In the past, red dyes were expensive, so red walls and fabrics suggested either luxurious wealth, importance or ill repute. Today careful use can easily suggest an Asian influence. Red’s connection with heat is so strong that it can make you feel warmer even when the temperature hasn’t changed. Too much brings associations with violent emotions leading to impatience, confusion and irritability. Used with caution it can enrich although it does tend to make small rooms even smaller.
过去,红色的染料都很昂贵,因此,红色的墙和织物意味着奢华、财富、重要性或坏名声。现在,谨慎地使用红色很容易让人想到亚洲的影响。红色与热的联系是如此紧密,即使气温没有改变,红色也可以使你感到更温暖。过多的红色会使人情绪浮躁,以至失去耐心,引起混乱和易怒。小心使用红色,它能使你的房间更富有情趣,尽管它会使小房间看起来显得更小。
