It’s not news that colors and patterns have unique effects on human psychology. While some colors are believed to induce depression, others are associated with relieving stress and boosting the mood. This science of color is worth taking into consideration not only while picking out your home décor but also while picking out your outfit, especially in times like these when it is easy to feel low and demotivated. So, to help you stay pumped up and enthusiastic all through this quarantine, we’ve rounded up the colors and prints (after much research) that will make your stay-at-home experience a joyful one. Scroll down to find out…
Say yes to yellows
According to psychology, yellow is considered one of the happiest hues on the color wheel as it is the color of the sun and is thus meant to evoke feelings of positivity, optimism and joy. Try this hue in a maxi dress for maximum appeal or opt for tops and throws with dramatic detailing to help your spirits soar through the day.
