Give your house a splash of color to lighten your mood

Bright colors and cute decorations help to keep us smiling when we are in the house. That might not be to everyone’s taste, but I think that the drab neutral colors and serious, clean lines that people seem to be using at the moment dampen your spirits and are no fun at all. Instead I prefer to have bold colors to accentuate areas of a room, not necessarily on the walls which can be overpowering, but definitely with the objects within the room.

So you could have a really bright turquoise chair in the corner of the room to help highlight that corner of the room, and maybe a nice rug on the floor with colorful designs on too. These may seem like such small changes that they wouldn’t do much to a room, but color really affects us, often without us realising it, and if you are having a tough day you can sink into that chair and the bright color will help lighten your mood.

You don’t have to make huge changes though if you don’t want to, forget about changing your furniture and take little steps first. Put up a nice painting which uses lots of vibrant colors, or when you buy some equipment next then make sure it is colorful like a pink docking station. A great place to get pictures from now is eBay, you can get imported genuine oil paintings pretty cheap, but the best bargains are the canvas prints. A canvas print is just like it sounds, you get a proper canvas stretched over a frame, just like a really expensive painting, but instead of anything being painted onto it then machines print the image on, which means they are incredibly cheap!
