Imagine spaces with happiness in mind—color and shapes in the rooms conspiring to spark joy.

Then apply this thought process to food; fresh, colorful, delicious food to make your mood swing up to the best level it can be.

You will find that patterns and colors can have the most considerable impact when creating a happy place.

For most people, happy colors are bright, warm colors like yellow, orange, and pink. The brighter and lighter color, the more optimistic it will make you feel.

Yellow and orange are known to entice the palate. Also, Yellow symbolizes happiness and warmth in almost all cultures. A deep pink stands for love and vitality, and a light pink evokes support and kindness. Setting the table and choosing foods in that color palette will have a definite mood-boosting effect on you and your guests.
