How the Color of Interior Painting Can Affect Your Mood
Ways Paint Color Shapes Moods
Light Boosts Moods
In the same way a bright, sunny day can be uplifting, light colors in a room can perk you up. If your goal is to make a room more cheery, expansive, and welcoming, choose soft pastels for your interior painting. They can relax or energize, depending on your color of choice.
Dark Encourages Intimacy
Rooms with darker colors tend to create cozy, intimate spaces. Rich browns and reds can make a room feel warm and safe. If you're feeling a bit frazzled or anxious, a bedroom or den with deeper interior painting selections may take the edge off and subconsciously offer reassurance.
Neutrals Offer Flexibility
Palettes of brown, black, gray, and white in a room have the flexibility to either add a sense of calmness or liveliness. The key is to pair them with other colors that can serve as accents. For instance, black provides stability and depth to nearly every hue on the color wheel. The same is generally true of all neutrals when used with bolder colors.
