3 Consider the physiology of vision
The number of photoreceptors varies from person to person. The color and light perception of a person depends on the number of rods and cones in the retina. This explains why some people like bright interiors while others find them tiring. Some people feel good in bright rooms, others find them faded and boring. Some people do not have enough light, the room seems dim to them, while others, on the contrary, like subdued light, it does not tire the eyes, they see clearly in twilight lighting.
Rod photoreceptors are responsible for night vision, as well as adaptation to reduced light. And cone receptors help to see the richness of the spectrum of the surrounding world.

How to apply a calm palette and make it expressive
- In neutral interiors, textures and textures of materials come to the fore. The more diverse these characteristics, the better.
- Bright, calm rooms will be decorated with art objects interspersed with any one color. One such object in the room is able to enliven the space.
- Add the same moderate textiles to a calm interior, but with color. The color can be very light, off-white, not bright, but it will add a sense of depth to your space and bring out the main colors of the decor.
- Be sure to add a pattern or ornament. The pattern can be a muted shade or even embossed, textured. Use a different scale and size of the pattern, combine the types of ornament: geometry, vegetation, abstraction.
- Bright rooms need a variety of shapes so that the eye has something to catch on and look at. Bizarre shapes of decor items, voluminous compositions, different scales of furniture or patterns on textiles will make a calm interior interesting.
- Introduce a slight contrast in the finish, it will emphasize the tenderness of the interior. A pair of dark statuettes, thin picture frames, dark wood chairs with light upholstery, a sofa base or headboard frame in a contrasting color, a rich chandelier or table lamp base will add character to a light design.
- Calm spaces need a little decor to replace the active color and give the eyes the variety they need.
- Natural materials will complement the delicate interior, as they themselves have a soothing color scheme. Use stone, wood with a rich texture and pattern.
