Here’s a question: how do you want your home to feel? For a lot of us, we want to enter a room and feel like we’ve shed all the worries and stress of the day. Color can help with that especially if there’s a lot of it such as when it’s the paint on your walls.
Why Choose Calming Colors for the Home
Think of color as a tool. When we use it purposefully and mindfully, it allows us to create a home that benefits us—not one that adds to our stress.
“It is important for our homes to be filled with the colors that help us to express the particular moods that will be most comforting and uplifting,” says Letrice Eiseman, international color specialist and director of the Eisman Center for Color Information, to Homes & Gardens.
Moreover, explains color therapist Lee Chambers, “One thing we have a level of autonomy over is the colors we choose to place in our domestic environments, and by curating the palette of our property, we are able to influence how we feel in a positive and proactive way.”
Make good use of color. Don’t waste your choice. Choose a wall color that will not only enhance and beautify your home but can even be good for you too. To narrow down your options, we’ve picked a few calming Boysen Permacoat Latex colors for you. Check them out below.
Boysen Calming Paint Colors
Grassy Glade BCP-0433
Among the subtlest of greens is Grassy Glade, able to bring an effortless light and easy mood to a room. Colors from nature, particularly cool colors like green and blue, often feel a lot more calming. Plus, a toned-down green works wonderfully in a space with wooden finishes, whether light or dark wood.
Chapel Wall BCP-0009
For fans of the minimalist and Japandi interior design styles, try an off-white or cream shade instead of stark white. Where white can seem too uptight and clinical, off-white and cream are cozier and warmer, creating a more inviting space for unwinding. Consider Chapel Wall.
Serene Setting BCP-0622
No one can argue blue isn’t relaxing. Go for a blue that will remind you of slow days with cloudy skies. Serene Setting is a light blue perfect for the bedroom or bathroom. Pair it with white if you want a clean, classic aesthetic or with warmer pops of color to add interest and balance.
Pink Coral BCP-0083
Pink is said to foster a sense of ease and lower aggression. In delicate blush hue shades, like Pink Coral, it also feels serene and gives off an air of elegance and sophistication. Paint it anywhere in the home you see fit, not just for girls’ bedrooms.
