I painted my west-facing home office a moody pastel blue but I might have made a mistake - here's why I want to repaint it already
Briefly

Throughout my home renovation, I recognized that living in the space is essential for understanding how light affects color and atmosphere. Initially, I made the mistake of choosing a paint color that I thought would enhance my home office, but after experiencing the shifting natural light over time, that same color began to feel cold and oppressive. It became clear that paint color choices should align not only with personal taste but also with the orientation and light dynamics of the room to truly create a welcoming environment.
The right paint color isn't just about aesthetics; it also has to harmonize with the room’s light exposure and overall atmosphere.
Living in a renovated space allows homeowners to understand how light shifts impact color perception and room dynamics.
West-facing rooms transform from cool in the mornings to warm and golden in the afternoons, which can alter how colors appear throughout the day.
My initial choice of color seemed serene, but after living with it, it started feeling oppressive and cold instead of cozy.
