The Best Paint Color for Your Mood

You feel it when you walk into a room. The colors on the wall almost instantly evoke a certain feeling. So when it comes to your abode why not paint your home to fit your mood? Make your house a true sanctuary. Read below for a list of colors to match every emotion!

Mood: Warm and Cozy

Reds, yellows, and oranges are considered warm colors and draw inspiration from elements in nature like fire and the sun. Layering warm tones—think: terra cotta or coral—with a honey-hued wood creates an inviting and cozy feel in any room.

Mood: Relaxed

A color palette of beige, warm whites and green mixed with natural wood feels relaxed and grounded. Bringing the outdoors in is a popular design mantra for a reason—we crave nature’s lush hues. Greens, in particular, remind us of spring and enliven us with a feeling of renewal.

Mood: Refreshed

There’s no more refreshing color than soft blue-green. Expansive and boundless, like the sky and the ocean, this hue gives us room to breathe.

Mood: Playful

Whimsical and cheerful, a full-spectrum color palette emotes the energy of a magical rainbow. A crisp white background keeps a multi-colored palette from feeling too heavy and cluttered. Who says we can’t be surrounded with all the colors we love at once?

Mood: Glamorous

For a touch of glamour, look no further than richly saturated colors. Paired with gold metals and a soft hue, like blush-pink, an otherwise serious navy becomes sophisticated but not stuffy.

Clean Air Solutions for Your Home

Nothings better than a breath of fresh air. So why not make sure it stays that way inside your home. Alleviate those pesky dust mites and household allergens. Read below for a list of clean air solutions to use throughout your abode!

Every Day
Open the windows

The simplest way to improve your air is to let some in from outside, says Barlis. This is important when you’re air-drying laundry, taking a shower, cooking, or cleaning — even in kitchens and bathrooms built with ventilation systems that exhaust directly to the outdoors. If yours feature only recirculating fans, be sure to leave the nearest window open as they run. Scrub the filters and degrease screens every six months.

Switch on an air purifier

It may be worth the investment if letting in a breeze is problematic (if you have seasonal allergies, for instance). This device fits into a central-air system and can catch up to 99 percent of large particulates like pollen and dander. Look for one rated MERV-13 or higher. (MERV, which stands for “minimum-efficiency reporting value,” is a measure of filtering efficiency.) For those without central air, a freestanding HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filtration unit can be very effective within a room, though not over the entire house. Place one where you spend the most time, such as your bedroom or living room.

Twice a Week
Patrol for dust

While modern houses built away from or high above busy streets may need a dusting just once a week, grime builds up more quickly in older structures or those with poor ventilation. These homes require more-frequent wipe-downs. Make sure to dampen your rag — dust and water molecules conveniently latch onto each other. For wood surfaces and antiques, break out a microfiber cloth. Don’t forget windowsills, shower rungs, and shelves. Always start high and finish low, says Sabrina Fierman of New York’s Little Elves, a fine interior cleaning company, to get every last speck. Another tip: Adopt a minimalist look—clutter-free surfaces are speedier to tidy.

Wash towels and mats

Air-dry them well after each use (when wet, they breed mold). Toss towels into the machine every three or so days; mats half as often. Avoid those with rubber backings, which don’t weather washings. A no-fuss alternative? Lightweight machine-friendly towel mats.

Weekly
Grab a mop

“The most effective way to clean the air is to clean the floor,” says Derrick A. Denis, vice president of indoor environmental quality at Clark Seif Clark, a Chandler, Arizona, consulting firm. After all, gravity pulls down particles, which then swirl back up with the smallest crosscurrent. Brooms get at crumbs, but to rein in the teeny-tiny particles that irritate your respiratory system, swab down or squeegee once a week. To reach tight spots effortlessly, choose a mop with an articulated, telescoping handle and a removable machine-washable top.

