The colors in your home can have a big impact on your mood. There are certain colors that can help you relax while some shades can bring you down. Not sure where to start? Here are some of the top cheery hues that will surely lift up your mood every time you walk into the space:
Yellow
Yellow is uplifting to the spirits. This hue is upbeat and friendly and communicates happiness. It’s excellent for kitchens, dining rooms and bathrooms. For entries and small spaces, this color can help make it feel expansive and welcoming.
This color also stimulates creativity but it’s not a good choice as the main color scheme. According to studies, in large amounts, this color tends to create feelings of frustration. Try using it as accents and let it shine against a sophisticated backdrop like gray.
Blue
This color is calming even in its bolder forms. Recently, bold and vibrant blues have been a favourite in the interiors world, especially for Scandi-inspired homes. Darker tones such as midnight blue look wonderful on kitchen cabinets and furniture. Blue tones also work best in studies and bedrooms.
Green
This year’s Pantone Color of the Year gives a feeling of being connected to nature. In its softer forms, it’s a very soothing shade. Bolder greens, on the other hand, can make you feel energized. Using green as part of your décor can make a room feel like it’s linked seamlessly to the outdoors. You can try combining green with other colors but remember that the key is to use colors that are in the same tonal group.
Pink
Pink has always been associated with femininity, perfect when you want to add a touch of feminine vibe to your space. It reflects warmth and sensitivity, and generally linked with things that are soft and delicate. If you want something that signifies an optimistic outlook on life, though, opt for vibrant pinks. It’s fun, energetic, and inspirational. This color is best used in living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms. Pink can sometimes make a space feel small so used it in a space with large windows or a room that has a lot of access to light.
Red
Did you know that according to studies, this color raises the heart rate and induces emotion? When decorating with red, try to add some patterns to tone it down without losing its vibrancy. This color is perfect when you want to have that confident and optimistic vibe at home, and also best used during winter months as it gives a warm feeling. Small pieces here and there can work year round in your design.
