INFLUENCE OF COLOR SOLUTIONS ON THE PERCEPTION OF SPACE IN RESIDENTIAL INTERIORS

Color solutions should be taken into account in interior design because they have a direct impact on the visual, and emotional perception of space. In this regard, the main goal is to study how different color palettes and their combinations affect the perception of the size, shape, and functionality of premises. The methodology included a comprehensive analysis of publications, recommendations, and practical examples demonstrating the influence of color on the perception of rooms. Experiments were also conducted on the use of various color solutions in simulated interiors, which allowed us to identify the most effective approaches to creating a harmonious design. The results showed that warm shades such as red, orange, and yellow visually “warm” the space, creating a cozy atmosphere and reducing the feeling of coldness, while cool colors such as blue, green, and purple expand the space, adding a feeling of freshness and coolness. Light shades can visually increase the area of the room, making it spacious, while dark colors add depth, and accentuate certain areas of the interior. In addition, the correct use of contrasting, complementary color combinations helps to zone the space, creating visual divisions without the need for physical partitions. The conclusions emphasize the importance of choosing a color palette that can not only emphasize the stylistic orientation but also influence the perception of volume and light in a residential area.
