Arguably the most universally relatable element of design is color. Everyone has a favorite color, or at the very least a color preference. There is also no denying the power of color. It both conveys and elicits emotion, it sets the mood and the tone, it creates ambiance and evokes nostalgia. Speaking purely visually, it can be used to create the illusion of space, separate areas, and create focal points. The fastest, most affordable and easiest way to makeover a room and to change how people perceive it is to slap on a fresh coat of paint, more so if it is in a new color.
