Paint Color
Color is an inexpensive way to completely redo the color
scheme of a room -- without the costs of new furniture, accessories,
and other furnishings.
Colors affect us psychologically, and you should take into
consideration how you want a room to make you feel. How you
respond to certain colors can be a good guide for deciding
how to set a particular mood.
Colors can also have an effect on rooms and how
they affect you.
If you want a room that generates energy or excitement, choose
reds and oranges.
If you want to warm up or brighten a shady or darker room,
choose yellows, oranges and reds.
If you want to cool off a too-sunny southern exposure, choose
greens, blues and purples.
If you want to open up a small, dark area and make it seem
larger or brighter, choose white and yellow.
If you want to create a cozy, sophisticated feeling in a large
room, choose dark blues, brown.
If you want to create a calm, peaceful environment, choose
blues, greens.
