Knowing the secret language of colors can change our lives, making us safer, happier.
They affect our emotions, conscious and unconscious, and contribute to creating pleasant or unpleasant sensations, depending on whether they are in harmony or in contrast.
It is armocromia, the science of colors, applied to homes, furnishings and walls.
And it helps to make us feel safe and at ease and perhaps even to make the house a perfect place to spend (also) moments of leisure.
A room in color harmony is, in fact, ideal for applying the Niksen relaxation technique.
It is the
Dutch "dolce far niente",
a way to switch off and relax your mind.
The care of spaces is fundamental to the practice, in order to create the ideal environment to enjoy the moment of calm at home.
A place to be yourself, read your favorite book, do yoga or meditation lulled by the chromatic harmony of our home.
The choice of colors to match in your home is neither obvious nor trivial.
The decision is often influenced by the tastes, mood and trends of the moment, but first of all there are some
fundamental rules to follow so that the house can be transformed into the temple of relaxation
that everyone deserves.
Here are the tips from ManoMano.it - the e-commerce specialist in home furnishings, DIY and gardening.
Starting point for each room:
avoid
to create a chromatically
mono-matched environment
up to boredom, better to focus on a dominant color by experimenting with combinations, to relax the mind and find a physical and emotional balance.
In short, to be in harmony with yourself.
Natural colors
satisfy the growing need for
fluid decoration
: more and more a single room assumes multiple purposes, relaxation, study, smart working station etc.
It is therefore necessary that the furniture and objects are easy to move and convey a feeling of lightness.
Beige, dove gray and light green are the perfect ingredients
to combine with small amounts of bright colors, which can be adapted according to the season.
From orange and yellow tones, ideal for welcoming autumn, to pink and sand.
In the living room, a beige sofa could be enriched with orange cushions during the colder seasons, which turn blue in the summer
to relax and soothe body and mind.
White is a color
and this, in itself, is already news for many.
And it is also the color that presents the largest and most used palette: it is a symbol of purity, innocence and brightness.
It is chameleonic
because it always changes allowing itself to be influenced by other colors and adjacent objects.
That's why having white furnishing accessories promotes relaxation and tranquility.
Ideal for bedrooms
, but also for those that are used as a temple of their passions and hobbies, such as a yoga gym or reading corner.
Not only for the walls, but
also for the furniture in the house:
a white furniture, in fact, instills calm, positively influencing emotions and sensations.
White and warm ambient light help create that state of peace and disconnection to escape the outside world.
Light plays with colors: it
illuminates, transforms and creates unique shades.
Each pigment acquires its own iridescent shades with respect to the light source to which it is exposed.
This is why it is essential to choose the colors of your home in relation to the light exposure, natural and artificial (lamps, chandeliers and candles are perfect in this role).
The relaxation environment par excellence is characterized by a landscape light which, by making the colors that surround it shine, infuses positive vibrations.
