Sad Beige Rooms

by Haley Simpson

I have three sets of white sheets. They accompany white bedding, a beige nightstand, tan curtains, and various neutrally colored trinkets. It seems boring in a maximalist trending world, but there’s a bit of science to my sad beige room. Color and colorful lights are proven to aid our physical and mental health. We are affected by the visual world around us, including the colors. My beige room is actually my tool. It soothes me at the end of a stressful day. It calms my mind and brings the business to a slow. The low stimulation in my room is my haven. This theory applies beyond a bedroom. Wearing different colors may also aid your mood. Our brain positively or negatively responds to different colors or lack thereof and what they are associated with.
