Our home is a defining factor in our well-being. It’s our reset zone. It’s where we find the daily strength to be our best selves. So it naturally follows that we should put thought and attention into building a home that makes us feel good. So, in partnership with Sherwin-Williams®, we’re tapping into color psychology to transform four rooms that will directly inspire specific moods. Want to feel calm? There’s a color for that. Want to feel luxurious? There’s a color for that.
Purple Color Psychology: Famously associated with royalty, purple has a lush history. Experts say it evokes feelings of luxury, quality, and mystery. We think of queens draped in velvet; mystifying galaxies; rich, ripe fruit; and vivid nighttime neon. What better place to feel lavish than in your bedroom? :)
First, a sneak peek at the completed room…
Behold! A luxurious, modern room fit for a contemporary queen.
So, let’s get to it!
Mood Board
How fun are these final colors together? Wait ‘til you see them come to life.
We wanted our purple to pack a punch in our space without making the room feel smaller. So, using Sherwin-Williams® Emerald® Interior Paint, we framed the bed with Passionate Purple SW 6981, including a few feet of the ceiling above, to echo a luxurious royal bed canopy. We outlined it in Lighthearted Pink SW 6568 for a subtle transition to the clean, soft High Reflective White SW 7757. The resulting room has a nice balance of light and deep shades, topped with plush textiles on every surface.
Again, it is SO cool to see our mood board directly inspire room decor. We have a new favorite hobby.
BRB, never leaving this room ever again.
