The hues chosen for a room's walls and ceiling can help determine whether your interior design is a hit or miss. Here are a few color psychology tips to keep in mind when planning your home's color scheme。

　　房間里墻壁和天花板的顏色選擇會決定你的屋內(nèi)設(shè)計是成功還是失敗。當(dāng)你計劃要給家里裝潢上色時，這里幾個關(guān)于顏色的心理小提示要牢記在心。

　　1. Bright colors— that is, vibrant shades of green and blue, yellow, and orange — provide an expansive feeling. These are friendly, happy colors that encourage communication and are therefore especially welcome in the dining area and kitchen。

　　亮色系：一種充滿活力的顏色，如綠色和藍色、黃色、還有橘色。亮色系給人一種膨脹的感覺，也是一種友好和令人愉悅的顏色。這種顏色鼓勵人們交往，因此在餐廳和廚房這兩塊地方特別受歡迎。

　　2. Dark colors, such as red, purple, blue, and dark shades of green, can have a constricting and gloomy effect. But when applied in the right place or as accent elements, they can help convey comfort and security。

　　暗色系，比如紅色、紫色、藍色和墨綠色，有一種收縮和令人憂郁的效應(yīng)。但假如應(yīng)用在正確的地方，或作為一種強調(diào)的元素，它們能傳達舒適和安全的信息。

　　3. Warm colors — orange and yellow hues, for example — raise the perceived temperature of a room. For that reason, they're best used in rooms that face north. Because they inspire activity, avoid them in rooms meant for relaxation, like the bedroom。

　　暖色系，比如說橘色和黃色，會“提高”一個房間里的溫度。出于這個原因，暖色系最好用在朝北的房間里。因為它們能激勵我們活動開來，但要避免把它們應(yīng)用在適宜人們放松的環(huán)境里，比如說臥室。

　　4. Cold colors, such as icy blues and green, have a calming effect. They are especially well-suited for bedrooms; they help you to go to bed relaxed in the evening and wake up refreshed the next morning。

　　冷色系，比如淡藍色和綠色，有一種鎮(zhèn)靜的效果。它們特別適合用于臥室。它們幫助你在夜里輕松入眠，在第二天起床時會覺得自己精力充沛。

　　5. Navy blue inhibits people's willingness to communicate; do not use it in living and dining areas。

　　海軍藍會抑制人們交流的意愿，所以不要在會客廳和就餐區(qū)域使用這種顏色。

　　6. Red raises the energy level of a room, but it may also make people more irritable and hostile — so it's not a good choice for a child's room. Use it as an accent rather than a base room color。

　　紅色會提升一個房間里的能量，而它也有可能讓人變得焦躁不安甚至懷有敵意，因此要是用在孩子的房子里，恐怕不是一個明智的選擇?？梢园鸭t色用做強調(diào)色，而不是基調(diào)色。

　　7. Gray should be avoided for the dining area and kitchen — unless you want to dampen your appetite。

　　灰色應(yīng)避免出現(xiàn)在餐廳和廚房--除非你想倒胃口。
