Winter’s drab skies and deep colors are behind us now. It’s time to freshen up your home for the new season.

Did you know color can do more than just add a little zip to your space?

It can actually affect your mood and your appetite!

Since I am a designer, naturally, my dining room features walls in several colors.

My husband who sits facing the cool grey and taupe wall has started losing weight.

Meanwhile, I sit facing the warm, deep reddish terracotta wall and guess what? You got it. I’ve started gaining a bit.

Zara Stender - Color Secrets

Warm color palettes stimulate the appetite. Red, in its many versions, is the worst offender. Have you ever noticed that you will eat more, lose track of time, and spend more money in a red plushy restaurant? Those steak houses know what they are doing.

Everyone, it seems, wants to lose a little weight in Spring and early Summer. We want to look good in that swimsuit. (When fashions show more skin, we’d like to have less skin to show!) Could it be that the cooler colors of the season actually help reduce appetite?

It is not just coincidence that this is the time of year when dieting is most successful.
