It is more important to choose a theme that reflects your overall personality and interests than to go with the latest decorating trend just for being in the race. Trends keep regularly changing and it is prudent to choose a particular theme and color scheme that you are more comfortable with.

Talking of colors, those wishing to create a stimulating and cheerful mood may choose a bold and bright color scheme. Bright colors like yellow and orange are certainly optimistic and cheery. Red suggests boldness and is often associated with dynamic action. Light blues, pale greens and lavenders are natural tranquilizers and are perfect for a room meant to be serene and sedate. Browns and earthy tones are a good mixture of sobriety and joy. Blue has a calming effect and is said to prevent nightmares and also suppress hunger because blue colored foods are scarce. Green is the cool color of nature and creates a vibrancy of life. Purple creates a creative mood, but excessive purple can be self-defeating.

Psychologists say that the use of color makes an impact on your energy levels and your temperament and your activities. So, before you paint every room in your home with your favorite color, identify the mood you would like each room to reflect. Neutral colors like white, brown, gray and cream create a mood of stability and practicality. These colors are often used for providing a balancing effect for some of the brighter and bolder colors. Never fail to balance the color throughout your home.

Traditional decor is never out of style particularly for bedrooms but you can afford to be imaginative and take some risk if your spouse wants it. Elaborate floral arrangements, colorful embroidered pillows and deep, rich bed covers and curtain hangings help capture a comfortable mood.
