Decorating with certain colours is a reflection of your personality and has a direct effect on your mood. Create an emotionally healthy and happy home environment with this list of colours and the moods they create.
Red
Red is an intense colour that raises a room's energy and stirs up excitement. It's the perfect colour to use in a living or dining room to stimulate conversation.
It is also said to be an appetite booster so it can also work well in kitchens.
Yellow
Yellow communicates happiness and sunshine. It's a great choice for kitchens, bathrooms and entries to induce feelings of cheeriness and upliftment. It also makes spaces feel bigger and brighter.
It's best not to use yellow as a main colour scheme however, as it does tend to create feelings of frustration in large amounts.
Blue
Blue is a relaxing and calming colour that is recommended for bedrooms and bathrooms. It is even said to assist with bringing down blood pressure. It is important to go for softer shades though as the darker blues tend to evoke feelings of sadness.
Green
Green is the most peaceful colour for the eye and is well-suited to any room in the house. It encourages relaxation, comfort and togetherness.
Purple
Purple is a dramatic and sophisticated colour and its softer hues have a similar effect to blue but without the chilliness.
Orange
Orange is a vibrant, energetic colour, and while it’s not an appropriate colour for the bedroom, it is perfect for home gyms.
Black
Black is perfect for accents as it adds a touch of class when incorporated carefully. Be sure not to overdo it though as it can make a room feel claustrophobic.
White
White creates a feeling of freshness and cleanliness and is the ultimate colour to use if you’re looking to create a peaceful and serene environment. It’s suitable for any room and, due to its versatility, can be blended with any of the above-mentioned colours.
