I need a quick pick-me-up in my living room and I think a new color would do the trick!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve got a cream couch and rug, so the sky is the limit. Can you give me some mood-brightening color suggestions?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Option 1: I\u2019d go with a classic palette of blues and greens to add punch to your creams. Explore a new look with a mix of hues and a variety of textures. Go with sleek colored-glass lamps and velvet pillows, plus green plants nestled in nubby, warm-colored wicker baskets. Find colored accessories and maybe a new statement piece of art for the wall with lots of blues and greens in it.<\/p>\n<p>Option 2: Of if you\u2019re like to be right on top of the color trend, go with a rich, charcoal gray and warm, sunny yellows. A textural dark gray blanket throw and bold yellow pillows would perk up your sofa. Look to mix solid yellow pillows with printed pillows that have a dash of yellow and gray on them. Then you can add decorative accents in brass or gold to elevate the look of the room and elevate your mood!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><button class=\"more-link\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Read More<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"><\/span><\/button><\/div>","protected":false},"author":1261,"featured_media":135261,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,10101],"tags":[1591,10131,10291,10281],"class_list":["post-123031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ask-a-pro","category-bhgre-happyhome","tag-ask-a-pro","tag-bhgre-happyhome","tag-max-wilker","tag-paint-colors","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Ask a Pro - Mood Brightening Colors - BHGRE #HappyHome - Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Life<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Our design pros help answer your questions about mood brightening colors\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/stage.bhgrelife.com\/bhgrelife\/ask-a-pro-mood-brightening-colors-bhgre-happyhome\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ask a Pro - Mood Brightening Colors - BHGRE #HappyHome - Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Life\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/stage.bhgrelife.com\/bhgrelife\/ask-a-pro-mood-brightening-colors-bhgre-happyhome\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Life\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-02-17T18:47:08+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-10-05T14:28:06+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/stage.bhgrelife.com\/bhgrelife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Ask-A-Pro-Mood-Brightening-Colors-BHGRE-Happy-Home2-scaled.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2560\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1706\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Ashley Allison\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Ashley Allison\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/stage.bhgrelife.com\\\/bhgrelife\\\/ask-a-pro-mood-brightening-colors-bhgre-happyhome\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/stage.bhgrelife.com\\\/bhgrelife\\\/ask-a-pro-mood-brightening-colors-bhgre-happyhome\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Ashley Allison\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/stage.bhgrelife.com\\\/bhgrelife\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/52534c4f40381bdc059673d2d8f51adc\"},\"headline\":\"Ask a Pro &#8211;
