During my last visit to the Caribbean,I was fortunate enough to visit some of the homes in Antigua and experience the visual effects of rough-hewn beams that supports huge ceilings,and rattan chairs placed strategically in open spaces .I was intrigued by both the contemporary and colorful accessories that adorn some of the rooms in these houses.It was then I realise how color sets the mood,and how it impinges on our senses.A more detailed account and the use of color can be seen in Decorative Ideas That Work by Heather Paper.In this piece I will look at the colors which were more prominent in use in many of the homes,and the significance of each.
yellow-cheery
green-restful and relaxing
blue-serenity
orange-a sense of warmth
Look out for my next blog where I will go into more detail......
