Your house has feelings!
Your house truly has the ability to convey a feeling. It can come from a number of things such as location, architectural style or furnishings but another huge influence is the colors you choose. Colors evoke a visual response but they also evoke a strong emotional response. Warm colors (colors influenced by yellow, orange, red or warm purple) create a feeling of warmth, comfort and optimism whereas cool colors (colors influenced by blue, green and cool purples) create a feeling of calm and relaxation. Your response to color is unavoidable as it happens subconsciously at an almost DNA level and is in large part responsible for how we feel in an environment. When colors are carefully considered and used in a beautiful way they create environments we love to be in and we tend to love the colors for much longer than colors selected for example because they are the current “trend” colors. Since color is one of the most cost-effective ways to change a home’s impression it makes sense to take it seriously. A gallon of ugly costs the same as a gallon of beautiful so buy the beautiful” is my advice about paint. Let me know if I can help!
