How Do You Choose A Therapeutic Home Color Scheme?

After choosing a room’s purpose, select colors corresponding with the activities in the room to support a desired mood. Pick cool colors to promote tranquility in bedrooms and spa areas. Cool colors are called receding colors because they make a room feel spacious. Greens, blues and violets are cool colors associated with mental and physical relaxation.
