Color is one of the easiest and most effective ways to change the

atmosphere of a home, and to improve our overall well-being. For

that will really deliver an energy-boost. Or if you've been frazzled

and on edge, there is another that can calm and soothe you. There are

healing secrets in color that can really help to balance the feeling

in your home.

How Color Feels in the Home

It helps to choose the colors you plan to live with in your home with

awareness of how different colors affect your emotional and physical

states. Every color has a unique vibration all of its own, and this

can significantly affect how you feel in a room.

 

Using this simple chart, you can choose a room's color to be in

balance and harmony with the role you want a room to have in your and

your family's life.

 

Red: A room that is painted red will energize, inspire activity and

movement, help passion, be powerful and stimulating. A red room can

also be exhausting and overpowering, and stressful for those who are

anxious. Pink is less demanding. Choosing a red bedroom would not be

restful, although some red can be used to enhance sensuality. A red

exercise room would be energizing! In Feng Shui red means luck.

 

Orange: Orange rooms encourage happy, joyful, social gatherings.

While an orange dining room or family room can stimulate the

appetite, it is a great choice for such gathering places. Orange

enhances parties, communication, positive feelings, and general good

cheer.

 

Yellow: Yellow rooms inspire intellectual clarity, organization,

clear headed articulate thinking, and happy energy. Yellow is

considered a color for the logical left side of the brain. Yellow is

also very bright and somewhat energizing, so one needs to choose its

placement with care. A yellow office might be intellectually

beneficial, but not allow restful downtime, for example, so one might

want to choose to include yellow accents instead of painting each

wall yellow.

 

Green: Green rooms are very restful but combine with an energizing

quality. Green is the color of outdoors, calm and active at the same

time. Green brings balance and harmony, healing, and rejuvenation to

a room, and can be used as a calming place for people who are

troubled or in need of refreshment.

 

Blue: Blue rooms are often chosen for bedrooms and meditation rooms

because its cool energy is very calming, restful, peaceful, and

spiritual. Blue helps inspire a quiet meditative quality, and color

therapy with blue has been found to reduce blood pressure. Blue is

also useful to soothe one to sleep.

 

Purple/Indigo: Purple is very comforting, protective, spiritual, and

calming. It is a rich color which inspires faith, intuition and

trust. Entire rooms painted purple could be overpowering, but a light

violet could provide a very healing and calming atmosphere.

 

White: White rooms work anywhere combined with accent colors. White

is very purifying, uplifting and cleansing, although too much white

can reflect a sterile, isolating quality. White ceilings are

recommended because they reflect light and brighten any room.
