My brother has a home painted and furnished in earth tones and it's unbelievably soothing and relaxing.
I now go to the house of my personal trainer instead of to a gym where she used to work. In her house, the walls are painted a very warm, earthy hue of brownish red. At the gym everything was some kind of black. It makes such a difference. The earth tones in her house make exercising easier.
