When designing an apartment, color matters, it really does. And what color you use makes a huge difference in the feel your apartment gives off not only for people who stop by, but also for those who are living with it everyday.
Not only should a room in your apartment look good, but it should also make you feel good. When picking colors for your walls, make sure to pick paint colors that appeal to your emotions.
Check out these ideas for colors that I like best for certain rooms:
Bedroom
Lavender - A lighter shade of purple like lavender will bring about comfortable feeling of warmth and relaxation. This color will help you psychologically have a deeper and more restful night's sleep. For one of the best versions of Lavender, try Chateau Rose by Behr.
Living Room
Green - Shades of green have been proven to promote positivity and a happy relaxed feeling, especially in your living room. If you want to bring about more smiles, then this is the way to do it. Go with a green shade like Stem Green by Benjamin Moore to help you relax and recover in your living room.
Dining Room
Orange - Want your dinners and dinner parties to rock? Go with a shade of orange like Melon by Behr on the walls in your dining area. Bringing red and yellow together, orange eases people and encourages social interaction. Studies have shown that people have a tendency to open up more in orange or red rooms versus rooms of other colors.
Home Office
Blue - Shades of blue promote productivity. What more do you want out of your home office area? In tests, workers who were exposed to shades of blue in the work place were considerably more self disciplined and productive. Nothing says hard work like a great shade of blue!
Bathroom
Whatever - When picking a bathroom color, be selective of a color that is complimentary to the rest of the apartment. Lighter shades of yellow look really nice in the bathroom, but no matter what just see how it makes you feel ... relieved I hope.
So that's it. A few simple ideas for paint color in your apartment. Follow some of these rules and your pad will look lavish in no time. You should see ours!
