Here at House to Home Organizing, we love to help people to declutter and get their homes in tip-top shape. However, did you know that you can incorporate psychology into your color choices for your home too? With so much color choices available in paint stores, it can easily get overwhelming in your renovation project. Even if you're planning to overhaul just one room, choosing the color can be a stumbling block. Coupled with that is the fact that the choice of color has such huge repercussions for the rest of the home's theme so you really want to get it right! Of course, you can use magazines, home décor TV shows or social media to help inspire you with color choices too. Pinterest and Instagram are fantastic places to begin your color choice journey; both platforms have tools for saving any inspiration you find so that you can easily refer back to it at any stage. Another great tip is to look at wall art in the room as a source of inspiration. You can use that to form the idea or theme of your color choice too and create a really cohesive look!
We also like to ask the opinion of a small select group of family and friends - ask too many though and you might incur a wide difference of opinion and thus end up in even greater confusion about what direction to take your color journey!
The guys at EZ Living Interiors have put together this infographic below; it outlines color by color what is suitable for different areas of the home. We know that it can be challenging when it comes to color selection because there are so many to choose from! Coupled with that is the worry that you're not selecting the right colors for the "look" that you want to achieve. That's why incorporating the psychology of color into your decision making process is the ideal way forward. The graphic also examines the interesting concept of the 60-30-10 rule for timeless-s decorating. Sometimes having an anchor like this when in your color selection mode of the renovation can really focus the mind and allow you to think in a clearer way. Check out the full infographic below for all the details!
