Colors Can Be Hostile or Friendly to Your Well Being

Colors are everywhere; they have the power to change your mind, your thought process. Color itself is a language, which can speak louder than words. Colors justify the personality and can have an astonishing effect on your emotions. Colors can bring a balance to your life.

Since colors can play so much with life states of an individual, it simply suggests to never undervalue the significance of colors. This gives us a very strong reason to understand colors and Vaastu shastra and Fengshui are the oldest guides to understand the role of colors in our every day life.

Vaastu Shastra is the traditional Indian system of architecture and FengShui is the Chinese philosophical system, both have a focus on the human’s well-being and harmonizing life with elements of nature. They both are ancient and sacred arts showing the connection between human and his residence. Vaastu is based on science while Fengshui is based on balancing the energies of geographical and customary concern. These both mention some guidelines related to colors for creating healthy and beautiful ambience in our homes and offices.

So, to bring some balance to our stressful lifestyles we can follow some color tips and see their positive effect on our lives.

·         Colors at your home can affect your mind

·         You spend a huge amount of time in a day in your home. Every room has specific purpose for use, similarly every color has a purpose and effect on your mood and thought process. Even if your home is not constructed according to the vastushastra or fengshui, coloring your rooms using vaastu and fengshui tips will help.

1.      Perfect balance of colors for bedroom: One of the best suitable colors for a bedroom is brown and its shades.You can see that mainly bedroom is used for sleeping, relaxation and physical pleasures. Hence, blue color is most suitable for relaxation and a pink shade symbolizes love, which are majorly masculine and feminine respectively. So give a blend of these colors with stability of brown color to create a balance between you and your better half.

2.      Colors can also affect your kid’s health: Avoid using dark blue and more of red colors in kid’s bedrooms they may lead to health issues and temperament issues respectively. For kids bedroom you can choose light green and light yellow shades of colors which will help them in concentrating in their studies.

3.      Create energetic ambience of your living room:Living room is the place where you entertain your guests and relatives; also your family spends time together. Keeping this in mind you should choose the colors which are welcoming and composed. Colors suitable for your living room are yellow, green, blue, beige and tan shades. You can use more of white color in your living room, but only white will not give a lively feel, so use tinges of some other light colors with white shades.
Apart from living rooms, light yellow color is apt for prayer or meditation areas in your home.

4.      Cooking food in kitchen can become more interesting:As kitchen is the place of ‘Fire’ element, a touch of red color must be present; it might be the dinner set of red shade or some red stripes here and there in kitchen. White, orange, yellow, rose pink, silver and light chocolate are the suitable colors to be used on kitchen walls and floor. You should avoid using much of dark colors in the kitchen but some of it will work.

5.      Have dinner with good vibes: Some people prefer having separate dining rooms rather than having it attached with the kitchen. Green, pink and blue colors are suitable for dining areas,these are somewhat similar to the kitchen shades. For separate dining rooms, you can color the walls different from the kitchen.

6.      Take a relaxing bath: Light colors are preferred for bathroom and toilets such as white, gray, mixture of white and black, shades of light blue, pink and lime green. Again, avoid using complete dark colors in bathroom and toilets. Recommended color as per vaastu for bathroom is white and blue shade walls or tiles.

7.      Welcome positivity from Entrance Area or Main Door: According to Vaastu and Fengshui, entrance area is the most important as every positive or negative energy enters your house from here. Depending upon the location of the door, the color may vary, but green color is a must to have in the entrance area. You can opt for any color which will look fine in the mishmash with green color, just keep in mind to have some green color in entrance or near main door. Good small green plants can also be the option which you can place near the main door or entrance.

8.      Create positive vibes in Garage, Staircase and Lobby area:White, cream, yellow and other light colors are suitable for garage, staircase and lobby area in the house as per the vastushastra. The use of dark colors might create a negative effect on children.

Here we can conclude that whatever colors you choose for your rooms, just avoid much darker color shades. Even if you have some preferred choice of dark color, use the above mentioned colors somewhere adding a bright shade to your room.

The use of above colors does not means that you end up painting your walls green, brown or blue or any other shade. The preferred color can be introduced in the room in a very subtle and graceful manner by the use of Custom Wallpaper and Wall Murals. If brown color is required in the master bedroom, why not opt for Vintage Wallpaper in earthen shades, which will add a timeless appeal to the bedroom. If bright colors are required in the kitchen and living room, Floral Wallpaper For Walls can be an ideal choice to serve the purpose.

