The color scheme is able to change the emotional mood.
Let us examine the basic principles: warm and bright colors (red, orange, yellow) can bring objects closer, and cold gray, green, blue - visually move them away. The application of this principle will help push the walls apart or make too large a room chamberly cozy. There are additional features:
- white in large numbers creates the effect of a hospital ward, bright blotches are necessary;
- blue - promotes relaxation, helps relieve tension;
- yellow is indispensable in the rooms facing the north - gives warmth and comfort;

Is it possible to combine incompatible
Interest Ask. By and large, all modern styles meet the term eclecticism - mixing. While choosing a decoration it is important to make a decision with the whole family, taking into account the preferences of each, it is not necessary to combine diametrically different styles under the same roof.

For example: a hall - minimalism, a drawing room - baroque, a bedroom - east delicacy, a nursery - hi-tech. With the result of such confusion, internal dissonance arises. Moving from one room to another during the day, a person loses a sense of reality and peace.
Baroque sumptuousness in the living room
It is more rational to combine styles that are in harmony with each other: Country + Provence + Mediterranean; Minimalism + Japan; Greece + Empire. In this case, one of the styles will be strung on the other, like beads in a necklace.