Vacuum with a vengeance

For rugs and upholstery, use a vacuum equipped with a HEPA filter; this ensures that what you just sucked up (at least, 99.97 percent of it) doesn’t go right back into the air. Snap on attachments to target furniture, and the small brush for tops of books along your shelves. Then go for the floors. Dense carpets trap more dust — and require several passes with the machine. Lighter weaves or bare floors make the task easier, as does choosing covered shelves instead of open ones for your library.

Launder your linens

They trap skin cells that slough off while you sleep, as well as dust and the mites that feed on it. These pests then generate by-products that can trigger allergies. To get rid of them, wash sheets and pillowcases at the hottest setting. Stick with machine-washable bedding. Keep extra pillows in a closet, and minimize decorative ones. Dust mites love bedrooms (and beds) because they tend to be especially warm and humid. Bring in a dehumidifier during the summer, or turn on your AC — cold air is inherently drying.

Each Season
Wash your pillows

Dust and dust mites love the insert, too. Fortunately, you can obliterate them in your washer (check the care label). Do two per load to keep it balanced—once with detergent (use liquid; powders can leave residue), and again without. Then tumble-dry on no heat, with tennis balls to keep them fluffed. To reduce the chore to twice a year, protect pillows with anti–dust mite encasings.

Strip the window dressings

Curtains and drapes are huge dirt collectors, so cleanse regularly, following care instructions. Custom treatments, especially those with elaborate detailing such as pleats, can often only be dry-cleaned, even if crafted from a typically resilient material like cotton. Vacuum them instead. For the fastest cleanups, opt for blinds; those with smooth textures trap less dust. With a wet cloth, you can restore them to their original glory — no heavy lifting required.

Described as a Traditional home, the estate boast 5,000 square feet of living space. The two-story abode has six bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms that offer a comforting scenery. Offering features described by the LA Times as “Picture Windows bring leafy views into the living and dining rooms”.

The homes additional features include white wainscoting, walnut hardwood floors and a chef’s grade kitchen which connects to a family room. The estate has every luxury feature one might need. Set behind gates on nearly a half acre, the home is nothing short of stunning.

The outdoors is just as comforting and serene. With a wide brick-paved porch outside the family room gives way to a swimming pool and spa set into a flat, grassy yard tucked into a landscaped slope with a serpentine path that’s lined with fragrant rose bushes.

The LA Times goes on to not Wilds successful Hollywood career as a writer and Producer. Noting  “Wilds writing credits that include “The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn,” the sitcom “Dads,” and the films “Ted” and “Ted 2. Last year, he was reportedly hired as the executive producer and showrunner of the upcoming “Animaniacs” reboot.” 

2578 HUTTON Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 is listed at $5,995,000.

About Josh Flagg
Josh Flagg likes setting records. Within the first four years of his career, Josh participated in four record sales, three of which are in our own city of Beverly Hills.
Josh recently participated in the highest sale in the history of Brentwood Park. He also participated in the highest priced sales on Foothill Road, Monovale Drive and Roxbury Drive.
Josh is also one of the stars of Bravo TVs Million Dollar Listing, returning for its seventh season this year.
He pampers his clients… said one local Realtor, In a way I have never seen before and I’ve been in the business for 25 years. I’ve seen Josh send chauffeured cars to his clients’ homes and send his clients up in helicopters to view properties. The best thing I have seen Josh do, though, was wrap an entire house in a big red bow before delivering the keys to the new owners. He is very creative, and that is why he is so successful. In Josh’s mind, there are no limitations.
Flagg does do more than sell real estate though. He also is a world traveler, having been to more than 50 countries. If you ever want to know where to stay in a particular city, just ask him.
He will not only give you a few choices, but he will tell you which particular rooms to request!
My funniest experience so far was when I fell into the pool of a client’s house in the middle of a showing, clothes, jewelry and all! Well I couldn’t let that slow me down, so I put on the owners robe, threw on some slippers and continued the showing. The buyers sent me a pair of swim-trunks when we closed escrow.
