While you might associate bright summer colors with children’s rooms or craft rooms, don’t rule out their use in other spaces, such as home offices or walk-in closets. Using summer hues in these places can boost your mood or even help you de-stress—all year long.

Blue and Green

Reminiscent of the ocean or a serene lake shaded by trees, shades of blue and green are invigorating and calming all at once. You might associate these colors with a gorgeous day at the beach, a walk in the woods, or even a fun afternoon in the park.
