Did you know that color, shapes, and light evoke different emotions?  If you know a few simple design tricks, you can make any space feel happier.  Here are 4 design elements that will evoke a happy mood in your home.  

1.      Yellow
Yellow is a very cheerful color.  Use yellow accessories to create a happy mood in a room, or for a more dramatic shift in atmosphere, paint the walls and ceiling.

2.      Red
The color red increases blood flow, speeds up metabolism, and boosts brain functioning.  Add splashes of red in a room to improve a sluggish environment. 

3.      Circles
Curved shapes connote comfort and nurturing.  You don’t want everything in a room to be circular (that could make you dizzy!), but you can cheer up a space just by adding a few curves.

4.      Sunlight
Natural sunlight is one of the best mood elevators.  If your space feels gloomy, you will notice a lively boost by simply opening blinds and pulling back draperies.  And while you’re at the window, open up and let some fresh air in!

Just a few easy changes can make a big difference.  Here’s to your happy home!
