Color Your Mood

posted in lifestyle |

Some people fail to realize how much of an impact color can have on our lives. Multiple studies show that different colors affect you mentally and physically. For instance black gives a sense of power, sexuality, and elegance. Blue has been said to slow a pulse rate, reduce appetite, and lower body temperature. Green signifies nature, health, and has been believed to hold therapeutic powers. Orange represents balance and warmth while purple can reflect luxury and royalty. 

The list can go on and I’m sure we all have sensed at one time or another, a colorful room having an affect on our mood. This allows us to control our household and our surroundings to help ourselves grow as people. Imagine being able to control your mood by walking into different rooms in your house; who needs a shrink anymore? If you’re thinking that you despise painting, rest assured you can achieve the same affect with great pieces of furniture. 

You may now speculate where you can find great furniture in such an array of colors. Just think of a design capital, for instance a furniture store in NYC. There will most likely be an endless selection of color schemes. Furniture in New York tends to be loud and strong enough in design that it can speak for a whole room in itself. Of course they have more subdued hues such as white, beige and browns, but what’s the risk in that? Challenge yourself and your surroundings and think outside of the box for once. 

Make a bold statement that can enhance the frame of mind of you, your family and your guests. People will leave your home talking about how elegant, calm, warm, etc…it made them feel. Put yourself in control of your life and mood by enhancing your rooms with color. Whether it is paint, furniture, accessories, or wall art, make an impact with your next home improvement project with the color of your choice.
