Want to create more calm, serenity, and relaxation in your home? A peaceful home atmosphere can help you to keep the flame of Valentine’s Day romance glowing even after the roses have faded and will add to your everyday well-being like nothing else!
Even if you don’t want to paint the walls with these colors, try introducing them in the form of area rugs, toss pillows, candles, artwork, photography, or other decorative accents.
Relaxing Colors
Green Nature’s color, calming and gently energizing at the same time. Green is a harmonizing and balancing color for those in need of refreshment. Think rolling meadows, grass, the freshness of spring and summer leaves, sage, pine, celery, lettuce. And always remember that fresh potted plants are a perfect way to bring green into any room.
Blue Soothing, meditative, restful, peaceful, spiritual. Lowers blood pressure. Think cloudless skies, deep waters, sapphire, lapis lazuli, azure, cerulean.
Purple Comfort, protection, spirituality, calm. Think royal purple velvet, wizard capes, plums, clusters of ripe grapes.
Lavender or Violet Healing, calming. Think fields of French lavender and sweet-scented violets.
