My rented apartment follows the key rules of color psychology – here's why I'd never go back to an all-white home

Yellow wall in kitchen with shelving and eclectic decor with burgundy cabinets, green room with shelving unit, pink living room with houseplant and pendant light.

Earlier this year, I moved into a new apartment, and unlike the all too often white-washed spaces upon which renters seek to imprint their personality, it embraces a range of colorful hues.

While the paint ideas that range from the yellow kitchen to the plaster pink living room make for stylish room color ideas, it wasn't until recently, when I wrote about colors to decorate with depending on the mood you want to create, that I discovered many of the rooms follow the rules of color psychology.
