Nice and simple advice.. the background music felt to be a bit too loud at times though. However, as I was saying, I appreciate a lot this 4th clip. It does say something rather logical and straightforward and most of all, doable, doesn't it! Got it, I will definitely go for buying colourful objects (instead of repainting..:) )


Week 4: Easily Changeable Color

I was a bit puzzled after watching the video, as I understood that a social place should have warm colours.. Well, I bought blue accessories for my kitchen, and it feels cozy still...
My kitchen has ivory walls, and part of the wall is tiled with rather dull and oldish tile: white background with pale green and pale pink flowers. As about the floor, it is a dark mosaique, mixing white, grey and warm browns. Just yesterday I went to Ikea and bought some items to bring some colour to it. Well... It felt so right to buy a set of dark blue carpets, dark blue chair pads and dark blue flower pots, and they look really nice with the white from the appliances and the green of the flowers I have.
It really looks better, and I think that no warm colour (yellow, red, orange) would have been better than the dark blue choice.
Then I read the comments, the shade is indeed the cerelean blue.. which PhyllisC mentioned to be a warm blue. My feeling honestly is that I want to dive into it. It's just a very nice intense colour and the texture (important) is the one making it feel cozy. So I hope in the future videos there will be a multi-dimensional approach to warm and cool.. texture, light and the colours around the one we choose being also taken into account. More like a 5D approach :)

#1, I would have painted the inside of the shelves instead of making the entire wall white, but I guess this set-up is more to the general taste
