How do you know where to start when decorating and choosing colors, and accent colors, and paint, and…????
Have you considered looking into the psychology of color? Did you know that certain colors can actually affect our moods, and even our appetites, as well as other things? We often find when decorating our apartment we have a hard time picking out just the right color. Although you will still have many options, this is still a great place to start. Please keep in mind, you do not always need to paint entire rooms, try some of these colors with just an accent wall to add a pop of color.