Here are five brilliant ideas that you can apply in your interior décor to help you de-stress. After all my friend getting relaxed or de-stress is all about diverting your mind and thoughts from the activities that are causing stress.

So, here are five interior decor tips that will help you de-stress and enjoy a happy, peaceful life.

1. De-clutter, organize and add some art effects to create a serene environment
   Want to remove negativity or stressful vibes of your home? Spot the most undesirable places and clutter in your home such as filthy corners of bathroom or some unnoticed areas. De-clutter them and replace them with some greenery or artistic items. Interior of your home matters for peace and serenity. Placing some house plants and flowers can help in feeling fresh and oxygenated. You can place Aloe Vera, Golden Pothos (locally called as money plant), Snake plant or Bamboo palm in the corners and other suitable places of your home. They purify the air and help you breathe well and remain healthy. As the sun colors flowers, the art colors life; even the artful things like handmade pieces, sculptures, positive art paintings and other similar artifact will give you some alert and empowering your walls and makes you happy when you look at them. Messy, unorganized and cluttered space creates a lot of disturbance in the mind, even if you are not aware of it. Organizing your home and cleaning up your mess, helps to calm the mind and can be the first part of de-stressing your life.
   
2. By using subtle colors in your home. “Colors are the Smile of Nature.” To live a colorful life you can color your walls and get decor with light and bright colors. To bring true colors in real life, you need to bring home some amazing subtle color textures and patterns. Every color has its symbolism and effect on your mind; you just have to find out some astonishing colors which suit your personality and soothe your mind, body and soul. As simple is the color scheme, more stylish it looks. If you get to mix too many textures and patterns, it can get bit distracting. Incorporating calming pastel shades of beige, white, blue and green to your walls will visually help you de-stress and gets the soothing energy in your home.
   
3. Creating a sanctum in your bedroom Incomplete or restless sleep is one of the main reasons for the stress and anxiety in your life. Some people brag about their less hours sleep in offices, if you are one of them then don’t be proud of… There is nothing great about not being able to take a good sound sleep of seven to eight hours. It can be hard to keep your bedroom a perfect, peaceful sanctuary but it should be the place to feel relaxed after a busy day. Sticking to your right bedtime every night, it is necessary to have an inviting bed, soft pillows, comfortable mattress, light and warm blankets, and a calm color idea in your bedroom; it shouldn’t bring the extra anxiety when you get into your bedroom after a long day. There should be tranquility in your bedroom with a peaceful ambience. Even the fabrics used should be soft such as velvets and soft linens for giving you a calm touch.
   


4. Brightening your home with more lights Allow natural lights or sunlight to enter into your house removing all the dark spaces. Natural sunlight creates a good space of calm effect, also getting vitamin D to you. Sunlight is also beneficial to detoxify the atmosphere of your home.  When there is no scope of natural sunlight, you can use floor and table lamps. At night rather than using ceiling lights that cause mash up of light, these lamps create a calm low light without any harsh overhead lighting. It makes your home feel serene and creates a relaxing mood.
   
5. Devising a Hobby room/corner for relaxation. Are you able to exercise or devote time to some fun activity? If it’s a no, then you should definitely have a room or space in your house for some fun time or devote to your indoor hobbies. Whether it is reading, listening to music or some indoor game, just create a particular room or corner for it. Give some time to your hobby, leaving or shutting down your tech devices and gadgets. Here you can read your interests, play some fun games or spend time to listen some light soulful music which makes you feel refreshed. Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither stress nor suspicion. If not for any hobby, you can make a meditation room and spend some peaceful time either for religious or spiritual purpose for relaxation.
   

The interior design of home can be affected by the walls to a great extent, so the designers give advice to get some murals or wallpapers installed in your rooms to create a peaceful environment and creating a highlight area in your home.

5 Home Decor Ideas To Make Your Home Look Great

There are some basic rules one must follow to create the right impact with home decor. To be truthful there is no written rule guide which has to be followed step by step to create great interiors, designers do it with years of experience, understanding human behavior and with their own perception of what will look good and what will not work.

As far as what will work and what will not is concerned, nobody knows you and your home better than yourself. If you have time and patience you can achieve results as good as any interior decorator can. There are still some basic tips or design ideas you can keep in mind while working on your home interiors.

