main component of how we experience the world around us. Hence, the choice of
living space surface décor has to be made keeping the below attributes in mind.
Red: Symbolizes power, passion and vibrancy.

Orange: Gives bountiful energy and also is a mark of innovation. It
can make people feel welcomed and overwhelmed if used well
·
Yellow: It stands for happiness, creation, and creativity. It
also has a perfect equation with natural light that can create a peaceful
environment.
·
Green: Green is the perfect choice for entryway surface décor
as it brings an effortless transition from outdoors to indoors. It also
symbolizes prosperity and abundance.
·
Blue: The color ‘Blue’ perpetuates feelings of cool, calm and composed. It is a
seamless fit for activity oriented areas such as pools or bathrooms.
·
Purple: This color adds a dash of lush sophistication, and
thus is an excellent choice for master bedrooms. A huge range of decorative
laminates can be installed as wall panels to give the whole room a rich
palatial look
·
Gray: A gloomy color indeed, grey often stands out of
used in combination with shades of maroon or pink.
·
Black: This color is a true indication of power. So black should be only used for
statement pieces where you want everyone’s maximum attention

colors of your interior surfaces, three picks are better than one. You can go
for a neutral shade for most prominent features such as wall panels and
flooring, a calmer color for furniture and other items. Then, pick a third more
dramatic color to pop in your statement accessories and décor.

If your living space is small and you want it to appear larger,
you can choose furniture that is slimmer and has well defined geometrical pattern.

hangings.

styling various surfaces. As laminates are available in numerous textures and
colors, one can stick to a warm color pallet and offer plenty of ambient
lighting in such environments.

space a real visual treat. They add freshness and a touch of nature’s love to
our dwelling or even workspaces. You can make sure that your entranceway is
clean, colorful, and welcoming. Spruce it up further with fire and water
elements such as dim lamps or even fountains.
