In general interior should be light and neutral, but not too boring, - in it is necessary to bring some bright spots into interior.

It can be any pictures or toys; they will waken interest of the child and will help to development of attention concentration.

Red, orange, yellow are active colors. They will help with development of social function. Use red, yellow and orange colors is very good for languid, apathetic and inactive children, these colors are able to improve their communicative activity increases and mood.
Dark blue, blue, violet are calming colors. They well approach for places and the subjects connected with rest and dream: pillows, bed-clothes, covers. Such colors are also good for hyperactive children as they neutralize excessive excitation.

Green and its various shades calm and weaken. That is why its influence is used at shocks and strong nervous shocks. Light green is a color, which makes us more active, it makes us to study the world, to learn something new.

Brown symbolizes confidence, stability and calmness, but its big quantity does not bring please and even burdens. It is not capable to cause bright emotions. Therefore it is not the best decision in children’s room.

Black, white, grey colors are often treated as absence of color at all. They seldom cause any emotions (but if, certainly, they are not used in lots: a lot of black depresses and upsets, causes fear, and an abundance of white - creates sensation of emptiness and loneliness).

Considering all these characteristics, it is necessary to try to use these colors less often as possible. The child in the big degree learns the world through various colors, acquires concepts and values, studies to understand properties of subjects and the phenomena. Therefore we recommend you to avoid such “empty” colors.
