3 Ways Color Can Inspire Emotion at Home
Color is one of the many layers that shape how a room feels and evokes emotion. When working with clients, we always ask how they want their home or space to feel. This is an essential question because we want to understand the emotion they want to convey before selecting colors, materials, and finishes. In exploring color and emotion, we are taking a journey through how color is artfully used in dining rooms to evoke emotion.
Crafting Comfortable & Cozy Spaces
If you want to create a cozy, comfortable feeling in a room, warm-toned neutrals and earth tones "feel" like you want to stay a while and sit back. Dining rooms are a great space to evoke this feeling of comfort, and colors like brown, which has come back in the last 2 years, exude warmth. The Constantia Collection exudes the perfect brown tones for a warm and welcoming dining space.
Infusing Energy and Emotion with Color
If you want to infuse energy into a home or room, more saturated colors in the finishes, colors, or materials (not all three) can evoke this feeling. I say not all three, as it is essential not to over-energize a space with color to make it too loud of a visual environment to enjoy being in it. Adding more saturated colors in dining rooms is perfect for families wanting to create a space to eat, laugh, and dine without being overly formal.
Transforming Spaces with Subtle, Serene Shades
Not everyone loves saturated colors or deeper-toned colors in their interior environments. If that is you, color in the home can be subtle, and lighter neutrals are a great way to create a backdrop in dining rooms that effortlessly flows from other neutral spaces in your home and creates calm.
As much as we need to know what colors our clients love, it is also very telling to know what colors they dislike. The journey we take our clients on helps us discover what will resonate best with them and create a little surprise and delight when we present their design, finishes, and materials. During our process, we show clients fabrics, materials, and colors to get their response before diving deep into their final design schemes. This helps create the roadmap to where we will go with color, knowing that we understand the emotions they want to invoke in their home.
