INTRODUCTION: 

It is easy to forget about the power of color and how it affects our moods. Our emotions are deeply tied to memories and personal experiences, so when you enter a room, the colors you see immediately trigger a memory or feeling from your past. In fact, studies show that even slightly changing the brightness or temperature of a color can change your thoughts and feelings.

 

Selecting colors is not difficult if you equip yourself with some basic information about color and its effects.

 

What mood do you want to create in your room?

  • Red: Raises the rooms energy
  • Orange: Energetic
  • Yellow: The color of happiness
  • Pink: Calming color of love
  • Green: Most restful color
  • Blue: Color of calm
  • Purple: Color of sophisticated drama
  • Brown: Color of traditional comfort
  • Gray: The new “in” color
  • White: Timeless classic

Colors to use in your bedroom:

  • Green is believed to relieve stress and help with fertility, making it a great choice for the bedroom.
