I also have crystals hanging in our bedroom window. The sun shining through them onto the walls is lovely. S x x x x

It would depend on the yellow I think, a very bright one would be very tiring to your eyes I think especially in electric light

I agree I think more mellow colours are relaxing. They can still be colourful. Maybe a different shade on each wall. S x x x x

This is a good question.
The start of my depression this year seemed to have coincided with when we painted a wall in our bedroom purple... Just a coincidence?
It is a nice warm purple, and only 1 wall out of 3 are purple. We are yet to get around to finding nice pictures for the walls...
