Color: Yellow My Secret Weapon

A lot of people are afraid of color, and they are flat out terrified of yellow for some reason. I'm not sure why this is since it is such a cheerful and welcoming color, and quite frankly, the answer to a lot of drab and dreary spaces. Take laundry rooms for example. They tend to be small and windowless, and just not fun places to do work. The fastest way to fix that is to put a fun color on the walls, and my weapon of choice is yellow because it makes a room feel sunny window or no. In this room, I also put down heavy duty peel and stick tiles that could be grouted with latex grout. This is one of my favorite kinds of flooring. The grout makes you look twice to see if they are real tiles, and the slate color plays very well with yellow. Even with the light off, this room looks sunny and bright. I liked the yellow so much, I even painted the inside of the closet! Don't forget to make your whole work space cheerful, and laundry won't feel like just such a chore.
