New Beginnings

How you spend your morning can affect the rest of your day. So invent a fresh environment that promotes getting your day started on the right foot.

Enhance your bathroom with light green, like Hidden Sea Glass, a refreshing color that offers a sense of renewal. It represents equilibrium – a calm emotional state…the way you wish you could feel at the crack of dawn.

Earthy greens, like Afternoon Shade, are considered the most restful colors on the eye. Created by mixing cool blue and warm yellow to arrive at a unique balance, green is the only color to which your eye does not need to adjust. So it won’t jolt you awake in the morning, but rather ease you into your day.

In theaters, actors relax in the “green room” before going on stage. Coincidence? Not at all. Because of leafy green’s calming effect, preparing for your day in a green bathroom can help relieve your nerves before that big meeting.

Inherently rational and supportive, green is not conducive to argument or conflict. So non-confrontational green can be an ideal color choice for shared baths – no more fighting for sink time.

Energizing and uplifting like sunshine, lighter shades of yellow, such as Delightful Daffodil, can be especially appreciated when seen first thing in the morning. Known to be mentally stimulating, yellow is a wake-up color that can be a terrific option for those who need a little help getting going in the morning.

Lavender/blue has been known to bolster self-esteem. So get ready for your day with a color like Mountain Forget-Me-Not and you’re bound to feel good about your appearance.

If you want to ensure your day gets started right, incorporate one of these colors into your bathroom and see how it can elevate your morning routine… and most likely, how you go about your entire day.
