The Effect of Color
and Light
Licensed
interior designers and color consultants consider
the direction a room faces. Whether it is north,
south, east, or west, makes a great deal of
difference to the choice of color scheme. For
instance, a bedroom that faces east and receives
strong sunlight in the early morning will look very
different when next seen late at night in artificial
lighting. A west-facing room that has a warm glow in
the evening can look dull in the mornings. Your
choice do colors should take this into account.
Of course, an ideal aspect is not always possible
for everyone. City flats may enjoy little naturally
available light and be overlooked on all sides. A
north-facing room can expect less sun than a south
or west facing one; but whatever the aspect, with
clever lighting and color scheming the interior can
be made to feel welcoming and attractive. The style
of house you live in can also make a great deal of
difference to the amount of available light in an
interior. A country cottage may be in a superbly
sunny location but have low ceiling and tiny
windows, which can make the interior, feel dark and
gloomy.
Modern homes with spacious open-plan interior and
large picture windows will be even more affected by
their characteristic and seasonal changes. If there
is a living room with a patio or conservatory
attached which is used as an additional seating area
during the summer but not in winter, the decor will
have to be flexible enough to accommodate the
changes. For people in doubt over lighting and color
schemes some top interior designers suggest painting
a room white before making a final color choice.
This is a good way to observe how changes in natural
light affect an interior and helps you make the most
of it when choosing a color scheme. Window and walls
will appear darker as they only receive reflected
light; ceiling always looks darker than walls
painted the same color. The effect of artificial
lighting on curtains is better seen if a sample
gauge of fabric is pleated and held upright. Put
samples flat on the floor and move them around the
room to see how different positions and lighting
conditions can affect the color.
