Elwin and I have been debating what color we should paint our new rec room and that got us thinking about the effects you can create using color in your décor. Elwin is convinced that we should go with bold, dark tones for our space. He likes to throw elaborate parties for our friends and he feels that a deep scarlet or midnight blue would make a dramatic backdrop to his little soirees.
While I agree that WOULD make for exciting parties, I plan to use our rec room a lot and I wonder if such dark shades would feel too heavy for me to be around all the time. I plan to use the room for crafting and reading and if I had to sit in a dark room every day I think that would bring down my mood. I suggested that we go with a light color, like a pretty yellow. I think that would make me feel happy – like the sun was shining down on me.
I think Elwin and I will have to find some sort of compromise. Maybe we could use different shades of the same color to get the effect we’re both looking for. If we painted the walls a soft blue, but added furniture and accessories in a dark color that could give Elwin the drama he’s looking for and still let me feel like I’m in a more open space.
What do you think? Do you ever notice that the colors and tones around you have an effect on your mood?
I think a nice cerulean would do the trick. It’s bold, but it’s also cheery. If you put plenty of windows in the room, it will provide natural light and the brightness you want, and at an evening party there would be twinkling stars outside… :)
i think the room should feel dark it looks really cool OR horizontal stripes of two different colors in different shades

i totally agree with 4321uyt
I think you should go with a nice red because red always was sometimes a dark color but it seems nice, bright and cheery because of Christmas time and it reminds you of warm cinnamon. :D
you should do a lagoon blue for both of your ideas
I think they should do a rainbow room that way some things are light, and some are dark. that would be so cool. my idea is dark colors for the walls, light for the floor, and a mix of dark and light in furniture. that would be so cool.

I think you should go for colors that are colorful, but cool and classic. Try lime green (bright) with mocha brown and cream. This gives it a chic and cool party feel, but still bright.
