Now that we spend so much time at home it is only natural to look for various ways to make our living environment more lively and welcoming. One great way to do that is by combining different colours and shades to brighten your rooms. It has an amazing impact on your mood and productivity. Here’s what colours you should add to each room to get a specific feeling every time you enter the space.
Your Living Room
The living room is the place where you probably spend the most of your time these days. Good news is summer is coming and to get it even closer you could experiment with touches of sunny yellow and turquoise, aquamarine or sky blue. You don’t have to paint the walls, although if you feel like, why not! Usually just a few new changes or additions to the interior do the trick. Try new couch mini cushions in bright yellow and an aquamarine rug. Bright colours are powerful mood boosters and each of them has the ability to evoke specific feelings and emotions in us.
Not only is yellow the colour of the sun and usually helps people who are prone to depression and low mood episodes, but it also stimulates intelligence. So, if you have to work from your living room and your job requires some creativity and a lot of thinking, here’s one more reason to consider yellow for your surroundings.
Your Kitchen
Maybe this one is obvious, but a top choice for your kitchen would almost always be white if you want it to feel more inviting. White is usually associated with purity and simplicity. And to give it a luxury touch, add black and red. Black has always been the colour of elegance and exclusivity - it may make you feel more like a star masterchef when you are cooking. Red is used by most food businesses because it makes you hungry, especially in combination with yellow! Think about McDonalds logo!
Your Bedrooms
For your bedrooms choose pastel and calming colours to help you relax. Lavender is a great choice! It makes the space look brighter, but at the same time calms your nerves. Purple and its shades are connected to spirituality and mental wellness. If you have the option to paint your walls in pale lilac, we really think you should. Otherwise, get bed linen or a throw in that colour, change your curtains, add some big candles and perhaps a vaze with spring flowers. All these should make you feel a lot more relaxed when you are in your bedroom reading a book or taking a nap.
Your Bathroom
We’ve been advised to not plan any overseas holidays this year. It’s quite unfortunate and very disappointing for most of us. But if we can’t have a beach holiday in some exotic country, we can try to bring at least a bit of that spirit and feel in our bathrooms. The combination of white and blue usually takes our minds straight to a summer resort in sunny Italy or Greece. You could add a temporary wall or floor covering. There are many creative designs with exotic and relaxing views. Have a look online and choose your best pick that makes you happy.
Colours can do wonders in your environment. It’s also important to mention that colours alone will not be enough to keep you in a good mood and in good health. Decluttering your living space is essential for both your mental and physical wellbeing.
