Why do people paint their rooms in such depressing colors?
Bright, bold colors and funky decorations really help you to keep smiling when you are at home. I know that some people would hate to have that in their house, but for those people who are just using neutral colors because they think they have to follow the current trends, then I think they dampen your mood. Instead of using those plain colors I like to highlight areas in the room either with bright wallpaper or paint, or even better a bright piece of furniture to change how the room feels.
For example you could buy a bright green tub chair to put in the corner of your room which will help to highlight that corner and make the room feel bigger, or you could have a colorful rug on the floor. Color really affects our moods, even without us realizing it, so while these may seem like small changes, they have a big effect, imagine coming home after a hard day at work and sinking into that chair, you can’t help but smile as you do it.
It doesn’t have to be anything large though, you can get a nice effect with smaller things like a nice painting on the wall using lots of rich colors, or even having electrical equipment like a set of pink speakers will enable you to brighten up part of the room. If you do want to get a painting then you can get some bargains on eBay, not only can you get real oil paintings people have imported in from places like China, but you can get canvas prints. Canvas prints are great and I have one in my room at the moment, they take a real canvas, print a picture on it using a big machine, then they stretch it over a wooden frame just like a real painting, so as they are printed that means they are really cheap!
