Psychologists have studied the influence of color for years. They have found an obvious connection between color and emotion. Using these finds it is possible to tap into subconscious of people and influence the minds (even appetite) of the people in your kitchen.
Let's see how the wall color may change our food perception. Do you
want your meals be delicious regardless your cooking skills? Are you
looking forward to loosing some weight? Paint your kitchen walls gray
and pink, as German scientists G.Freeling and K.Auer advise. These
colors and their shades can help avoid overeating. Gray color doesn't
irritate, and in this case calms and downplays uneasiness, but together
with it and appetite. Pink (pale, not bright) induces the impression of
a certain mysteriousness, and in combination with gray contributes
self-contemplation. The German studies showed that this combination
suppresses appetite and even can cause food aversion!
Orange and
turquoise arouse appetite. "Tasty" colors include orange and turquoise
nuances, and also their combinations. If you put a picture in this
color scheme above your dinner table and look at it while eating, it
won't take long to get rid of superfluous thinness. Orange color tends
to illicit hunger and lift people's emotions. It is very warm,
life-asserting, and optimistic. Turquoise and blue-green colors tone
down irritancy, because they are colors of Nature.
Do you want
the space to feel larger? Light colors can be used to promote a feeling
of spaciousness. Pair them with cold colors - green, shades of blue or
lavender. They work well for sunny kitchens. Kitchens with lack of
light and windows looking north ask for warm tones - ochroid, beige,
and peach. Small pattern on the tablecloth, wallpaper, and the floor
will help visually enlarge your kitchen. Try small flowers, polka dot,
plaid, and stripes for that. And multiple accessories - tissues, towels
and others - make the kitchen feel bigger. Just avoid large details and
excessive color contrasts.
But what about the dishes? Colors
influence digestion as well. When a person looks at yellow candy, his
body produces more saliva than if the candy were red. Yellow and green
candies suggest sour taste while red-colored ones are expected to be
sweet. Even the utensil’s color can influence the taste of food.
Therefore, the plates and table utensils at upper scale restaurants are
usually white. White color does not distort the color charm of food
served and does not cause subconscious aversion.
Lingerie for women was just the plain underwear until the 20th century when it became the mean self-expression, as the subject of esthetic admiration. A piece of lingerie seen in between the women wear looked quite shocking to be shame and no one thought of designing luxury items based on lingerie, leaving alone works of art. Today every woman dreams of having a pair, or even more, of luxury and high quality lingerie to associate with sexuality, sensibility and attraction with male.
Today the knitwear is presented in so many styles and
it is so popular that no single autumn and spring collections can do without
hosiery. Knit
women's coats are offered in classic, sporty, romantic, vintage, casual and
ethnic styles. The demand for knit coats
grows in line with the more increasing range of color and texture of woolen
yarn as merino wool, angora, alpaca, Kashmir. Globally known brands launch knit
coats for women in their latest collections and most celebrities today appear
wearing knitwear for many occasions and that's hard to picture that some time
back it was something different.
First established in 1860, Chopard is one of the reputed watch and jewelry houses producing incredibly beautiful, fascinating jewelry items and watches of dream. The house also launched a number of celebrated fragrances as Casmir, Wish, Madness and Infiniment. Despite the long and solid history of the brand, it appeared only recently in the market of fragrances with the first fragrance Chopard launched only in 1992. Six years later, in 1996, the Chopard House presented its Mira-Bai, the fragrance which is still in favor among women keen on oriental scents. Mira-Bai shows no intentions to compete with such a fashion-setter in the sphere of oriental compositions as Guerlain Shalimar, though the fragrance by Chopard takes its niche among the classic perfumes in the market of oriental perfume.
Perfume launched y the Japanese brands or the one inspired by the Japanese culture is something so special in the international market of perfume. Unlike the other fragrances produced in bulk, such perfume with the traces of Japanese inspiration and life surely exert attention and this is reasonable: it is not only the perfume to market and ear money but the whole philosophy, covert but absolute. So, most perfume launched by the famous Japanese culture followers take their niches in the global market, like Kenzo and Issey Miyake. Issey Miyake launched the genially iconic fragrance of the 90s with such a simple and unpretentious name as Issey Miyake L'Eau D'Issey.
