Beat the Winter Blues with Bright Colors

Are the ice, cold weather, and grey skies bringing you down this winter season? Well, there is one way you can lift your spirits, and that is by adding a fresh coat of brightly colored paint to the walls in one of the rooms in your home. 

While it is freezing outside, you can take comfort in knowing that you will be surrounded by warmth once you step inside your vibrant house.

Bold Oranges

Powerful and bright shades of orange can emulate the warm light that fills the sky at sunrise and sunset. It can also give you thoughts of a tropical environment that has oranges growing in abundance.

Bold oranges bring warmth to your home so that while the outdoors might be frigid, you will be completely unaware of this fact as you bask in the orange glow of one of the rooms in your house.

Marigold Yellow

This gorgeous shade of yellow can bring about thoughts of the flower it is named after, but it can also inspire thoughts of flowers in general. 

You can look forward to spring while you are surrounded by a feeling of the livelier seasons in your home. 

This shade is bright, but not overly so. Thus, it is easy on the eyes while providing some cheer-inducing vibrancy as well.

Bright Greens

What better way to feel like you are surrounded by the lush foliage of warmer months than by coating the walls of your home in a shade of vibrant green? 

You can imagine yourself to be transported to the green forests or the bright, grassy fields of summer that call for you to run through them barefoot.

A bright green hue is wonderful with some golden accents, which can bring extra brightness to your house while the flurries are flying outside.

Sea-Inspired Blues

You can channel thoughts of warm ocean breezes and seagulls circling above you with vibrant blues that mimic the colors of the sea.

You can opt for a lighter, bright blue and add decor to the mix that brings about visions of sandy beaches, coral, and seashells.

Make your home a beachy oasis that you can escape to when the conditions outside of your home are harsh and cold.

Sunny Yellow

You can cover your walls in the brightest sun yellow to bring the summer heat into your home. Although this shade might be too bright for you to want to coat an entire room with it, it is a great option for an accent wall.

Try out some other summer-inspired shades with bright yellows, such as light blues. You are sure to forget it is winter when your eyes are filled with the vibrant colors in your house.

Vibrant Reds

You can keep your eyes busy and warm with a bright shade of red in your home. Vibrant reds are perfect for use as accents that pop among other, subtler hues.

By using reds in your house, you can be reminded of red roses that thrive in the warmth and summer berries that grow aplenty.
