what color should I paint my room?
I have to paint my house. It has been "whipped white" for 7 years...........only now its a little more gray, and crayon strewn, with a few dents thrown in.
What ideas do people have about color theory, emotion, etc.? what colors and how do they affect people.?
I"m moving away from depression, so I want somthing uplifting, but not too stimulating, and something that will help the kids settle enough to do school stuff in the same room . The shades are navy fabric with flowers of rose, light green, off white. The floor is wood. and we have 2 nice medium dark green chairs. Not that it matters. I'm not a fashionista.
Any ideas?

I actually just used these colors in my home and I <3 them.... Think about texture too - a light faux glaze treatment with a rag roller could add richness to the colors you choose, whatever they may be.... :)

I have The Healthy Home, although I don't remember if it has color theory. I used to have some feng shui books, but in the name of feng shui, I purged, and they're gone! I don't recall off-hand what the titles were. I would go to the library and feel it out. I was so into that stuff a few years ago; now I miss it! It is such fun placing things in just the right place and associating different areas of your spiritual life with the space around you.
I think terracotta is better for the overall space; then an accent of buttery yellow, especially while you heal from depression. Do you have plants too? They are like quiet, gentle friends.

So maybe buttery yellow with an accent wall of terra cotta? Or vice versa/?
What are some good books? Can you recommend a great one? I'll check into it at my library.

You could do green with a lot of yellow and warmth in it. Or yellow, which is uplifting but not overstimulating. You could do a buttery yellow.
Terracotta would be ideal, very earthy. Good for depression. The opposite of depression.
Blue wouldn't be good. Red, orange, pink--very stimulating.
I have books on this--it's fun to read about it. You could check out some feng shui books.
