Wall Colours for Your Mood

Whether you are looking to make small changes or completely redecorating your home, it is important that you choose the right colour scheme, although it’s not an easy task especially if you need different walls in different rooms to provoke various moods. For instance, the bedroom should make an individual feel relaxed and calm, while the dining room should make one more sociable and lively. Below is a breakdown of how different interior wall colours affect our moods:

1. Blue

It is a very calming colour that makes one feel relaxed, centered and serene. This colour is majorly known to help in clearing one’s mind as well as lowering blood pressure. Although most blue rooms have a lovely appearance, it’s vital to note that pastel blues tend to come as very cold and chilly. However, the warm and light blues are great and are also easily balanced with furnishing.

2. Yellow

A yellow colour is generally necessary on the kitchen walls since it brightens one’s mood and also increases energy. This is something that majority of the people need in the morning as they prepare breakfast. This colour can also catch the sunlight and leave one with an uplifting feeling of liveliness and joy.

3. White

A white colour brings the fear of dirt in majority of the people. However, painting your house walls white is a good way to help bring the feel of more open and spacious and the individuals within it more neutral. The white colour majorly gives a happy medium which leaves people feeling clean. This colour also stands for innocence, protection, and goodness.

4. Green

It is a perfect colour that can be used in your home office since it shows prosperity and also reduces anxiety. It is also a restful colour for the eyes and is known to be mind clearing, restorative and encourages composure.

5. Purple

Purple is a dramatic and rich colour that is historically known to be the colour of luxury and royalty. A deep purple colour gives a mysterious, romantic and luxurious vibe and is also great for sparking creativity. The deep purples are not best for the bedroom unlike the lighter ones such as lilac and lavender which are good options due to their calming and light effects.

6. Orange

It is an exciting colour which brings a burst of enthusiasm and energy. It is among the great colours to use although not perfect in bedrooms and living rooms. The orange colour is recommended to be used in the kitchen and also the dining room since it stimulates an individual’s appetite.

7. Red

Most people link colour red to romance and roses while others link it to hostility. The colour is also known to raise blood pressure, irritability and heat beat. It is suggested that the colour should be used around Christmas into the social rooms only.

8. Pink

It is more interesting to understand that there is something called the pink effect. This is especially when there is exposure of large quantities of pink and thus having a calming effect on nerves and also aids in relieving the feelings of anger, neglect and aggression.

The pink colour has an opposite effect on its primary colour which is red. The lighter pinks are good in kid’s rooms since they promote playfulness and kindness.
