The evening is finally yours. You are done with all the
chores, have put your kids to sleep and finally get a few precious moments to
unwind and relax. Instead, you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety and you are
unsettled.
If this is not a one-off experience, but occurs with some
regularity, it might be time to address your environment. Experts have
suggested that something like repainting your home could possibly improve your
health.
Psychologists say there is a correlation between color and
mood. This is why selecting a wall paint for your home should not be a matter
of aesthetics alone; you should also take into account the effect a color has
on your wellbeing.
Experts say when it comes to choosing a color, focus on how
it makes you feel, as opposed to picking a color because you like it.
Psychologists have further found that different color combinations tend to
bring out different shades of our personalities. The trick is to leverage these
colors in a way that results in a happy,
healthy home.
If you are going through a house renovation or looking to
shake off some depressive symptoms, these paint color ideas will help you
choose a harmonious mix of colors that captures the right mood and aesthetic.
Red with anxiety
If you are
anxious or amped up most of the time, you might
want to skip bright colors such as red or orange. Red is known to increase
blood pressure and heart rate, so if you want your home to be an oasis of calm
to curb your anxious mind, it might make sense to choose a more soothing
palette.
Remove sluggishness and overcome laziness with vibrant color
pallets
On the other hand, if you tend to feel sluggish, red is an
excellent choice for your home interior, as it helps with alertness. You could
incorporate bold colors sparingly, such as painting your cupboards red to make
them pop or painting a statement wall in a feisty color while keeping the rest
of the room neutral.
Improve concentration
Green is a color for concentration and is the best color to
be surrounded by for long periods of time. But you do not have to stick to
earthy greens; experiment with teal, mint or turquoise for dressers, bed
frames, rugs and walls. If you are looking for interesting home ideas to give you
a vintage feel, try sprinkling in some light pink accessories.
Increase appetite by adding red to your kitchen
Restaurateurs have long known that the color red promotes a
healthy appetite. Use red in your dining room and kitchen to stoke your
family’s hunger and build anticipation for whatever you have cooking on the
stove!
Reduce stress symptoms with calm and relaxing hues
Shades of blue and green are found to have a calming effect
and are best used in the bedroom. You could also paint your bathroom walls with
these serene colors for an in-home spa experience. However, vibrant shades such
as royal blue and Kelly green might be too dramatic and energizing.
Add warmth
Are you cold all the time? If so, you might prefer warmer
colors such as reds and yellows. On the other hand, if you are mostly warm by
nature, cool greens and blues will complement your state of being.
Other considerations
Color can also be used to create or reduce the perception of
space in a room. Painting your ceilings and rooms white might make the area
seem more spacious compared to a dark color, which would make for a cozier,
more intimate feel.
Remember, these colors and mood associations might not
affect everyone the same way. Do not be afraid to experiment and paint outside
your comfort zone. Regardless of the color combinations you end up choosing,
try to limit the color palette to a maximum of three. Concentrate on how they
make you and your family feel when you are surrounded by them and decide
accordingly.
Choose the right color at home, at work or clothes. It
greatly affects your health and comfort.
