Colour has a powerful effect upon our emotions, directly influencing the feeling and perceptions we have within our surroundings.
So, before you head for the colour swatches, consider how you want your home to ‘feel’. Do you want to evoke a calming space or invigorating? Harmonious or seductive?
Warm colours such as red, can make you feel sociable, lively and can even stimulate appetite.
Burgundy and plum tones create a feeling of warmth and quiet elegance, evoking a relaxing air of luxury.
Because of their vitality and energy, oranges and yellows work best as an accent colour, although the more muted hues can work well on a larger scale if used wisely.
Blue is cool and receding colour that floods a room with a sense of calm and sensitivity.
And green is strongly associated with nature, relaxation and restfulness – ‘bringing the garden indoors’.
Of course, you may have certain items of furniture, accessories or soft furnishings that may need to be incorporated into your scheme. Or you may be starting with a complete blank canvas.
