Color affects your emotions. It can be uplifting, calming, energizing or even irritating, influencing how you feel in the space. The psychology of color is not well understood, but it can be applied to everyday life.
"Color affects your quality of life at home"
Whether it's a choice of a calming interior paint color in a bedroom, or a rich, dark color in the dining room -- thought to aid digestion -- "chromotherapy" is the practice of using certain colors to stimulate various emotions and to improve health.. Color is something that many architects and designers have long recognized as having psychological benefits. Interior paint is not just decorative--- it can affect your quality of life. Color affects the way you feel when you're at home. It is uplifting and improves your mood, and in turn, your quality of life at home" according to Roberta Freymann of lifestyle brand Roberta Roller Rabbit.
To apply Color Psychology (aka Chromo or Color Therapy) to your house, consider how the rooms are to be used and the type of environment you want to create. Because blues and greens are gentle on the retina, they are usually considered to be restful and are often recommended for high use areas. Cool colors, especially blues, are also often used in bedrooms to promote relaxation. Warm colors can increase alertness, and purple-- a combination of warm and cool colors-- has been associated with increased productivity. This makes it a useful aid in home offices. Ms. Freymann espouses bright paint colors, which she feels can boos productivity, creativity and positivity. Interestingly, companies have utilized color psychology research for years. Fast food restaurants are especially known for this, and several use red, yellow and orange in their branding because these colors are associated with increasing appetites. Needless to say, if you are calorie or health conscious, these colors would not be good candidates to use in your home kitchen!
