Real Estate Ramblings in New Hampshire & Maine

• 11/4/2006 - Quick Pick-Me-Up Color Tips

   Splashes of Color!!!

Colors in your home can set the tone for your day.  Did you know that?  I had felt that, but never quite put it into words just like that, but color really can alter your mood, and the moods of those who enter your home, whether family & friends, or potential buyers looking at your home when it's for sale.

The real beauty of color is that you don't necessarily have to repaint anything to change your mood or set a different tone in various rooms in your house.  How can that be, you wonder.....

Simply add a splash of color here and there with decorative throw pillows, rugs, and curtains.  Those simple items can really make a big difference, and it's easy to do and doesn't have to cost much at all.  How cool is that??

YELLOW adds cheer, happiness, and warmth - a welcoming color for the entryway.

PINK/ROSE and shades of PEACH are very flattering for complexions, and really work well in bathrooms.  In bathrooms, a color to stay away from is yellow-green, as it can make you look a little jaundiced, and who wants to look like that??

RED and ORANGE shades can be stimulants - feeling a little hungry when you're in rooms with those colors?  Be careful using them in the kitchen. 

BLUE and BLUE-GREEN shades are quite soothing for most everyone.  This can be very helpful in bedrooms....anyone for a great night's sleep?

Choose colors that make you feel good - you are the one who will be living with it!
