How Paint Colors Affect your Mood

How Paint Colors Affect your Mood

Picking a paint color is more than just finding a color that matches your couch. It can affect your mood as well.  The color you choose can brighten your mood, decrease your appetite or relax you after a long day of work.

Living Room

The living room is the place where you will entertain your guests so it is important to use colors that promote conversation. Pick warm tones of red, yellow and orange or earth tones, like shades of brown. These colors are warm and inviting and help to strengthen connections with friends and family.

Kitchen

If you are deciding to repaint your kitchen, you should consider yellow or white. Yellow is known to help aid in digestion making it a great color to have where your family enjoys their meals. Make sure to avoid red if you are looking to lose some pounds as red is an appetite stimulant.

Bedroom

Since the bedroom is where you go to relax and sleep after a long day you want soothing colors.  A good color choice would be pink, blue, green or lavender. You should pick a pastel or toned down version of these colors to get the desired calming affect.

Dining room

This room would be a great place to paint in a bright shade of red or orange. Since you will be hosting dinners for guests in the dining room, you want to stimulate appetites. Red triggers the brain to want to eat and orange is associated with cheerfulness and warmth.
