Without ever being aware, colors can affect our moods and how we function while viewing them. By learning how colors work, you can choose color schemes for your home to reflect your family’s personality.
Calming
Classic and cool, blue has the ability to lower blood pressure and make you feel at ease. Nothing is more peaceful for a bedroom. However, beware of grayish blues which are usually too cold for comfort. Deeper hues leaning toward red or green are warmer and more welcoming.
Soothing
Green is the color of hope and rejuvenation and will revive and soothe your spirit. Green rarely feels cold, making it a sound choice for bedrooms or anywhere you seek comfort. Yellow tones are more stimulating and would be good for a kitchen or dining room, while blue tones are more calming.
Graceful
Violet in its pure form is indisputably regal. It speaks to the creative and delicate alike. Ranging from meditative lavender to the sophisticated eggplant, this color works well anywhere.
Cheerful
The color of a sunny day, yellow evokes warmth and cheer, giving an instant lift. This color is an excellent choice for an entertaining room, making guests feel welcomed. To stay “happy” versus “warning” lean toward creamy yellows; which are perfect softened with white accents.
Stylish
Neutrals (beige, brown, taupe, white, gray and black) are a quiet alternative to color that is rather refreshing. They are perfect for rooms that connect to other rooms for a nice transition. They are also a good option for rooms that spotlight collections, letting your prized possessions speak for themselves.
