Decorating with Warm Colors

As summer is winding down and autumn is approaching, it’s time to think about decorating with warm colors. Reds, yellows, oranges as well as combinations of these colors are considered “warm” colors. The stronger the color is, the more its intensity increases creating a warming effect. These colors can influence a range of emotions such as feelings of happiness and excitement. How can you incorporate warm colors into your decorating scheme?

Warm colors work well together because they are located near each other on the color wheel. When warm colors are added to the decor of a room it adds spice or personality to an otherwise bland space. Using a warm color in combination with a neutral color can create a balance within a room. While warm colors are stimulating, these colors should be used sparingly. You don’t have to implement these colors in every room in the house to get the warming effect. Instead, you can opt to use a warm color as an accent against a neutral-colored wall or floor. Using warm colors as accessories can add spice to any room without going overboard with the color scheme.

One of the biggest advantages of using warm colors is that it can make a room appear cozier as the color advances. When using warm colors, it can make a space more intimate and warm. Colors like red and orange can make a space appear smaller and more inviting. Warm colors are also great for rooms that are sparsely furnished because it can make the room feel intimate even though it’s not completely filled.

Warm colors can also be energizing! Avoid using a bold warm color as a dominant color in specific rooms. In areas where you want to minimize stimulation like the bedroom.

Are you ready to begin adding some warm hues to your home? Start by adding the warmth sparingly so you can determine what works for your home’s decor and what doesn’t. If you decide to use red tones, offset it with a dark brown or black accent. Tan and off-white make great accent colors for orange hues. When decorating with warm colors remember that less is more.
