"It's Not Just About Being Loud" — 5 Positive Colors Design Experts Say Give Us All the (Good) Feels

Yellow kitchen cabinets with white marble counter, different pendant lights hanging overhead, a freestanding oven with chopping boards leaning against the white tile backsplash.

Throughout our homes most of us will have particular rooms earmarked as spaces we go when we want to feel a certain way. It might be that your bedroom soothes an overstimulated mind, your living room energizes you, or your home office gives you a productivity boost. Whether you realize it or not, those feelings may be heavily influenced by the use of positive colors in the space.

And these aren't just colors you'd use in rooms traditionally considered to be energy hotspots, such as home offices and gyms — these shades also work well in bedrooms and bathrooms, helping ensure you start your day out on a good note. In dining rooms, positive colors can spark lively conversations, and in living spaces, they make coming together with friends and family more enjoyable.
