Work and other sources of stress probably brought out the concepts of relaxation such as spa or yoga exercise. That people even try to have their own spa at home or a yoga gym to able to relax. And there’s that one form of relaxation which may not be as popular as the spa or yoga but is definitely easy to do and can effectively relax one – it is called color therapy.
Color therapy is act of viewing colors whose effect is either calming or stimulating one’s mood. For example, an angry person can try to look at soothing blue and green colors to calm himself or perhaps a bored person turn to warm and bright colors such as orange and yellow to stimulate himself.
One can turn one wall or room of his house to a color therapy room by just simply following these three simple steps – First, select a spot in your house where people can spend conveniently a few minutes. A good spot could be a wall near the living room or the house’s library. Second, decide the layout of colors. For this, one should of course group alike colors such as the warm and cool ones, then locate these by groups. The wall can be divided into two or three to accommodate these color groups or perhaps each side of a room can be assigned to one color group. Third, since these are group of colors, using patterns or themes in painting them would bring in more creativity. Themes such as under the sea for the cool colors or patterns such as ripples or circles for the warm ones could be used. Also, a color therapy room can be personalized according to the colors that the owner prefers as warm or cool ones.
Book lovers definitely have a mini or walk-in library at their own homes. And that would probably look like a wall of so many levels and with overflowing books. Through the years, this walk-in library most likely had gathered so many dusts and the books colors might have faded already. And if that look does not please you anymore, a make-over for your walk-in library will be well deserved.
A new way to revive the colors in a walk-in library would be creating book covers made from fabric. Creating these fabric book covers is very easy and only requires four things – sewing machine, colorful fabrics, elastic bands, and scissors. First, survey the sizes of the books to be covered and create square templates for the most common sizes and do not forget to put an at least two inches allowance for the border. Next, select and cut the chosen fabrics according to the size templates. After which, sew the elastic bands on the border of the cut fabrics. Once this is done, you can already proceed putting a fabric book cover on each book.
But if you do not have the spare time to create your own fabric book covers, you can also try looking for tailoring shops and ask them if they can do that service for you. Just remember that this make-over will give you the power to choose what colors you want your library to have and as its new look.
