Psychology of colors, the kitchen
The kitchen is a friendly room. Generally it is a place of taste testing, gathering and talking, or sipping a cocktail at the end of the day. The kitchen is a family room. By choosing the colors used in decorating, you can help to promote well being in the area.
Every color has a different effect on people. Every color has a different effect on every different person too, that is why it is important that you are involved in making your own color choices. The following are only guidelines, the decisions really should be yours.
The color most often associated food is orange. This color tends to illicit hunger, and could be a great color to use strategically in the kitchen. That is, if your not on a diet.
Blue is the opposite of this color, it represses the urge to eat and can eliminate hunger. For that reason you want to try and maximize the orange and minimize the blue.
Black should be avoided as a major color in a kitchen. It will absorb heat making an already warm room unbearable. The exception is if it is used with white, since white will
balance the color as well as reflect heat to some extent.
Generally it is best to go with earth tones in the kitchen. These colors such as tans and browns can create a sense of grounding and closeness. The feeling of ease and belongingness will make the kitchen a wonderful room for you to feel safe to create in. Those colors will also hide food stains well, as they match the color of foods.
In an already hot room, red is best avoided. It is an extreme color, and should be left to the living room. It will evoke a sense of heat, and can cause irritations to the eyes.
By using colors in a planned manner you can control the undercurrents in a room. These tips are a guideline, it is up to the one who uses the kitchen to find the right balance.
