To Get You Going Again, You Need...

I so totally agree about how bright, cheerful colors can lift up our moods. I've seen photos of rooms painted black and DOES have a very "dramatic" effect but in my mind way too gloomy...In my bedroom I have two walls painted a beautiful shade of turquoise blue and the adjacent walls painted in a light violet color, my kitchen is a bright sunny yellow, my living room is two toned also, aqua and white. I'm getting the "itch" to paint up my apt again, as it's been maybe 7 years or so. LOL--now to figure out what color(s) to go for

I agree with you...I love bright colors and they do cheer me up. My favorite room in my house is the bedroom. I have a bedspread that is hot pink, black and white floral. The sheets I have on right now are hot pink, and the pillows cases are hot pink, bright orange and lime green. I'm still looking for some aqua or turquoise to throw in.....sounds crazy but it's really pretty to look at. If I could get a purple couch, I would, or an aqua one like the one on Big Bang Theory in Penney's apartment....if you know who they are. I also buy myself a bouquet of flowers when I'm shopping, especially in the wintertime and split them up so I have them in different rooms. It does brighten my day and keeps me remembering spring will be here soon enough. I don't mind darker colors but they're not my favorites. I do like dark purple and teal, plus dark red. Gee, what would we do without all the colors in the world..it would be so dull.

I love bright colors Nope I coouldnt stayy in your sisters room long either dark colors just dont get it and I like colors that really dont match but end up looking good together like my roo m I have turquoise walls and a royal purple carpet ANd purple curtains to me looks good lololol

I'm going mushy. Just being with my guy cheers me up. I never was effected by bright colors. I prefer dark colors to wear and light and neutral colors on the wall.But I did go through the red phrase .I had a red carpet, red drapes and red bedspread when I was young.

i guess my faith in God keeps me getting up in the morning but i am also a very visual person too so bright colors are good for me too. i wear them all year round but what really gets me going is music. although i am not a musician, i know several and i always love when they jam. i have a few favourite radio stations and of course, there is music on my ipod (its an old one but still does the trick) and i have music on my tablet too and there is always youtube as well.

I tend to get headaches from bright colors, go to sleep with darker colors. I get going when I hear music, that is what really helps me.

I am a color person as well. Not always pastels, but more often jewel tones or brights. I also find that fresh air and sunshine lift my spirits and so does getting to swim, inside or out, pool or lake.

Bright colors for me too. I always dressed up in my favorite bright colors of red, blue, yellow or green where I would feel refresh and lively. I don't like mono or earth tone colors much so you can imagine my wardrobe. Just opening it already makes me happy. As for interior decorations, I like them in light colors than dark toned to make the rooms appear spacious. My children's room are in pink and apple green light colors as well.

beautiful. love it. what brightens my mood is often funny shows or music thats happy. but lovely pics like this can help to.

That is so true. The color around us can greatly affect our disposition. So it is really advisable to have bright, live color inside the home.

hi dear Ambie, when my spirits are down its usually cause of work and/or I am tired. So the best I can do is take some rest and sleep it off the following weekend. Thats what I tell myself, the next weekend will come soon God willing so then I can recharge batteries. My little bedroom is decorated with light blue wallpaper and I love this a lot.

I believe colors and vibrant colors can make one feel energized. I've seen a house with deep, dark green curtains for the living room and I think I like it. I like the effect of a theater or movie house a little dim and it seems relaxing. However, I have many home decors that are vibrant reds and neon colors and it add accents to the whole house.

Colors do reflect our mood or say mood affects our color choices. At one point of time I had a craze for blue color. It was mainly because I was in a Sapphire house in school and so I would like to have everything blue around me whether it would be pens, pencils, notepads, letter writing pads, dairies etc, etc. I would never let blue color out of my wardrobe. Given a choice I would have chosen blue color for my bedroom too. Now I don't have any special color taste. I like all the colors and keep experimenting with them.

I love green. It is calming in the eye. If I get the chance in the future, I will choose color green and white as my motif and decorations in my house. A nature type will do for me to be relax inside my house.

I enjoy bright colors too ,and every room in my house has a different bright color such as blue, yellow, orange, peach etc. Everyone who comes inside my house tells me that they feel the positive energy.

You are so right....color has alot to do with our moods. I am not bragging but I sell alot of my cards....one lady told me she buys so many because they are bright and cheerful.....I have a friend who also makes cards..and she uses basically black and a cream color......they all look the same...and old fashioned....never very bright. My mood also lifts with bright colors....my bathroom is yellow....its the first room of the day that I spend alot of time in getting ready for work....it's cheerful!

Hmm.. I like deep, dark colors better.. especially blues. Upbeat music is what lifts my spirits when I'm down.

I thin that brightly coloured flowers make me feel good and beautiful birds too. I do like bright colours but where I live someone has painted their house two different shades of the brightest purple/ lavendar you could imagine and it is horrible. Another house has been painted a horrible bright lime green. I like shades of blue to be honest

Yes, bright colors will do that. Also good ole upbeat music. I love making afghans with as many different colors that I can. I like the way I want to keep working on it because it is so colorful and cheerful. Course, I have to have that music going too.

Yes, I love bright colors and I believe they have a lot of positive influence in us . It cheers me up most of the time .
