For many the task of painting the interior of your home can feel dreadful. However this doesn't have to be the case. The biggest reason people put off the painting of their interior comes from the difficulty of choosing the "right" colors. So many times people choose colors based on what "other people" like or how they will be perceived. Of course as we all seek acceptance in some way, shape or form, the painting of your interior really needs to be more about you.

Keep in mind these are the rooms that YOU live in and YOU look at every day. So it is important to take these color schemes seriously as these are the rooms that affect your mental attitude daily. Take into consideration what the room is used for. What functions go on in this room daily?

Then take a bit of time to research the psychology of colors. Oh sure, some of you right now are saying this guy is getting a little to deep on just painting a room. Am I? Take a minute to understand the emotions and feelings that colors can induce. There is a vast amount of psychology and mental triggers that colors can affect.

For instance some colors are known more as cooler colors and others warmer. Some colors can create a euphoria of calmness as other colors can implement feelings of anxiety or excitement.

In the end understanding colors and how they can be used to improve your mental attitude and overall happiness is a very important concept. Colors can play a very big role in your day to day mental attitude.

One example is say you are a creative person who needs an atmosphere that inspires creativity. Do you think painting your office a neutral color like tan or gray really is going to help inspire you with new ideas? Not at all. You want something more vibrant and thought provoking.

Perhaps in your kitchen, a place where most people start their waking up process. Something bright but yet not overbearing. Something that helps to ease you into the day and also inspires positive emotions with a little color.

In the end when choosing your colors don't just take a color wheel and randomly pick out your colors. Take a little time and effort in doing your research. If you need help by all means ask your paint contractor for suggestions.
