In our new house, I rejected linen-white walls and got into color. It was a soothing, alluring shade and it worked its magic on our dinner guests. After awhile, however, I got to thinking I might have to change the wall color. People would sit at our dining room table until well after midnight. I started researching the effects that colors can have on different people and what I found is really no surprise.
Color can alter the way a room looks and feels.
It can make you want to stay in the room or hurry up and get out. It can make a room seem larger or smaller, warmer or cooler, cheerful or depressing. Everyone has an emotional response to color. People are attracted to colors for various reasons. Still, there are some color facts that can help you determine what colors are right for your home.
