The wall and the ceiling are the largest part of the
framework of a room, and way in which it is chosen to treat them can either
make or break the effects of the room. Historically, walls have always merited
decorative interest and attenuation. The elements of the interior design are
the separate parts or components that make up a space. The terms come from
long-used phrase elements of architecture, referring to the basic building
components: walls, floors, ceilings, columns, doors, windows and similar items.
Every building is made up of structural elements, those that actually support
the building and enclose it, and non-structural elements, additions that do not
affect the building’s basic structure.
All elements are made up of materials, such as wood,
stone, plaster, paint and paper. A wall might be built of brick, pint, stone or
wood, or plasterboards or stud, but this material may then be covered with plaster,
paint, fabric, tile, panelling, or any number of other materials. An important
part of interior design work is the selection for the various elements that
make up a particular interior space.
Color is the visual perceptual property corresponding in humans to the categories. Color
derives from the spectrum of light (distribution of light
energy versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral
sensitivities of the light receptors. Color categories and physical
specifications of color are also associated with objects, materials, light
sources, etc., based on their physical properties such as light absorption,
reflection, or emission spectra.
USE OF COLOUR AND TEXTURE CAN CHANGE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A
ROOM
Color has the power to manipulate our sense of space. Using
light hues from one color family will create an optical illusion of sorts by
visually expanding a room. If a ceiling feels too low, bright white can raise
one’s perception of its height. The walls can be painted with vertical stripes
also to enhance the sense of height. This technique can be applied with great
success in a play space for children. When the objective is to make a large
room feel cozy and intimate, paint color can again do the trick. Choosing
darker shades for the walls will reign in a large space and a darker shade on a
tall ceiling will lower it. If color alone isn't enough use color to create
visual breaks, the wall space can be divided horizontally with a chair rail and
the upper and lower portions can be painted in different colors. Picture
moldings are another visual device. The interior portion can be painted in a
different shade from the rest of the wall.

psychological effect on us. By coordinating colours rightly, a space can be
