In the context of increasing attention to the creation of a comfortable and functional-aesthetic space of various types of interiors, as well as to the visual effect that arises during their perception, the identification of effective design factors is becoming increasingly relevant. Creating a harmonious color scheme for the interior is one of the main aspects in ensuring comfortable visual perception, and consequently, favorable conditions for human life. The inclusion of coloristic works of fine art (various types of art objects) into the interior is an essential aspect in solving this issue. This article identifies one of the factors contributing to high-quality and effective design – the coloristic levels of perception of an art object in the interior space are identified, analyzed and formulated.
In the course of the study, the basic properties of color combinations are systematized and structured, based on interdisciplinary sciences, such as physics, psychology and fine arts, which influence the perception of various types of art objects in the interior. Based on them, it was determined that coloristic levels of perception from maximum, intermediate to minimum depend on a number of their main components, such as: 1) degree of color contrast (in degrees); 2) combinations and connections of colors; 3) signs of associative color scheme. As a result of the research, an innovative approach was developed, necessary in creating a specific space corresponding to a creative idea, in which the coloristic solution of art objects and the interior are in mutual harmony. The results of implementing the developed approach are demonstrated using examples of creative projects of design students from Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture (KNUCA), Ukraine. The study demonstrates examples of completed work that confirmed the effectiveness of the developed approach in optimizing the process of choosing their color scheme, taking into account the coloristic relationship with the interior. Thanks to the use of this approach, the art objects were harmoniously integrated with the interior space, perceived as an integral part of the overall design and responding to the conceived creative idea.
Thus, the proposed approach can be useful from a theoretical point of view as a basis for studying, establishing and supplementing the various components of coloristic levels of perception. It can also serve as a tool for optimizing the process of determining the color scheme of the interior space in conjunction with various types of art objects.
