Color in the interior is a reflection of the owners' personality. At the same time, it is an opportunity to change the perception of space without architectural intervention.

That's why it's so important to have an idea of what decisions are preventing you from creating the interior of your dreams.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told which options are better not to use.

To ensure that your well-being and mood do not depend on the design of the walls in the room, it is better to avoid the following decisions.

1. Colors

Orange. It does not promote relaxation, but quite the opposite. It is permissible to use orange as accents on a neutral background.

Red. This color is used by many in the kitchen and elsewhere. But you need to be careful, because red increases appetite, and also blood pressure. It is also not recommended for the bedroom.

2. Shades

You need to be careful when combining dark and light shades. They can visually lower the ceiling.

And if you decorate the near walls dark and leave the far wall light, the room will seem long and narrow.

3. Bright accents

Even when you need to create something bright in the room, you need to think about the fact that the eyes need to rest.

Bright colors overload the space, acting as an irritant.

4. How to choose

Professionals use the formula 60/30/10. In percentage terms, 60 is the base neutral shade, 30 are the additional colors, and 10 are the accents.

And the last thing to consider when choosing a color for the interior is lighting. The fact is that the color of the walls in natural light will differ from what you get in artificial light.
