Choosing colors for your home is a big task that will not only affect how your space comes together, but can also affect your mood. Choosing a good color scheme helps the room flow better and create a cohesive look but, if done correctly, your furniture and paint colors can elicit different emotions. Colors that impact your emotions can help guests and those who live in your home to feel relaxed and peaceful or it can spread feelings of uneasiness or fear.
Choosing furniture pieces should include a balance of personality, functionality and mood. Colors mixed together may have different moods than if they were on their own. Here are some colors that can bring out some good emotions and how color affects us.
Color And Psychology
For centuries, colors have had meaning and been used to show different emotions and power. Purple is often seen as regal, black shows somberderity and green gives off calming senses.
Communicating with color can evoke emotions, inspire reactions and change the way we think. You can lower or increase mood with color, excite people, lower blood pressure and even elicit an appetite. Color rules our world and once you learn enough about it, you can use it in your favor.
1-Soothing Green
The color green connects us with nature and the world around us. It can symbolize growth, connection and harmony, which makes it a good option for your home in a gathering space. Because green is more soothing, it can be used in small quantities or large quantities.
Using green for your furniture can make your guest feel more relaxed and comfortable. Some options for green furniture could be a green painted coffee table, or velvet green sitting chairs. Green can also be brought out with faux plants to decorate your area instead of adding to may colors that impact your emotions.
2-Serine Blue
Blue is probably not the first color you think of when it comes to furniture. But blue has some amazing emotions attached to it such as serenity and inner reflection. This is also a unique color choice for any space and can be trendy or more subtle.
Blue gives off emotions or peace, flexibility and imagination. A dark blue can be a great choice for cabinets or pops in a rug. Other ideas could include a clock, picture frames, art or a simple desk.
3-Neutral And Wood
Browns are often associated with age or parental comfort. Using neutrals in your home gives you the options of many shades of woods or beige. Brown also gives off the traits of reliability, dependability and resilience. Wooden furniture can give your home a more secure feel and make the space feel more mature.
Sugar House Furniture specializes in wood furniture and wants our customers to see just how much a structured wood piece can do for their home. Whether it’s a vanity, bookshelf, dining table or rocking chair, we can add some honesty and predictability to your home.
4-Classic Black And White
White is associated with purity and innocence and brings a lighter feel to a person or space, whereas black is very versatile and holds lots of meaning. Black can be seen as elegant or fearful and in certain contexts can also be seen as negative.
Mixing these two opposite colors that impact together creates a dynamic vision in your home, while also being more timeless than other bold colors. Black and white furniture is common in homes that want to seem more classy. Modern and luxury homes rely heavily on these colors for furniture and fixtures, as not to detract from the craftsmanship of the home.
5-Powerful Red
Red is a strong color, so even just adding some accents can make a difference. Red is seen often with holidays and food because it gives emotions of energy, desire, passion and strength. Colors that impact your strong emotions like red, could get overwhelming, but using an accent rug, cherry wood furniture or red pops in textiles could bring a romantic and strong presence to your bedroom or living room.
