Picking a color scheme is a crucial decision that every homeowner is supposed to make. This year, 2017 is all about people\u2019s love of nature and how Mother Nature\u2019s hues can be used to create a palette that\u2019s nourishing and uplifting.<\/p>\n

One\u2019s perception of nature is always beautiful. This is a universal observation. If you have observed \u2013 throughout the ages \u2013 poetry and paintings have always given importance to the natural world. Paying homage to nature is also human nature. Just picture the majestic mountains, the beauty of lakes and rivers and the greeneries of the forests and you will immediately feel a calming wave.<\/p>\n

Nature can be your inspiration for colors because Mother Nature is the <\/em>chief colorist. You, too can fuse textures, colors and light to create the most breathtaking palettes. Go for a walk during fall and you are likely to see a lot of orange hues and greens and browns.<\/p>\n

Use nature\u2019s wisdom and use that to colorize your habitat.<\/p>\n

Light and Nature <\/strong><\/p>\n

Nature\u2019s colors also change as the light changes. Natural light during the morning is warm and soft and it contrasts beautifully with many colors. As midday comes, natural light shows a full spectrum. It then contrasts everything that\u2019s paired with it. It also becomes more intense and strong.<\/p>\n

By the late afternoon, the light casts a softened glow. It then bows out with a golden glow which deepens as the twilight offers the warmest reds complete with purple overtones.<\/p>\n

As you pick colors, be sure to consider the functions of each room. The amount of natural lighting as well as the direction from which it would come from must be well-thought. Create 12-inch square samples of potential colors then move them from one room to the next.<\/p>\n

Learn about the effects of light on different colors and during specific times of the day. If the colors look too dark during the evening, see how artificial lighting could change that. Keep sampling till you get the right hues that work under the right amount of light.<\/p>\n

Create Visual Interest <\/strong><\/p>\n

Nature offers a lot of surface variations. There are many patterns, textures, and gradation that can enrich colors. Being subtle is the key but be careful that your home doesn\u2019t become dull because you don\u2019t want to become too adventurous. For instance, a grassy meadow is monochromatic but using different shapes and textures and interplaying them with light can create visual interest.<\/p>\n

A monochromatic room can also achieve visual interest when it makes effective use of different shades of the same hue so this means you could go from cool to warm and vice versa. You could also go from intense to muted then light to dark.<\/p>\n

Mimic the natural look of forests and its paint effects. Use color washing, ragging, glazing, the choices are numerous.<\/p>\n

Take note also of color proximity. Think of the colors that can be used together and also as solo hue. Neutral gray, for instance, can appear warm or cool depending on the color that\u2019s placed right next to it. Use cool blue for a cooler hue and pair it with warm rust to make it look cozy.<\/p>\n

Layer the Colors <\/strong><\/p>\n
When you look at Nature\u2019s scenes, observe how the colors are majestically layered. The desert, for instance, offers sandy tones which are perfect base colors for a neutral frame. If you are willing to use desert colors, you could choose to use these hues for the walls in your home. Against this neutral background, you are sure to see more interesting colors such as cactus green and reddish browns.<\/p>\n
Nature also offers the most interesting accent colors. See how you can use them to stimulate a lively ambience in your home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
