Room by Room Color Guide for Paint

July 21, 2016 By Broadlume

It can be tricky determining what color to paint a specific room. Find out what colors create a positive reaction from the mind in specific rooms!

Yellow is an excellent color to paint a kitchen. It actually heightens your metabolism and gives you a burst of energy. Not to mention it is a cheerful color that promotes activity. Avoid using this color for bedrooms, as it does not promote rest or relaxation. Definitely do not paint a baby’s nursery this color. It is thought that babies cry more in nurseries painted yellow.

Red is a good color to use in the dining room. It stimulates the appetite and creates a warm, intimate environment. This color also evokes the feeling of love, which is the desired emotion every cook wants their guest to feel while eating their meals!

Paint a home office blue or grey. It is the most productive color choice. These colors  give you a sense of calm and serenity, but also of strength. This allows one to think clearly and get more accomplished.

Green is a perfect color for a bedroom. This color promotes a balanced, calm environment. It promotes good health and makes you feel closer with nature. Just be sure not to paint the bedroom a bright bold green, which can be a bit much! Look for lighter or muted tones of green. Green is an excellent color to paint a boy’s room. It is also a good color to paint a master bedroom that is shared by both sexes. Light purple is a pretty color choice for a girl’s bedrooms. It gives you a sense of calm and promotes relaxation.

Grayish purple paint colors are a great choice for a living room. Lavender has been proven to promote relaxation. Grays with a purple undertone make for a nice base color that can be combined with many different color palettes.
