Colors like red are for passion and excitement while pink brings out the playfulness within us.The Neutrals give a sense of calmness while yellow and orange lead to a very cheerful mood, while the cool shades bring out the sense of serenity while the versatile, black and white link directly to modernity.

Each color has it own place, it is important to note which goes where. Colors like red are used in office building or living area. The neutrals are avoided from the bedrooms as they are so calming. Bright colors like yellow and orange help increase appetite hence are used in kitchens and dining areas. Colors like blue and purple can be used in bedrooms and the versitilesare mostly used in living spaces.

Effect of Lighting :
Thinking of the lighting, bright colors are used in kitchens to promote focus while living areas have mellow colours. Lighting not only effects the mood but also effects the shape and size of the room. The transition from outdoor lighting at night to the indoor lighting is to be taken care of.

Lighting for bedrooms is important, as when we need to sleep, the melatonin in our brain needs to decrease hence soft lighting must be used. We need intense lighting overhead for tensed lighting, workspace areas need bright wall lighting with cool tones. For privacy and private spaces low light levels in activity spaces and the rest of the space is dark.

This article highlights the powerful connection between color, lighting, and mood in interior design. I really liked how it explained the emotional impact of different colors and how they should be used in specific spaces to create the right atmosphere. Just as colors set the tone, indoor lighting plays an equally important role in shaping how a room feels and functions. From soft lighting in bedrooms for relaxation to brighter tones in workspaces for focus, the balance is essential. Thoughtful use of indoor lighting not only enhances aesthetics but also improves comfort, making interiors more inviting and functional overall.
