Here are a few tips on how color can be a part of your diet plans.

  • The cooler, appetite- reducing colors are in the blue and green family. Some purple tones work, but be careful with violet. Red is one of its components. Red is used in tandem with purple regularly in marketing to stimulate appetites of all kinds. Don’t believe it? Check out Las Vegas.
  • Paint one wall of your dining room in a shade of blue. Find a tone that works with what you already have in your dining area. If you are the only one in your family dieting, make it the wall you sit facing at mealtime.
  • Use blue table settings, blue plates, glassware, and blue napkins. Mix and match with white or bone pieces you already have for a wonderfully fresh and inviting look.

  • Blue tablecloth. Can be from anywhere--Target, JC Penney, Neiman-Marcus, or your local thrift shop. Or make one with fabric found at your neighborhood home store. (Home fabrics are usually 54 inches wide, while dressmaker fabrics are 36 inches wide.)
  • Find artwork with blue and green themes to hang in the dining room and kitchen areas. Again, it can be as pricey or as economical as you like.

Even if you don’t want to shed any pounds, (the rest of us hate you), bringing blues and greens into the home will freshen the look after the winter blahs.
