Color Therapy for your Home

Pablo Picasso once rightly said that, “Colors, like features follow the change in emotions”


Colors are the inseparable part of our lives. They reflect our moods, personality and most importantly lifestyle. That is why, it is really important to choose a color therapy for your home.

Painting your home doesn't just mean choosing a color for your home but also choosing the RIGHT color is what is really important. Every color represents different meaning all together. Now a day’s people are more inclined towards choosing the light and translucent colors instead of going for the darker colors. The taste in art, architecture, fashion and interiors is really emerging among people, which is why people are going for soft and translucent shades like beige, lighter shades of green, lemons, whites and more such colors.

Colors are usually categorized as, warm and cool. Warm colors like Red, Orange and Yellow; provide coziness, warmness to the room and also stimulate mind and emotions. While the cool colors like blue, green and violet provide a peace to mind and give your room a spacious look. Colors are really important of one’s life; colors not only define the personality of the person but also affect the nature and behavior of the person.

Let us try to study some of the colors closely. Starting with Red, this color is associated with strength, energy, power and strong feelings like love, desire and passion. It also conveys vibrancy which makes it apt for Dining Room or can be used in your bedroom to give it a Dramatic feeling. Talking about Kitchen, Orange is the perfect choice. It is a wake-up color and stimulates mind and appetite. This color can be a good choice for Dining room as well.

Coming now to Family Room, Peach is a good choice. This color transfers positive energy and spreads warmth and maternity. Yellow is a very bright color and if the right shade is chosen then the color is perfect for the Study. Yellow is the color that repels depression and negative thoughts.

Now, talking about the Violet color, it is one of those which sets mind at ease. This is a wonderful choice for guest room. It can also be a great option for your hobby room, children’s room as it stirs creativity.
Apart from this are the two most neutral and soothing colors which can be used anywhere in your home- Green and Blue!

Green is a relaxing, centering, balancing color. Being that neutral, our eyes adjust to it very easily. Green is said to heal headaches and reduce anxiety. Blue is also very neutral color and thus gives calming and  peaceful environment to the home. It promotes deep breathing, and slows down the body.

I hope this will help you a bit in choosing the right color, instead of just going for a random color for your sweet dream home.
