This summer you could undoubtedly get the impression that this year's summer would no longer end. But finally it also became winter in Germany. The birds have moved south, sometimes lakes are frozen. Snow a lot in some places too. One or the other will think of a winter walk.

Unfortunately, it is very cold outside, which is why the day prefers to be spent in your own four walls. It is all the more important that it is nice and cozy at home. If your own four walls are beautifully decorated, the cold and dark season can also be enjoyed.

How does it work best now?

This works best if you create contrasts with the dark colors. This means that people who have certain problems with the dark should worry about how they can best illuminate their apartment.

Above all, warm light colors are suitable here . White lighting indications would be recommended for the late afternoon. The bright light colors prevents the sleep hormone melatonin from pouring out.

As the name suggests, the melatonin makes you tired. Melatonin is distributed when it is dark. This is also the reason why many people get tired early in the cold season. In winter it usually gets dark around 4 p.m. But very few people want to go to bed at 4 p.m.

Color and art: a symbiosis of creativity

Let's start with the obvious: works of art are the simplest and most effective means to bring color to the home. They are more than mere decoration - they tell stories, arouse emotions and can determine the entire atmosphere of a room.

Art as a color accent

A single work of art can serve as a powerful color accent. Imagine a neutral space - maybe white walls and minimalist furniture - and how a strong, colorful painting attracts your eyes and immediately creates an emotional connection.

It may remind you of an unforgettable summer vacation or bring the calm elegance of an urban landscape into your living room. This is exactly where the magic of art begins.

The domino effect of colors

If you select a work of art, it often inspires the color palette of the entire room. For example, a painting with strong blue and green tones can serve as a starting point to select pillows, blankets or carpets in similar colors. A harmonious yet exciting interplay of colors is created that makes the ambience look in person and coherent.

The power of color: psychology and effect

to fully understand the effect of color psychology of color . Each color has a specific effect on our mood and can significantly influence the character of a room.

Blue: calm and concentration

Blue is often associated with calm, peace and spirituality. It is the ideal color for bedrooms or home offices because it has a calming effect and promotes concentration. Combine different shades of blue in works of art to create depth and dimension.

Red: energy and passion

On the other hand, red is the color of energy, passion and warmth. It is particularly suitable for rooms in which you want to be active and sociable, such as the living room or the kitchen. A work of art with dominant red tones can make a room appear more dynamic and lively.

Yellow: happiness and optimism

Yellow radiates joy and optimism. It is the perfect color for rooms in which a lot is laughed and lived, such as the children's room or the breakfast area. Works of art in yellow enliven the room and make it friendlier and more inviting.

Art and color: a harmonious interaction

In order to achieve optimal results, it is important to combine art and color planned. Here are some tips on how to proceed in the selection and arrangement of works of art:

The correct placement

The right place for a work of art can make a huge difference. First consider the effect of the work of art. Should it dominate the room or be more harmoniously integrated? Central walls or over the sofa are often particularly suitable. Make sure that the work of art hangs at eye level so that it can be easily viewed.

The selection of colors

Select the colors of the works of art to match the existing color palette of your room. This does not mean that everything has to match tonally, but a thread should be recognizable. Grip the main colors of the artwork in other elements of the room, be it in textiles, furniture or accessories.

The right frame

Topic and style

Technology and art: digital art as a new possibility

Thanks to technological advances, new opportunities have arisen in recent years to bring art into their home. Digital art has established itself as an exciting field and makes it possible to easily change and adapt works of art.

Digital frame and screens

Digital picture frames and screens offer you the opportunity to present and change works of art flexibly. You can adjust your favorite works seasonally or change depending on the mood.

Digital frames often lack the depth and texture of traditional paintings, but they offer a variety of forms and flexibility that is second to none. Digital works of art can be the perfect addition to technology -savvy households in which innovation and change are at home.
