Warm colors for your living room, for an empowering atmosphere

Warm colors in living rooms are the best way to create an energizing environment through interior design.

A living room must be cozy, welcoming, warm, it has to be the perfect spot for our leisure time. The best way to transform the atmosphere of this room is with colors! Use earth tints that remind you of the nature, warm colors that will embrace you in an energetic mood. Brow, dark orange, deep green and intense yellow will be the best choice of colors to restore your spirit and fully enjoy time at home with your beloved ones. These colors have been proven to increase adrenaline and breathing rate, raise blood pressure and body temperature, thus making you feel warmer. The stronger the color is, the more intense this “warming” effect tends to be.

Raw materials

Warm colors are so effective because they instinctively remind us of nature. That is why wood and raw materials are the easiest way to include these tints in our home décor. Objects and designs that show the most natural look of wood have both a reassuring and empowering effect on us, and skilled craftsman and designers have the ability to increase this feeling when creating their best works. Dialma Brown is a brand that mainly works with earth colors and natural look materials, and this cabinet is one of their finest pieces: minimalist, modern, and exalting the beauty of raw wood at best.

Is green a warm color?

You may think of green as a cold color, but certain tones and shades can make this tint work perfectly in a warm color scheme. The choice of material plays a great role in the perception of the colors too: alike wood, almost all the natural materials bring the same feeling of warmth and energy. Stones and marbles, when they come in warm deep tints, are able to give you the same instinctive feeling of a dark brown color. This little round table is designed by International Marmi, and it is a wonderful example of how the color green can fit beautifully in a warm color scheme environment: picture it next to the wooden cabinet we have seen before, and try to imagine the empowering feeling of these two design object combined.

Flooring

With such intense tints all over the interior design, it would be better to choose a neutral color for your flooring: both tiles and wood can would look fantastic in a delicate beige or a very pale brow. That said, we know you can’t resist and put a touch of color even on the floors. A carpet can be a wonderful accessory for a living room, especially if you have a very large area. A nice middle eastern style rug would be a beautiful feature for your living room, but if you think traditional carpets are too old-fashioned, there are brands that provide original solutions for your. There is an eccentric Spanish company, Hidraulik, that creates rugs that imitate majolica and mosaics: the trompe-l’oeil effect is astonishing, and the variety of warm colors they offer is really vast.
