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 that the best look would be a pale yellow wallpaper and dark purple or midnight blue furniture. Yellow and purple are complementary colors, so that would look the best. It should make a great compromise between you and Elwin.
Paint it… BLUE!

add me caitlyn18 on webkinz

I think that a medium redish-orangish color would look like a cool room color for parties and crafts that is all I have to say about that
I think they should have a nice light blue with purple spots on it (: P.S. on webkinz world friend me i am y9gjw7hp
You could paint the room 2 different colors, but have dividers between the room. Then when Elwin throws parties, you could push the dividers over to cover your crafting stuff so it doesn’t get ruined. Or you could paint the walls green or orange, a compromise between red/yellow blue/yellow. Or you could use the popstar wallpaper, which is cheery AND dramatic!
i think a light or dark orange will work well its a mix of light and dark!!!
I think a medium color would look the best something like a sea green or light blue or lavender
You should make part of the room dark and part of the room light.
I don’t really think colors change mood very much, well maby black and gray
