Blue-Color and Mood

At The Larkin Painting Company, we believe your environment affects your well-being, your approach and outlook on the world, your sense of self, your Soul.  Because our environments fundamentally affect who we are, we find the study of color and mood is fascinating.  Simple changes to your home’s palette can make all the difference between feeling harried and crowded or feeling content and like you have space and room to roam or just be.  We help our customers by providing color consultations so they can explore their color choices with confidence and support.

This week we explore the color blue.  How does the color blue affect your mood and the atmosphere of your home?  Blue is a gem of a color because practically any shade of it promotes positive and calm moods.  However, each shade also has its own mood quality.   For instance, aqua brings subconscious thoughts of water, cleansing, refreshment and babies (calm, sleeping ones of course).  056 It is dreamlike and feels lightweight.  Teal looks and feels tasteful, sophisticated and can encourage confidence.  Deep blue is conservative, classic and strong, thought-provoking and loyal, while periwinkle is lively, genial, and sprightly.  011Sky blue can make your space feel heavenly, reassuring, and transcendent.  When choosing a color for your space, think about how you want to feel in it, how you want your home to be a safe space and cushion you from the day-to-day stresses.

 

 

Be well,
