Paint your home…..

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

Just imagine, you enter your house to be greeted by blank walls. Then, you close your eyes and visualize your cozy home splashed in warm colors. Instantly you feel energetic, you will feel relaxed, your tension simply gets immersed in a space full of colors. True, home colors have a profound effect on our mood.

You may splash your bedroom walls with cooler hues of blue, light pink, pastel shades or white. Blue is a soothing color which pleases the eyes. It also has a relaxing and calming effect. While blue evokes tranquility, white is a grand color and gives a royal touch to the overall decor. The kitchen and the dining area is all about food and nourishment. Tomato red splashed on the kitchen walls and celery green in the dining area increases your appetite. Both these colors increase appetite. You may brighten the living room with shades of orange. Orange increases energy and excitement. Gray, golden green, citrons are colors which have a calmer feel to it go and go well for the living area.

At times give vent to your imagination and play with colors. I recently met an artist who is unconventional and a color freak. This guy gets his home interior painted each year. Recently he painted his living room with earthy browns with a dash of wine berry splashed on the walls of the dining area. Teal in the kitchen and bottle green in the bedroom – Wow it looks exotic.
I’m sure you have already decided by now what colors to decorate your home with beds, isn’t it?