1.      Create space around your furniture. You must resist from overstuffing your room with all that you can lay your hands on. Give your furniture some breathing space, this not only creates space for movement but at the same time highlights the pieces that are placed. For Ex.: It is not necessary to create maximum seating space in a leaving room, get an estimate of an average gathering you have and plan accordingly.

The furniture in the picture is looking great because it is not competing for attention.

           

2.      Pick the color of the walls in the end. Well this is exactly opposite of what most of us do.  We normally decide and finish painting our walls even before we have bought a single piece of furniture. Have you gone through the paint shade card, which offers you an endless choice in the color you can have for your walls. Why didn’t it cross your mind that you could have bought furniture and artefacts you desired and the color of wall could have been easily matched.

3.      Know the trick to place your furniture on a rug. There are three ways you can place furniture and the rug. It depends on the size of your room, size of the rug and the volume of furniture.

It can be place with all legs on the rug.

Legs just touching the rug or

The front legs only on the rug.

Try all of this yourself and see how it changes the look of the room.

4.      Display artworks as they do in art galleries. Art galleries and museums hang artwork so that  the center is exactly at the level of the human eye, i.e.  57 inches to 60 inches from the floor level. This creates the right kind of impact with the artwork. This rule can vary with the ceiling height, but remember that the decor has to be admired by humans and the display should be human centric and not structure centric.

5.      Create a highlight area in the room. A strong focal point is very essential in a room decor.  The focal point can be a fine art painting in the living room, an art piece on the dining table or the table itself.

Don’t try to create multiple focal points. This will create more chaos and clutter. The easiest and most cost effective way to create focal point in a room is to use Custom Wallpaper and Custom Wall Murals. A custom Floral Wallpaper or a 3D Wallpaper For Walls can create truly stunning effects. These are easy to install, diy products.

Don’t Fall For Traditional Floral Wallpaper Trap?

While decorating our home interiors, we are always focused on getting the best outcome in terms of designs, creativity and comfort. All of us put in our best efforts to create an exclusive decor. After all no one wants to have his or her bedroom look exactly like the neighbors or resembling close friends room.

We all desire to create exclusivity and seek something different. Whether it is the color scheme, or the furniture or the fabric/upholstery used or the curtains. We want the home interiors to reflect our refined tastes and personality.

In this quest for something different and exclusive, we are normally exploring the market or the website which have already been visited by so many of our friends. In fact it is on their recommendations that we visit those places.

In case you and your friend are doing your home interiors at the same time, I can assure you that in most of the cases everything you purchase or the concept you freeze upon was also explored by your friend. Most of the time when people buy furniture or furnishings around same time, they often end up buying things similar to what others have bought. Reason being, every one is looking for latest designs/concepts, visiting the same places and if the financial budgets are similar the products also end up being of the same trend.

What I am trying to say is :Where is the element of exclusivity ? or the wow factor.

The same is the case when we are looking to buy Wallpaper For Home. Floral Wallpaper For Walls is one over sought for segment of wallpaper. When we are doing interiors of a complete house, we normally have one room or one wall where we love to use Floral Wallcovering.

We normally end up seeing numerous wallpaper catalogues from traditional wallpaper dealers dealing in fixed size rolls. Same patterns, embossing, classical or modern floral backgrounds with glitter gold or silver…… in short I call it a “Traditional Floral Wallpaper Trap”.

When we spend months on planning and refurbishing the interiors, why the wallpaper comes in our mind at the last minute or why is it that we don’t think beyond the same old patterns and designs.

Why not be more creative and impress all our close friends with our personal refined expression of art?

With Custom Wallpaper Printing today we have innumerable design options in Floral Wallpaper For Walls, we can choose from illustrative patterns to watercolor or oil canvas painting effects or we can choose to print a photograph we have shot on one of our visits to the famous gardens or nature reserves.

The fact is that Custom Floral Wallpaper looks far more impressive and creative than a traditional fixed size roll wallpaper. It has more natural beauty, more aesthetic value and more life to it.

With Custom Wallpaper and Custom Wall Murals we have greater freedom to express our fine tastes and preferences, so why fall for a traditional floral wallpaper trap. Explore the world of Custom Wallpaper For Walls and Custom Wall Murals, you are definitely going to be impressed by the innumerable Modern Wallpaper design options available.
