COLOR PSYCHOLOGY: Always ask the question when designing any space. “How do I want to feel in my space?” Decide your desired emotion and choose accordingly using the guide below. You will never go wrong. Although, most of us usually must share that space with someone else, simply look for the most similar desired emotions, then compromise by adding elements of each to create a cohesive space you’ll both love to be in.
