GOOD MOOD COLORS

Hi, I’m Susi, a writer for Design Shuffle, a fabulous social media site that showcases interior designers and their work from around the world.  I am lucky to be able to visit some amazing design blogs as a guest blogger.  Today, I'm so happy to do a guest post about good mood colors.  Color has such a strong effect on our moods so it's important to surround yourself with colors you love and to bring those that can put you in a good mood into your interior designs.  Here are some of my favorite good mood colors. What are yours?



Pops of bright color, like yellow, can lighten the mood of a room.  This room shows that a few spots of good mood colors change the mood of the space.



Orange and cream are a happy color combination that can inspire a good mood. Used in the bedroom, they are a cheerful way to wake up.



Blues with a lot of green in them are happy, good mood colors.  Maybe it is because they recall tropical waters, and vacation dreams and memories.



Sunny yellow defines good mood color. Love it paired with loads of white; brown accents ground the yellow and white.



Lavender is a good mood color that feels sophisticated too.  It mixes well with other happy colors like aqua and yellow. Don't relegate this one to the bedroom, it lends itself beautifully to living room designs.



This blue has a lot of energy to it that works with the bold colors in the rest of the room.  Energetic colors can bring on a good mood.



Green in its many hues can be a wonderful good mood color. Lean toward sages and grass greens rather than dark olive to lighten and brighten your room and your mood. Pair it with contrasting pink, fuchsia or salmon for an energetic interior design.



If one good mood color is good, a mix of them is even better.  Love the yellow, orange and green accents in this white bedroom.  Because the color is in the accents, change them as the mood strikes.
