What color of walls to chooseWhat color walls to choose a Fashion for Totally Whiteinteriors came to us from those countries where snow falls only on the big holidays (and even then not always). Love for this color is quite understandable - there is too much visual "noise" around us, and white is able to neutralize it. But do not forget about the climate - we do not live in Italy and not even in England, where the lawns are green all year round. In combination with the always cloudy sky, bare branches of trees and dirty gray slush on the sidewalks neutral white walls can become the last drop - the degree of mood will drop to zero.Eskimo-Inuit living in Greenland,nature also does not spoil, but they manage to avoid depression. In these parts, only one natural source of bright colors is the northern lights. Perhaps this is what prompted the local residents to have a happy idea - to use unusual colors for decoration of facades and interiors. In Greenland, this is not only a matter of aesthetics, but also a way of survival: try to find a white house, lost among the snowy plain! Simple Greenland anglers have not been trained in design courses and with the word "chromotherapy", they are most likely to shrug their shoulders, but when it comes to choosing colors, they act unmistakably. They equally diligently avoid both neutral (beige and gray) and aggressive (red, yellow, orange, etc.) colors. Perhaps the life of Inuit and primitive, but for their homes they choose complex shades of pink, green, blue and burgundy. Like white, these colors act peacefully on the psyche, but unlike him have a much more pronounced emotional charge. So why do not we follow their example? This publication uses pictures of the Finnish photographer Tina Itkonen. She lived for four months in Greenland, making Inuit portraits, exploring the details of their daily lives and relationships with the vast ice desert that they call their home.
