color schemes

monochromatic ^
A monochromatic color scheme room is a room using only one color throughout the room. In my room I created, I used the color blue because blue is calming. I used different tones and shades of blue as well to create this room.


--

analogous ^
A analogous color scheme room is a room that uses colors adjacent to each other on the color wheel. In my room I created, I used the colors yellow, orange and red. I used these colors in a kitchen type atmosphere because they are all mostly warm colors to get people excited right away in the morning during breakfast.

split-complementary ^

A split-complementary color scheme room uses two colors adjacent to its complement color. That is why I used green, blue and orange. I thought these colors would be good for a bedroom because they are very subtle, especially the wall color. It is very calming for a bedroom.

--

triadic^ 
A triadic color scheme room uses three colors equally spaced out on the color wheel, so I used the three primary colors: red, yellow and blue. I thought these were cool looking colors together and it makes the room look very patriotic and bold.

color text questions

1. These factors have the most psychological impact color on people: age, gender, culture, and life experiences.
2. The color red makes people feel bold and energetic. The color green makes you feel makes you feel peaceful and calm because it resembles nature. The color violet is a royal color and gives off a dramatic and dignified feel.
3. The secondary colors are orange, green, and violet. Orange is the mixture of the primary colors red and yellow. Green is the mixture of the primary colors yellow and blue. Violet is the mixture of the primary colors blue and red.
4. When listing tertiary colors, you always list the primary color first.
5. The value of a color is the relative lightness or darkness of it. As you move out from the middle ring of the wheel, the colors become darker and they are lighter in the middle of the ring.
6. These are the differences between tint, shade and tone; tint is when you add white to a color, shade is when you add black to a color, and adding gray to a color is called tone.
7.  By adding a neutral color to a hue, the value of the hue changes to either a tint or shade. This makes the hue less intense.
8. Yellow and orange are warm colors and blue and green are cool colors.
9. The monochromatic color harmony only uses a single hue from the color wheel. The complementary color harmony only uses two colors that are directly opposite of each other.  The split-complimentary color harmony uses one hue and two colors adjacent to its complimentary color. The double-complimentary color harmony uses two colors and their compliments from the color wheel. The analogous color harmony uses related hues from the color wheel. The triadic color harmony uses three colors that are equally distant from standard colors on the color wheel. The neutral color harmony includes black and white as the basics hues on the color wheel.
10. A color scheme will use color harmonies to blend and unify the design of the home. So these factors influence the way color scheme is used throughout planning an interior design: moods and styles, lifestyles, function of room, items in the room, and location of the room.
11. The basics guidelines for using color correctly: When applying colors to large areas it makes the room appear to gain intensity, and when using contrast colors it draws attention. Color harmonies are easier on the eye when the base color dominates, and when choosing colors for large rooms select low intensity colors. Heavily textured surfaces make colors appear dark and if a room is very large choose colors that will make it look smaller, but if its a small room- color can make it look bigger.
13. I think the color light blue would work for these two clients because it is cool color with a less intense tint to it. That color makes you feel calm and relaxed, so it is good for both sleeping and reading. When the light shines into the room it will make the color less bright so that would help as well.

element of design: texture

There are three categories for texture- visual, tactile, and audible. The mirror on the wall defines visual texture because you look at it, and see your reflection. The picture on the wall that says hot popcorn is visual too because it has words on it and you can read it. Another visual texture is the red and gold pillow on the couch, it is sitting perfectly on the couch and shows depth of the couch. The last visual texture I have spotted is the lamp beside the couch because it it lengthy and looks nice next to the couch. The tactile texture is spotted in many different places in this room. For starters, you can feel the plant on the side table next to the couch, therefore it is tactile. The couch is also tactile because you can sit in it and it looks bouncy/comfy. The pillow that has curved lines on is also tactile because it looks fluffy just like the couch. Behind the couch, there is a brick wall, and that brick wall definitely shows a tactile texture. It seems to have a rough texture to it. Now we are moving on to audible texture.The ram on the wall shows audible texture because it's shiny and if it was rubbed it would be squeaky. I think the picture next to the hot popcorn picture would be rough, and wood-like so it would sound very dull when rubbed. Next to the couch, I would say the side table would give off the same sort of feel as the wood picture on the wall, so that is another audible texture. The last one would be the light fixture on the ceiling. I'm sure that when it is touched it would make a chime noise. Overall, I think this room really displays a lot of textures and all these textures combined together make a very good feel to this room. I really like how I designed this one and could actually see myself designing a room like this sometime in real life.

element of design: line

Horizontal Lines
I think this was the coolest design for horizontal lines because it is the wood in the background that is going horizontal. It adds width to the room, and gives off a very relaxing feel. Not just because the wall decoration says so, but because the horizontal lines make you feel like it.


----


Vertical Lines
This back wall of vertical lines adds height to the room. It also makes the room feel slimmer. This back wall looks great with the thin and bold vertical lines. Even though this is a very elegant room, it gives the room a sort of movement feel.


----



Diagonal Lines
The diagonal lines on the ceiling bring more attention up there. The lanterns give off an interesting look as well because they have diagonal lines too. Even though the brown and cream colors are relaxing colors, the diagonal lines give off an excitement feel.


----


Curved Lines
There are curved lines everywhere in this room! Curved lines make rooms feel much larger than they really are, which then it also increases the size of the space/room. It adds interest and softness to the room and gives off a very youthful, flowing feeling.
