TYPE OF ROOMS
Living Room – Use amicable or neutral colors e.g. earth tone to
match other furnishings for stability and balance
Bedroom – Use natural design in comfortable colors to animate
the desired mood depending on the occupants’ age and relationship
Child’s
Room – For age below
7, use varied patterns and colors to invoke the child’s mental and emotional
development. For older children, more
composed patterns and brighter colors are appropriate. If children make their
own choice, it instills a sense of ownership and pride towards their rooms
Reading Room – Use natural design and neutral colors to minimize
the stress on your eyes
Powder Room – Experiment with bold design in stronger colors to
excite the senses and uplift your emotions
SIZE OF LIVING SPACE
Size is immaterial but choice is
crucial to optimize aesthetic effects. For smaller homes, avoid multiple colors
and advocate single color for spatial effect. Where appropriate, a lively or colorful
design can be used for feature wall alone. For larger homes, you may choose to play
with big and cool patterns for better outcome but be sensitive towards using
proper combination of colors
MOOD & CONCEPT
Urban Minimalist – Use plain patterns with subtle
textures in subdued colors (usually one or two colors in varying shades) to
exude simplicity in style. Always go simple and declutter to make space as space
is luxury. The effect of “the power of less” can be incredibly stunning.
Modern Contemporary – Be adventurous to use bold design
and solid colors for accent walls to reflect modern trend but complement it
with simple textured design preferably in single color for other walls to
create a tasteful piece of wall art. Earth, white or black tone is normally the
preferred choice as it can blend in easily with other interior décor. Apply the
law of order in modern living. Order is comforting and comfort is tranquility.
Modern Classic – Classic lovers may opt for floral
or motif designs with textured background. The choice of colors must coordinate
with other furnishings to achieve harmony of colors. When timeless classic matches
contemporary living, the preserved beauty of heritage and culture is accentuated.
Mood & Ambience – Select the right design and color palette to create the mood and ambiance in specific living spaces for your own indulgence e.g. soft design and
soothing colors for relaxation, bold design and vibrant colors for “WOW”
factor, subtle design and deeper colors for romantic aura... Don’t forget to
complement it with the proper lighting to enhance effects.
