A Colorful Mood

Move over mood rings, this is really how colors correlate with moods.

Trendy Colors and their Effect on Our Mood

The colors we surround ourselves with can greatly affect our moods, so it’s important to think about what mood you want to cultivate in your home before deciding on your wall finishes. Here’s a deep dive into some of 2023’s most popular colors for home interior and how having them in your home can impact your day-to-day mood.

Greige

Greige has recently dethroned Gray as the most popular neutral color. Many people see this as a massive upgrade. Greige is like gray with a soul, a little warmer, it keeps the calmness of gray while adding a touch of the earthiness of tan or beige.

Dark Blue

Dark Blues like Navy and Sapphire can cultivate a sense of stability. Blue is a very calming color, promoting relaxation and hospitality. Dark blue can also be considered a very formal color, as it could be viewed as intellectual or militaristic, so it is best when complimented with a more playful accent color.

Terracotta

A mix of orange and brown, terracotta combines the playfulness of orange with the calming qualities of earth tones. Terracotta can add a natural warmth to your home, and can be a great base color for a bright and eclectic space. It’s a richer, more welcoming alternative to neutrals like gray and beige (or even greige).

Deep Yellows

Yellow is a very energetic color, and also very versatile. Deeper yellows, like gold and mustard, are having their moment right now. These darker hues are considered more intellectual than their lighter counterparts, and they have the same richening effects as cooler jewel tones.
