THE "BLUE, RED AND PURPLE" SERIES 3: GET REDDISH!!!

 

THE 

"BLUE,

RED, 

& PURPLE"

 SERIES 3:

GET 

REDDISH!!!


Hello peeps,

Trust this post meets you well, it's always a pleasure to have your audience every weekend πŸ™

This month is all about exploring the world of colours and in my last post I highlighted color blue being a part of the mix in The "Blue, Red and Purple" Series, I guess it was insightful.

β™₯️ For lovers of colour red, it's your day today as I will be sharing insights on the meaning and associations of colour Red in this post.

πŸ›‘ For those wondering how on earth color red can feature in a space, be sure to follow through this post.

❌ And then if like me, you have your reservations about color red, I advise you read to the end as I share my opinion on the subject matter as well.

It's important I mention that my take on colour red is a divergent opinion and I hope it won't be misinterpreted.

Anyways, I will give it a shot knowing I have a very open minded and considerate audience 😊

Ready | Set | Go πŸ‘‡


#1:

MEANING 

& 

ASSOCIATIONS

Thinking of dominance, power and passion then think red. Also you wouldn't be wrong to associate colour red with extroversion, optimism, confidence and action.

Red is translated "Aka" θ΅€ in Japanese and is associated with life, energy, and the sun.

For the Chinese, red (HΓ³ngsΓ¨ de ηΊ’θ‰²ηš„) is a symbol of good luck, prosperity, and happiness, often worn by brides on their wedding days.

On the flip side, you would also find red associated with unpleasant emotions like anger, hate, aggression and so on.

Studies also suggest that red can raise blood pressure, respiration rates, and enhance metabolism.

Let's just say red is a mix of the good, the bad and the ugly 😊


#2:

RED AND 

YOUR 

SPACE

In the part of the world where I have spent most part of my life, colour red is not the ideal colour to feature in a space. This is largely because red is perceived as a symbol of diabolism, hence pulling a wrong impression of it's users.

However my exposure and experience as an interior designer has proven such notions to be wrong, as I can say confidently that color red (or any variant of red) will do great in a space provided it is adopted in the appropriate measure.

Trust me when I say color red is superb for

πŸ”Ί Focal walls (as seen in the picture attached)

πŸ”ΊAccent furniture pieces

πŸ”Ί Wall art and decorative ornaments 

πŸ”ΊAnd much more 

You can give red a try one of these days.


#3:

RED 

& 

ME

Colour experts are of the opinion that red is the most contradictory color because it has more opposing emotional associations than any other color.

Personally I have had to ponder how a single colour could symbolise two extreme expressions, πŸ€”

πŸ€” red is associated with love and also with danger

πŸ€” red means stop, and yet signifies passion and drive which are symbols of movement

πŸ€” red imply prosperity in some climes, yet remains the most suitable colour for describing bankruptcy πŸ˜€

And wait for this, red is a symbol used by rescue agencies like the Red Cross, yet used to denote emergencies and casualties πŸ€”πŸ’¬πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

Maybe this is the most controversial statement ever made on Consult Kenny Posts, but remember it's just a personal opinion and at worst a harmless banter on colour red.

I honestly hope to hear your opinion about my assertions as I'm open to having a rethink on this matter.

Feel free to revert on your thoughts as well as engage me on your project πŸ‘‡

  THE "GET IT RIGHT"  (G.I.R)  SERIES 2: PRONOUNCE IT  RIGHT!!! Hi folks, Trust you are doing great and I guess September is coming on well. It's back to school and I'm pleased to have my esteemed audience in class ☺️ I introduced a new series in my last post, highlighting a course outline that will help the Consult Kenny audience and subscribers brush up their interior design prowess. G.I.R 101 was first in line and the objective of this course is to help you with the right pronunciation of interior design terms. Just as it is with every other profession, there are terminologies peculiar to interior design. While you may be familiar with some, there are others you need guidance with, especially terms that originate from other languages like French, Chinese, Latin, Italian and others. Here are a few examples of such terms, their pronunciation and meanings πŸ‘‡ #1:  FRENCH Γ‰TAGÈRE πŸ—£οΈ/ etaΚ’Ι›r / A freestanding or hanging set of open shelves, designed to display trin...

THE "ABOUT THIS TIME" SERIES 2: THE SEASONS YOU KNEW NOTHING ABOUT!!!

  THE "ABOUT THIS TIME"  SERIES 2: THE SEASONS YOU KNEW  NOTHING  ABOUT! !! Hi there, Trust you are doing great and making the best of this summer. As for me, I'm trying my best to connect with my audience beyond the scope of my job as an interior designer and project manager by referencing cycles of seasons that spans 2 decades of my life, ranging from year 2004 to 2024. Hence, The "About This Time" Series  Going by my age, the seasons of my life you knew nothing about would likely exceed 3 decades (if you are not a relative, a friend or a colleague), but then I should ask myself; at what points did I become conscious enough to identify seasons of my life and their peculiarities? Looking in hindsight, the answer would be at points where I was plagued with BOREDOM, and here is what I mean πŸ‘‡   #2004: FROM  BOREDOM TO EXPOSURE  About This Time 20 years ago πŸ’­πŸ€” Photo: Ayodeji (left) | Yours sincerely (right) πŸ™ˆ Location: College of Technology, Yaba...
