Walls press, walls heal. It is not for nothing that shades are given such importance: they can affect our well-being and mood.
Colors awaken feelings, evoke emotions. The mood can deteriorate for no apparent reason, everything around begins to irritate, get on the nerves. The whole thing may be trivial in boring wallpaper, but we are not aware of this. But color therapists understand all these subtleties and give advice on which shades are best to use for different rooms in order to feel happier.
Entrance door
“It should be either black, elegant and sleek, or dark green. It is the color of abundance and luxury, ”says British color therapist Alison Strandish.
The dark blue color is also suitable: it will make it clear that authoritative people with good taste live here.
Corridor
It connects all rooms together, so it should be as neutral as possible. The expert advises to paint the walls in a soft green. For example, the main shade of this season is “calm dawn”. “Usually people living in apartments feel a lack of communication with wildlife. Therefore, live plants or at least images of nature, landscapes would be appropriate here, ”adds Alison.
Canteen
If you are fortunate enough to have a dedicated dining area, the expert advises adding orange or terracotta details to it. They make the atmosphere more hospitable, conversation within the walls of such flowers is easier and freer. You don’t have to paint the walls. Enough orange table top, bright rug, chair cushion. In addition, it is important to pay special attention to lighting here. The light should be soft, not blue, otherwise the food will not bring the proper pleasure.
Kitchen
The ideal color for her is yellow. “Simple interior solutions look best in the kitchen. And the yellow and orange hues help digestion. In addition, citrus colors give an impression of brightness and freshness, ”explains Alison Strandish.
The same rule applies as in the case of the dining area: it is not necessary to paint everything in total yellow, a few bright accents are enough.
Bedroom
Here the expert advises to give preference to purple, blue or violet shades. Not necessarily dark, it can be lavender, soft and muted light blue. But the dark colors make the room look luxurious. Also, add some red plush pillows: red increases sexual energy. The room itself seems to support the spouses’ attraction to each other.
Bathroom
Shades of blue are most appropriate here. “This is the color of purity,” says the color therapist. Blue can be easily revived with warm shades: add bright orange or yellow towels, place a vase or even a rubber duck.
Living room
Soft grays, greens or blues are ideal for the main room in the home. But warm colors should also be in pillows, curtains, bedspreads, decor or paintings. Feel free to dilute muted tones with orange, yellow, or purple. “These accents will make the room feel friendly, warm, relaxing. You don’t want to quarrel in such an atmosphere at all, ”says Strandish.
cabinet
The work area should help you concentrate on the task at hand. Shades of yellow do the best with this: all kinds of prints, yellow pillows, and other decorative elements.
