We have always believed that your home should be a place of refuge.\u00a0 When you walk into your home at the end of a long day, you shouldn\u2019t feel overwhelmed, uncomfortable, or overstimulated. Instead, you should feel calm and like your home is inviting you to take a deep breath, seamlessly easing you into relaxation.\u00a0 To fulfill this vision, you need the right color palette<\/a>. That\u2019s why this week, we\u2019re offering a guide to calming colors to help you relax. Violet is often considered the color of luxury but has also been associated with human spirituality and creativity throughout history. So, color psychology says that violet shades can relax you into a state of creative flow and awaken your intuition. When you ask around for people\u2019s favorite colors, you\u2019re bound to find that at least every third answer is \u201cblue\u201d. Green absolutely surpasses blue in its association with the natural world. Because of this association, green is often thought to represent tranquility, good luck, and good health. Teal is a gorgeous mix of green and blue \u2013 the two nature colors. Combining the two calming aspects of green and blue, teal is a unique color and represents the more unconventional side of those nature vibes. The color pink is often used to represent compassion, nurturing, and love. Many say they associate it with unconditional love and understanding. With those feelings in mind, pink is a great calming color to help you relax. Gray is a neutral that is has more depth than its often given credit for. Deep grays are for those who know how to work hard, and who find that getting deep into a project, book, or hobby is their perfect recipe for zen. Vincent Van Gogh said \u201cHow wonderful yellow is. It stands for the sun.\u201d We agree.
