A simple, fresh wall paint coat makes a huge difference in the way you feel and influences how you think and thus impacts your creativity which makes you a successful entrepreneur. So let’s look at how do different colors change our perception.

General information

Warm Vs Cool Colors

Paper clipDid you know that colors change our perception of temperature? Warmer colors make us feel warmer and cooler colors make us feel colder. For instance, if you live in an area with low temperature, I advise you to pick a warmer color such as Red, Orange, Yellow. These will make you feel warmer. Other colors such as blue, green or light purple will have the opposite effect.

More Creativity

The color of nature, Green, is associated with more creativity. In an experiment done in a study published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, two groups were given a tin and were asked to come up with as many uses as possible for that tin. However, before starting the experiment, one group was given a white rectangle to look at and the other a green one. After finishing the experiment, the group who were given the green rectangle came up with more creative ideas than the other group. So, the next time you want to come up with brilliant ideas, try to get exposed to the green color, as it suggests more growth and innovation.

Less Analytical Thinking

Have you got an important task to accomplish, do you need to be totally focused? Then avoid the Red color!
Research conducted by a professor of psychology Andrew Elliot suggests that athletes often lose more when competing with opponents wearing red, and when students are exposed to red, their scores decrease.
So, if you need to stay focused on a task, red is not your color.

When in doubt, go Blue

The most worldwide accepted color is blue. This goes back to our ancestors, as they look up and see a clear blue sky made them feel assured and relaxed. In businesses, blue can be used in sciences, medicine, energy, high-tech, health care…

So, if you want to feel relaxed, stable and confident, go blue

folderAll in all, when deciding which color is the best for your home office, it’s important to pay attention to these little details to stay aware of your mood and energy levels. The next time you enter an office or a building try to see how the colors mix and match and see how that makes you feel. Never underestimate the power of colors.…

One can question whether a single person needs a handful of shampoos, shower gels, bath oils or conditioners and not to mention the face washes and moisturizers but that is really a moot point.

Reasons for buying vanity units

Vanity units are ideal for those who are not satisfied with a normal amount of bathroom products. It is also ensured that there is minimum wastage of bathroom space. Not only that, but one can also cover up wires or plumbing which can otherwise ruin the look of the room.

The good news is that manufacturers have understood these problems and have created vanity units of all shapes and sizes.

Bathroom Vanity units come in a wide array of styles which means that the consumer can go for a completely plain or basic look or an over the top Victorian style- depending on the theme of the room.

No matter how beautiful the style is, it can become quite an eyesore if it does not complement the tiles and flooring in the bathroom. Always keep in mind that if you want to add an element of elegance to the room, the simplest way to do it is to purchase a wooden vanity unit.

Vanity unit material

 

As has already been mentioned, the next step is picking the material with which the vanity unit should be constructed. Wood is definitely the best bet because it goes with anything but the material is high maintenance- if it touches water or any other liquid and is not wiped immediately,

the wood will swell up and starts cracking. Another option is laminated wood which is much more durable than regular wood. Modern metallic will give the room a great finish while chrome plated is not meant for everything- it looks tacky almost all the time. However, people tend to select these vanity units because they last for several years before wearing out completely.

Ready-made piece or constructed

The latter is naturally better as it allows you to have complete control over the dimensions, style, and finish of the unit.
