5 Myths Which Needs To Be Correct – Interior Designing

Every year, new trends jump into interior design, and if we talk about 2015 color trends then this trend washed away some old myths about color combinations. And there are always some traditional rumors which should be waived off from our minds. So for those who started their career in interior designing and who are just searching about it for sake of their interest we put together some basic and old myths about interior design. These are some common things which we should keep in our minds while designing a space.

White Ceiling

Paint the ceiling always in white to make your space more spacious.
We all know that white reflects the light better than any other shade and this is the typical color for the ceiling as well, but there’s no interior designing rule that says you have to use only white for the ceilings. White really doesn’t make your room larger but it makes your room brighter so coloring the ceiling two shades lighter than the wall color can help you do the same, it will make your rooms feel more bright and spacious.

Dark Colors create a depressive environment

If you use dark colors then they will make you feel depressed, low and make your space small.
We should always remember the rule that light reflects according to color shades we use, so if you use dark colors in small kinds of rooms then it will create only a cage-like effect and make you feel so bounded and will affect your mood according to this. So use the dark colors in a room with a couple of windows where natural light can come inside, use light color furniture and accessories to reflect the natural light more. And if you have a high ceiling in your room then you can paint your ceiling with a dark color to make it feel more down.

Everything Should be Match

Yeah, there is also a so-called myth in interior designing that everything in your interior should be matched.
Although this is good to match up the color scheme with your furniture or other accessories this is not really necessary to match up everything, you can go beyond and play with some catch and cozy color combinations. You can always play with your choice of different colors, like if you like green and yellow then try to find out the different ways to mix and match these colors in the interior color scheme. This is always cool to play with new ideas. Check the image below, it will help you to think beyond this typical matching myth.

Pastels are feminine

There was a time when people used to consider pastels as a feminine color scheme.
We’ve already explained in our article 2015 Color Trends You Should Know About that pastel is not feminine anymore, Pastels have come a long way from only showing up in nurseries or in kids rooms, we can combine them with zesty modern color schemes to get the comfortable ambiance in our favorite spaces.

Kids Room Should be in Pastel or Primary Colors Only

This is not true to limited with the primary colors only is the only way to color your kid’s room.
Colors have the ability to change your mood and behavior. This is really true for kids, who can be extra sensitive to color’s impact. So the importance of choosing just the right color for a kid room shouldn’t be underestimated, keep in mind that every child is different; these color generalizations don’t apply to all the kids so we should always be creative to think that which color will impact more positively to your kid’s brain.
