Photo: Kate SmithSummer heat is in full sizzle, and I'm thinking cool colors to refresh your home. Icy blues, ocean greens, and sunrise purples create a cool and welcoming environment. These hues invite the mind and body to relax and renew.
Use varied light, medium, and dark cool colors that subtly contrast one another. Adding just a hint of warmth with neutrals, such as a yellow chair or a cream accent piece, is essential to rounding out the palette.
Photos: Elle Decor / Pierce DesignAs a cool hue, shades of blue naturally calm our body and free our mind. Instead of relating blue to sadness, as people often think when they hear "feeling blue," think of feeling peaceful. Cool colors are excellent choices for writing spaces or spa bathrooms allowing you to be quiet with your thoughts.

Photos: HGTV / Better Homes and GardensCan a tranquil mood be created using red, yellow, or orange? Absolutely. But, it's much more difficult to achieve because those colors naturally feel warming and invigorating. Cool colors offer instant soothing, rejuvenation, and a much-needed respite from the heat of a long summer day.More Ideas & AdviceGet Inspired with More Ideas & Advice »
