Bright Colors
Vibrant shades of green, blue, or even yellow or orange can create an expansive feeling in your room. These colors can bring feelings of happiness and work well in your dining area or kitchen — where you may be spending extra time with your friends or family. Can you imagine walking into a bright yellow kitchen and feeling gloomy? It’s more likely that your mood will be uplifted because of the bright, fun, sunshiney color.
Dark Colors
Darker colors, as you would imagine, have the opposite effect. They can bring down your mood and make the room feel gloomy. In the right room, however, and in the right place, these colors can create a feeling of safety and security. With the right decorative accents, a dark wall can look great in an office or bathroom.
Warm Colors
Using warm colors in your Dallas home can be a great way to increase energy, as they inspire activity. Oranges and yellows are great for your kitchen, dining room, or even your living room. You’ll want to avoid using these colors in rooms meant for relaxation, however, like the bedroom.
Cool Colors
These are the colors you want to use in your bedroom. Cool colors like blue and green promote calm, relaxed feelings. They help you go to bed relaxed and wake up refreshed in the morning. You may also consider painting the ceiling in your bedroom the same color as your walls — a white ceiling can cause trouble when trying to fall asleep.
Colors to Avoid Altogether
While you may think it’s a good idea to paint your kitchen or bedroom a certain color, there are a few things to consider before you make that leap. For example, painting any room red can raise a person’s blood pressure and make people irritable and hostile. It can be used as an accent, but we suggest that you avoid using it as the main color for any room.
Red isn’t the only color that can have a negative effect on your mood. Navy blue tends to inhibit people’s willingness to communicate — so you may want to avoid painting your living room or dining room navy blue.
