Does Color really matter?

Is it true?  Do colors really affect how you FEEL in a room?  Here are a few mood boards I created to help us answer the question.  Please vote on your favorite color.How does this image make you feel? Most greens have a calming effect.  This green, however has a vibrant energy to it and would need to be grounded with some warm browns, creams, or neutral beiges to give it a more calming appeal.  Imagine the wall painted latte’ or hazelnut….mmmm

If you want to liven up a space, Orange is a nice vibrant hue that pops with so much personality.  I love this color; it’s so much fun! How does it make you feel?  Would you choose this color in your home?

Are you lovin the blue?  This is such a popular color to decorate with. Like the greens this color tends to emote a sense of relaxation and calm.

Plums are romantic,regal and sophisticated.  I think this is a great hue for a bedroom.  Imagine lush sheets,throws and pillows!

How about black; the color known to be sophisticated, dramatic and mysterious.  How does this color make you feel?

Remember, inexpensive chic and I are collaborating this month, showing you how fashion and interior design intersect.  Click this link to get my daughter’s  take on wearing “white”.   inexpensivechic.com

Decorating with white lends itself to a room that feels clean, fresh, open and airy.  It can also appear elegant and sophisticated yet also a bit sterile.  What’s your take?  I think white rooms look amazing, but for me quite impractical.  I can just envision myself (clumsy) spilling red wine on the white sofa and wanting to scream!

So what do you think?  Do you agree?  Does color really matter? I believe it’s important to choose color well.  It really can make a difference in your room and how comfortable or uncomfortable you feel in it.

I’m counting on you to vote on your favorite.  🙂

    I vote for plum or orange. Plum is more sophisticated, while orange is definitely a vibrant color. Both can be a great addition to a room!
