Choosing colors for your home is a big task that will not only affect how your space comes together, but can also affect your mood. Choosing a good color scheme helps the room flow better and create a cohesive look but, if done correctly, your furniture and paint colors can elicit different emotions. Colors that impact your emotions can help guests and those who live in your home to feel relaxed and peaceful or it can spread feelings of uneasiness or fear. 

Choosing furniture pieces should include a balance of personality, functionality and mood. Colors mixed together may have different moods than if they were on their own. Here are some colors that can bring out some good emotions and how color affects us. 

Color And Psychology

For centuries, colors have had meaning and been used to show different emotions and power. Purple is often seen as regal, black shows somberderity and green gives off calming senses. 

Communicating with color can evoke emotions, inspire reactions and change the way we think. You can lower or increase mood with color, excite people, lower blood pressure and even elicit an appetite. Color rules our world and once you learn enough about it, you can use it in your favor. 

1-Soothing Green

The color green connects us with nature and the world around us. It can symbolize growth, connection and harmony, which makes it a good option for your home in a gathering space. Because green is more soothing, it can be used in small quantities or large quantities. 

Using green for your furniture can make your guest feel more relaxed and comfortable. Some options for green furniture could be a green painted coffee table, or velvet green sitting chairs. Green can also be brought out with faux plants to decorate your area instead of adding to may colors that impact your emotions.

2-Serine Blue

Blue is probably not the first color you think of when it comes to furniture. But blue has some amazing emotions attached to it such as serenity and inner reflection. This is also a unique color choice for any space and can be trendy or more subtle. 

Blue gives off emotions or peace, flexibility and imagination. A dark blue can be a great choice for cabinets or pops in a rug. Other ideas could include a clock, picture frames, art or a simple desk. 

3-Neutral And Wood

Browns are often associated with age or parental comfort. Using neutrals in your home gives you the options of many shades of woods or beige. Brown also gives off the traits of reliability, dependability and resilience. Wooden furniture can give your home a more secure feel and make the space feel more mature. 

Sugar House Furniture specializes in wood furniture and wants our customers to see just how much a structured wood piece can do for their home. Whether it’s a vanity, bookshelf, dining table or rocking chair, we can add some honesty and predictability to your home. 

4-Classic Black And White

White is associated with purity and innocence and brings a lighter feel to a person or space, whereas black is very versatile and holds lots of meaning. Black can be seen as elegant or fearful and in certain contexts can also be seen as negative. 

Mixing these two opposite colors that impact together creates a dynamic vision in your home, while also being more timeless than other bold colors. Black and white furniture is common in homes that want to seem more classy. Modern and luxury homes rely heavily on these colors for furniture and fixtures, as not to detract from the craftsmanship of the home. 

5-Powerful Red

Red is a strong color, so even just adding some accents can make a difference. Red is seen often with holidays and food because it gives emotions of energy, desire, passion and strength. Colors that impact your strong emotions like red, could get overwhelming, but using an accent rug, cherry wood furniture or red pops in textiles could bring a romantic and strong presence to your bedroom or living room.

Bright colors are the pinnacle of summer. There are many options for including more pops of color to your home or patio. 

Bright pink, orange, yellow and blue can attract the eyes of your guests and bring more life to your space.

Color helps to heighten chemicals in our brain that make us happy, so color will help to bring more serotonin all year long. 

Boho Textiles

The boho style is very trendy right now, and offers a unique touch to your home. Boho style can feel very earthy, which is perfect to tie in the weather and nature for summer. Boho textiles can come in bright colors and designs such as aztec prints, zig zag lines, tassels and solid color stripes. 

You can get even more creative by mixing different textures and types of textures to help pull from more than just one style. Boho also gives a sense of comfort and will be inviting for your guests and family. 

Warm Hanging Lighting

This furniture piece or design element is a little more of an accessory than a furniture piece. But hanging lights can be a great way to add some soft and moody lighting to your space and make it feel more inviting. Outdoor patios can really benefit from this lighting, making it feel more fancy than by using a fire pit or house lighting. 

Hanging lights come in many different shapes and can be small or big. Mix sizes and designs to add your personality to your design. Hanging lights can dangle against the side of your house, or drape across from pole to pole inviting more light across the whole outdoor area. 

Hanging lights can also be included in your kitchen or bathroom. Having a lower hanging light fixture can draw your eye to the center of your space and bring out your personality by choosing a very intricate light. 

Inviting Wooden Furniture

Summer time calls for lots of relaxing and outdoor furniture. But you can include wooden furniture outdoors or indoors! Simple wooden furniture can bring a sense of connection to the outdoors and is perfect to tie in to man made elements in your space. The more simple, the better, to keep the furniture from distracting from the other parts of your home. 

Wooden chairs or rockers can be a simple addition that brings a sense of warmth and comfort for your family and guests. At Sugar House, wooden furniture is our specialty! We offer wood furnishings for your dining room, living room, office and more. 

Low Outdoor Picnic Table

Your summer picnics can get a major upgrade with a low picnic table. These tables could be used with chairs, or benches or used while sitting on the grass. Having a flat surface for a picnic gives you more freedom on what you can set out, gives space for decoration and an inviting place for friends and family to eat. 

This can also be a great option for kids making it easier to eat, get down from the table and have their own space that is more fit for their size.
