Color therapy doesn't get the attention it deserves, but it's one of our favorite topics around here.
Did you know, the flow of colors throughout the room can impact your mood?
Blues and greens along with earth tones can have a positive impact on your well being.
Why cool greens/blues help
They lean the nervous system toward “exhale” mode and reduce visual noise - especially in matte finishes and soft contrasts. Teal is really in a leage of its own.

FAQs
Won’t dark teal make it moody?
Use it on one piece + light walls; matte finish calms glare. Sometimes moody can be cozy.
Mix palettes?
Limit to 3 colors per space for calm, but feel free to add a splash of your favorite shade throughout the room for a little dopamine boost.
