Kitchen:
Watch out for red in the kitchen because it stimulates the appetite! Better kitchen colors are blue, for its cool, refreshing, non-food related qualities; green, since it is related to natural food and health; yellow because it is sunny, bright, clean and associated with lemon-fresh scent; and white which is clean and fresh, great for appliances, although too much of it can make a room look sterile.

Bedroom:
Bright, sunny yellow can be difficult to live with in large amounts over a long period of time, so use it with care. Golden yellows, on the other hand, are easier to live with -- think of the morning glow at sunrise. Green is a good bedroom color because it is associated with concentration and relaxation. Blue and purple are also relaxing -- and sophisticated. Don't forget about pinks and peaches -- they're stimulating, warm, friendly and inviting.

Living Room:
Any of the "warm" colors are inviting and stimulate conversation, but stay away from dark grays, unless teamed with lots of bright and light colors.

Dining Room:
Red is the best -- and the darker the better. Gold is great, too, and black creates a dramatic effect. Blues, however, tend to look depressing under low lighting levels, while white is too stark for an intimate environment.

Bathroom:
Pink and peach provide good reflective qualities on the skin, while yellow produces just the opposite. Grays are depressing without other colors, and white is excellent, particularly for fixtures because it looks clean and sterile, exactly the properties you want in a bathroom.

Nursery:
Babies need a stimulating environment while parents need a soothing haven. If you want to be gender specific, pink for girls, blue for boys, the infancy stage of life is the time to exercise your color preferences. An infant will not be stimulated by pink or blue; rather they are stimulated by white, black, yellow, and red -- colors that offer strong contrast. Soft pastels are for the adults not for the baby. Remember, it is very easy to create contrast with pastel colors, even intergrating bold colors. A nursery environment is important but changing the room as the child grows is key to on-going development.

Kids' Room:
Children Under 5: Girls will be girls meaning they love anything pink, preferably Princess Pink, Hot Pink or Purple. Boys will be boys meaning they love anything blue, preferably Navy, Cobalt, or Ocean Blue

Children Over 5:
Very strong personalities begin to emerge. However, boys will still be boys and want their blue, maybe with red added. Girls move into another zone -- they can go either for pastels, ruffles and lace or move over to the stronger, bolder brights. These preferences remain into the pre-teen years at which point it is totally an individual choice on color combinations.
