Colour Psychology For Home Decor

Colours have a language and impact of their own, capable of affecting humans both physically and emotionally, thus impacting our mood significantly. That is why selecting a colour theme for decorating your home is so important. Let’s have a look at how some colours impact our home decor as well as our moods and spirits.

1 Sunshine Yellow: An Enriching Hue
Sunshine yellow is most commonly affiliated with optimism and happiness, as it helps in activating memory, promoting creativity and stimulating human nervous system. Paint your walls in sunshine yellow and tone it down with various accents to get the best of this wonderful hue.

2 Muted Yellow: Roomy and Relaxing
If bright yellow is not your preferred way to go, you can try muted yellow, a much neutral and paler shade of yellow. Another great benefit of muted yellow hue is that it adds to the roominess of a room, just like in this image, especially with big windows letting in plenty of light and white, bestowing small space of this living room with serenity and capaciousness.

Bold Red: Energizing and Dramatic
Red, no matter which room it is painted in, contributes towards a romantic and passionate ambiance. You can add a dramatic flair by using bold red generously or can simply introduce mild cosiness in a place by using it subtly. This colour can work out especially well for teen bedroom decoration ideas.
