EXTERIOR COLOURS OF HOUSE
The colours of a house and the face it presents should be uplifting. The effect of such colours on us is immediate and intuitive. The colour and condition of a house exterior can also affect its inhabitants. <The proposed colour scheme is given in table-I enclosed. It should start from bottom of the building to the roof.> /
EXTERIOR DECORATION THROUGH WINDOW - BOXES
Exterior colour schemes need not be limited to outside walls and windows. The colour of window boxes is another element of a buildings fade. The best window box colour is one that has a creative relationship with casement colour. The colour of the box should always be different from that of the window casement.
OUR HOUSE - INTERIOR COLOUR SCHEME
A general idea of appropriate colours has been given here to help enhance the specific room's atmosphere and use.
BEDROOM - Pink is best for the master bedroom. Pink is also an auspicious colour. Light green and light blue are also fine for bedrooms, as they are colour of hope and cultivation.
Plain white sheets or white sheets with flowers or colourful designs are fine. Pink or red sheets and blankets are used by those who want to get married as well as by newlyweds desirous of ensuring marital bliss. Yellow is fine for the elderly.
For young children, education is important and therefore, green colour. Black is fine for furniture to encourage deep thoughts.
LIVING ROOM- The living room should be full of May colours, shades, and patterns. As the place to entertain guests, the living room should be full of pleasant visual stimuli to keep the atmosphere and conversations lively and diverse. The best co ours are yellow, beige or tan, or green or blue.
MEDITATION ROOM - If there is a meditation room, an austere setting is best: solid, calm, subdued colours, with no patterns. Subtle and deep shades of blue, green, yellow, or red will encourage deep concentration and thoughts.
LIBRARY - The best colour, however, depends on the type of books that the residents like to read. If they prefer serious books, brown is an appropriate shade. For less serious readers, pale blue, light green or pink are good.
DINING ROOM- Dining rooms, where the family eats and entertains, should be appetizingly colourful. Pinks, greens, and blues are best. Avoid black or white or a mixture of black and white. These colours are less conducive to enjoying eating.
KITCHEN - In a kitchen, white is the best colour, it show off the colours of food, as if it were a blank canvas upon which the cook creates a meal of red tomatoes, green peppers, yellow squash. Besides it is also the colour of purity and cleanliness.
BATH ROOM- It can be white or a mix of black and white or gray. Pink and other pastel colours are also good.
COLOUR OF PUBLIC PLACES
The colours of public places - parks, mountains, parkways, rest areas and gardens should be both lively and vibrant and arranged in ways we do not see normally. This enlivens our energy and increases our happiness and pleasure. In general, the best colour choices for a large building such as skyscraper are white or coffee, gold or yellow, or earth coloured . The lower levels and base can be of white while the top floors can be green with red accents, suggesting the upper reaches of a tree laden with fruit, its good luck and prosperity.
SCHOOLS AND BUSINESS
Colours, full of life force - green, blue, bluish - purple, reddish - purple - stimulate the brain, providing access to energy. Such colours help them to work hard and concentrate.
From ancient times to the present, the colour of nature have provided a calming and invigorating stimulus to our bodies and minds, enhancing our emotions, speech, and nervous system, the reds, blues, greens, yellows and whites of trees, flowers, and earth help to inspire and regenerate our energy.
All colours of nature are highly evocative. Today, life is complicated and confusing, and our minds can become unsettled and weighed down by work, daily activities, and struggles. So we take vacations each year to rest and travel, to go to the mountains or seashore to regenerate ourselves. We need to see colours we do not normally see often, to bring balance to our minds and bodies and to stimulate our energy. This colourful change is, in a sense, enjoyment.
