Color Your World

A feeling of new beginnings is in the air this Spring as our world outside takes on color. Think of how you feel when you see green grass and the pop of color from flowers blooming. Now take that feeling and apply it to how you would feel if you were to freshen up your living spaces by adding new color to the world inside your home.     

Change how you feel at home simply by changing the color that surrounds you. If you need more peace and calm in your life look toward soft and soothing colors.  Want to spice things up? Go more bold in color. There is nothing that makes a bigger impact on a room than merely changing the wall color. Simple, fresh, and economical. 

Sherwin-Williams says it well: "Hard times call for soft colors" When the world around us is out of control, you can gain control at home by decorating your living spaces with gentle colors. Bringing pastels and parchment-pale neutrals back into your decor will nurture the sense of calm and relaxation. The new pastels offered by Sherwin Williams like Chivalry Copper, Sand Dune, and Breaktime are referred to as being subdued without being shy, and delicate without being sweet. Nice colors that are nostalgic but also thoroughly modern. 

If a refined look is in order for a sophisticated home, Sherwin-Williams suggests that luxury doesn't shout its presence but whispers through clean and classic lines of color offered by Bracing Blue, Svelte Sage, Empire Gold, and Light French Gray. Perfect for transitional spaces that lean toward clean lines and tailored furnishings. 

For those who are experimental, artsy, and expressive, a bold statement of high-energy hues such has Habanero Chili, Parakeet, Synergy, and Pempo Teal are great colors to consider. A bit risque, but demonstrates confidence and self-expression which is the new metropolitan mantra.   

Color is personal. We each react to color differently and color reacts differently in each home depending on light. The light either enhances color or detracts from its beauty. A bit of advice - TRY before you buy. When selecting your new color pallet, it is suggested that you take sample colors home to see them in your living spaces during the different lights of the day. Gold tones that are perfect during the day often go green at night. The perfect white under the Sherwin-Williams light can go pink in your light. Sherwin-Williams now offers economical custom color sample-sizes for goof-proof selection.  

Color your world and create your own personal sanctuary that remains calm, cool, and collected regardless of what goes on in the outside world!
