Over the last few years, it seemed like homeowners were getting rid of color in favor of the more minimalistic, muted tones of gray and white. If you're in the market for a Klamath Falls home for sale and neutrals aren't your thing, here's how you can choose interior color schemes you'll love for years to come.

Color Therapy: Find Inspiration for Your Color Scheme

So, let's talk a bit about color theory and interiors. A space's color can dramatically affect your mood, feelings, and emotions. That's why you feel calm and relaxed in a blue room and somewhat anxious in an orange room. The human mind tends to associate red and yellow-hued oranges with emergencies and blue with comforting waves. As such, it's important to ensure the colors you choose reflect the mood you want to evoke in that room.

1. Raise a Room's Energy Level With a Red Accent Wall
   Painting an entire room red can be overwhelming and anxiety-inducing. That said, a red accent wall in the dining or living room can elevate your space. Same case if you have a small entryway. Red is really the most intense color there is overall. In the living room, it can evoke excitement and create an atmosphere of enthusiasm, which is exactly the atmosphere you crave after work when you want to catch up with your kids.
   
   
2. Capture the Joy of Sunshine With Yellow
   You can't go wrong with yellow in practically any room. It communicates happiness and works just as well in bathrooms as it does in nurseries. Most people associate yellow with warmth and joy. It's a color that infuses optimism, which is why it'll never go out of style.
   
   
3. Relax With Soothing Greens and Blues
   There's something about the colors that are reminiscent of the earth's natural beauty. They create a meditative effect that can transform your house into a sanctuary. Blue has always been calming, making you feel like you're by the water. Green, on the other hand, can be just as refreshing as spring. Filling your house with plants can also similarly impact your mood. These restful colors work best in bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens, helping with stress and anxiety relief.
   
   
4. Add an Air of Sophistication to Any Room With Dark Purples
   Purple is rich and exquisite. Hence, its association with royalty and regalness. It can also add a great deal of warmth and drama, but it's not a color that can work in just any room. Bedrooms or living rooms are best.
