Most people would be surprised to hear of the importance the walls within their home play on their general mood. The fact is that the appearance of your living environment is crucial in determining how you feel and act throughout the day. When you are at work the people who surround you and the aesthetics of the office all play a part in your enjoyment levels so the home should be no different. If you are forced to start at nauseating colour schemes during a working day you would complain to your manager so why excuse these aspects in your own living space. Choosing wallpapers instead of paint is always a smart idea for covering over worn out walls and opens up a variety of choices in terms of style, theme and colours. Here is how these three factors can influence you mood:
Style: There a number of designs to choose from when it comes to wallpaper. A classic design is the floral pattern which can be nice to look at but may be seen as a bit outdated in modern society. We must remember this is all about individual tastes so there is no right or wrong answer per say. Certain styles may appeal to you as opposed to others. If you are looking for a fresh look then there are plenty of contemporary, urban and chic patterns available. You may also fancy a bit of nostalgia in terms of past cultural times which is where vintage and retro designs can come in.
Theme: Some people may opt for the plain and simple clean look with no lines or drawings on the wallpaper which is perfectly fine. This conveys an uncluttered environment which can clear your mind. However, there is an endless array of themes to choose from which can help promote happiness and joy to relieve stress. Examples are of unorthodox floral patterns, intricate wavy lines coming together, contemporary checker imagery, straight lines, vertical lines, animals, wildlife, environment, and even hand drawn pictures of sceneries or people. All of these have their own significance in terms of how you will interact with your living space. You should take time to decide what it is you enjoy in life and what makes you happiest.
Colours: This is the one thing we will arguable notice most as it is what catches the eye first upon entry to a room. Dark colours should generally be avoided so as to not add to any existing anxieties. Light blue and white are very clean colours which open the mind and have a calming effect. Green, yellow and orange are earthy tones which evoke images of nature that can make a room appear non-claustrophobic as there is an element of outdoors within. Light red, purple and pink are romantic and lovingly tones that could be ideal for a couple living together but could also have a negative impact on any male members of the house who might see it as feminine.
