Celebrate Spring with a Fresh Start for Your Home

With brighter days, warmer temperatures, and renewed energy, spring serves as a perfect reminder to care for our homes after a long, harsh winter. The tradition of “Spring Cleaning” dates back to mid-19th century England, where it became popular to thoroughly clean homes in March. This practice quickly spread to America, where families used the warmer weather to open windows, clean out winter soot, and prepare their homes for the year ahead—all while avoiding pesky flying insects that hadn’t yet arrived.

Today, the tradition continues with National Spring Cleaning Week, celebrated at the end of March. At Brook Realty and Renovation Services, we encourage homeowners to extend their spring cleaning beyond the interior walls. While decluttering and organizing inside, it’s equally important to give your home’s exterior the care it deserves.

Why Spring Cleaning Should Include Your Home’s Exterior

Brook Realty and Renovation Services offers a wide range of professional power washing and renovation solutions to get your home’s exterior in pristine shape this spring. From revitalizing driveways and patios to refreshing siding, our services are safe, effective, and environmentally friendly. With years of expertise, we’ve helped countless homeowners restore and maintain their homes’ beauty and functionality.

Here are some highlights of our services:

Driveways and Concrete

Concrete may be durable, but it’s also porous. Debris and water trapped in its tiny pores can cause serious damage over time. Our three-step cleaning process begins with the application of a cleaning solution, followed by gentle power washing to remove contaminants and protect your concrete surfaces.

Home Siding

Winter storms often leave siding coated with dirt and debris. Our Safe Pressure House Washing System effectively cleans all types of siding, including vinyl, aluminum, brick, wood, and stucco. Using biodegradable cleansers and our signature double freshwater rinse, we ensure a thorough and safe refresh for your home’s exterior.

Importance of color in daily life

Do you feel anxious in a yellow room? Does the color blue make you feel calm and relaxed? Artists and interior designers have long believed that color can dramatically affect moods, feelings, and emotions. “Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions,” the artist Pablo Picasso once remarked. 

Color is a powerful communication tool and can be used to signal action, influence mood, and even influence physiological reactions.

Certain colors have been associated with increased blood pressure, increased metabolism, and eyestrain.

So how exactly does color work? How is color believed to impact mood and behavior? 

What Is Color Psychology?

In 1666, English scientist Sir Isaac Newton discovered that when pure white light passes through a prism, it separates into all of the visible colors. Newton also found that each color is made up of a single wavelength and cannot be separated any further into other colors.

Further experiments demonstrated that light could be combined to form other colors. For example, red light mixed with yellow light creates an orange color. Some colors, such as green and magenta, cancel each other out when mixed and result in a white light.

If you have ever painted, then you have probably noticed how certain colors can be mixed to create other colors. 

“Given the prevalence of color, one would expect color psychology to be a well-developed area,” researchers Andrew Elliot and Markus Maier have noted.

“Surprisingly, little theoretical or empirical work has been conducted to date on color’s influence on psychological functioning, and the work that has been done has been driven mostly by practical concerns, not scientific rigor.”

Despite the general lack of research in this area, the concept of color psychology has become a hot topic in marketing, art, design, and other areas.

Much of the evidence in this emerging area is anecdotal at best, but researchers and experts have made a few important discoveries and observations about the psychology of color and the effect it has on moods, feelings, and behaviors.

Of course, your feelings about color are often deeply personal and rooted in your own experience or culture. For example, while the color white is used in many Western countries to represent purity and innocence, it is seen as a symbol of mourning in many Eastern countries.

The Psychological Effects of Color

Why is the color such a powerful force in our lives? What effects can it have on our bodies and minds?

While perceptions of color are somewhat subjective, there are some color effects that have universal meaning. Colors in the red area of the color spectrum are known as warm colors and include red, orange, and yellow. These warm colors evoke emotions ranging from feelings of warmth and comfort to feelings of anger and hostility.

Colors on the blue side of the spectrum are known as cool colors and include blue, purple, and green. These colors are often described as calm, but can also call to mind feelings of sadness or indifference.
