Which color should the children's rooms be painted
According to scientific studies, colors have an impact on mental development, creativity, productivity and learning, Betül Uç (PhD. Cand.), Instructor of Istanbul Rumeli University Interior Design Program, makes suggestions to parents in children's room design.
THE EFFECT OF COLORS ON CHILDREN
The effect of colors on human psychology and physiology has been scientifically confirmed. According to scientific studies, it is known that colors have an effect on mental development, creativity, productivity and learning. One of the issues that should be emphasized in color science is the color vision defect. Color vision deficiency is not a congenital but easily recognized disease. Families may not realize that their children have color vision problems. The color vision defect is referred to in the technical language as triviality and is divided into three:
First deflection: Redness of sensitivity to red.
Second deflection: Low sensitivity to green.
The third defect is the lack of sensitivity to blue.
Red, green and blue is not seen in any of the two colors is called monochrome. These people are called color blind because they cannot perceive color differences.
COLOR SELECTION BY SEX
Children enjoy seeing colors in every aspect of their lives. Blue schemes for boys and pink schemes for girls should not be made. In the spaces prepared for children, all colors, especially red, blue, green (primary colors) should be distributed evenly to walls and furniture. Differences in darkness in colors should also be created.
PERSONAL FEATURES IMPORTANT
Children's rooms; They should be designed in such a way that they can have fun, be comfortable but not crowded for a healthy sleep. These are the living spaces that should be arranged with concepts that will contribute to the personal development of children, in which furniture and colors are chosen. The use of vivid color for children's room decoration is conducive to enliven their creative interior world. However, not all colors can match your child's personality. Just as every individual's favorite colors change according to their character and taste, the rooms prepared for children should be colored and designed according to the personal characteristics of the children.
IMPORTANCE OF COLORS IN EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT:
Red: Energizing, stimulating, appetizing color.
Pink: It is less effective than red. It represents calmness and happiness.
Orange: Represents vitality, energy and fun. It affects the digestive and immune systems.
Yellow: Provides concentration, inspiration, stimulates the brain.
Blue: Peaceful, relaxing and calming, represents freedom.
Green: Relaxing, reassuring, influencing creativity and representing a sense of confidence.
Purple: It is a color that has a sense of responsibility and authority and reduces the desire and movement.
WHAT TO BE CONSIDERED IN PAINT CONTENT
One of the alternatives to be considered when choosing wall paint for children's rooms is water based paint instead of oil paint. This is because water-based paints are diluted with water, not chemicals such as thinner. Does not prevent the walls from breathing, dries in a short time and does not leave odor. It has anti-mold and anti-bacterial options.
Another alternative is a series of healthy paints produced with ecological natural raw materials without using chemicals. Heavy metals such as arsen, mercury, katmium, and lead, which harm health, should be minimized.
The use of wallpaper in children's rooms is not a problem for the personal development of children.
LIMIT THE COLOR NUMBER
It is necessary to establish a color scheme in order to design meaningful and aesthetic appearances in accordance with the space characteristics of a residence. When creating a color scheme, personal tastes based on education and field, culture, tradition and social phenomena, regional melodies and many factors are effective in determining the colors to be preferred. Therefore, in terms of color type, it is not appropriate to give the rules that reflect only personal preferences, as well as achieving the most appropriate results when selecting green instead of blue, yellow instead of red or light colors instead of dark colors.
The increase in the number of colors used in the space causes perceptual difficulty, attention deficit and visual discomfort. By limiting the number of colors (3 ~ 5), the color scheme becomes more meaningful and the desired effect is more easily perceived. Dark colors should not be preferred in large surface areas. As the color characteristic of light reflected from the surface changes, the perceived color of the surface changes.
AVOID LIGHTING DEFECTS
The correct light color should be selected when illuminating surfaces so that children can perceive colors correctly. Lighting and color should not be evaluated independently. When the children's rooms are illuminated, the spectral structure should be illuminated with proper light. One of the best solutions is to have plenty of daylight in these places. Daylight-like lamps should be preferred as daylight will be insufficient in indoor weather conditions. For example, when a blue surface is illuminated by yellow (warm) light, the visible surface color will be perceived as green, and when it is illuminated by a white (cold) color, there will be deviations in the hue of blue. In order for children to learn colors correctly, there should be no visual disturbances caused by lighting defects.
