Therapeutic Color: Quiets the Mind - Soothes the Soul

Our world is a beautiful abstract of colors. Colors elicit human response. Whether it is at a conscious level or sub-conscious level, the anatomy of color effects us emotionally, psychologically, spiritually and physiologically - at various levels. It is therefore, beneficial to plan an environment you feel good about coming home to; one that soothes the spirit and regenerates the soul. How can you achieve this? Simple, through the use of color! Color is a single, quick and easy ingredient for transforming an ambience of a room!

Colors that lend a sense of relaxation are cool blues, teals, lavenders, purple, cool greens, navy blue and white. You can do this relatively inexpensive by changing the paint color of a wall or introducing cool colors through accessories as those of area rugs, vases, pillows, fabrics and candles to complement your theme.

You can also create an ambience for rest and renewal by introducing colors that symbolize your personal nature element. To lessen the intensity of color on the emotions, elemental colors can be used in pastels and subdued hues. For example, if the color of your nature element is green, select a green that has more blue in it as that of teal or turquoise. (To find your nature element, contact lifespacedesigns@yahoo.com and "Ask Lifespace").

It is also important to consider the amount of natural lighting in the room. Cool colors can create a sense of coldness; so if your room is positioned in the north direction, adding a predominance of cool colors can create an uncomfortable and less intimate ambience. Tranquility in a room with a northern exposure is best achieved by introducing a minimal of accessories in cool hues.

Thoughtfully appoint colors throughout your lifespace. You'll find a peaceful and calming color scheme quiets the mind and soothes the soul.
