like earth tones, with touches of yellow paint, gray and even a touch of red. Warm colors that enhance sociability.
