COLOUR
IN NATURE
Blur the lines between the great outdoors and your interior spaces
by replicating nature’s colours on your walls. Here’s how.
Marie Kondo’s Netflix fans can stop uncluttering for an instant. There’s a new
way to ‘spark joy’ in your home. It’s called: ‘Bring the outside in.’ The idea is
to replicate nature in our interior spaces by using paint colours that inspire a
calming effect, or act as a mood-booster.
‘Humans through history have always found peace in nature, and these days
we are increasingly seeking it for our homes. An easy way to find this type of
Zen effect is to create it by blurring the lines between the indoor and outdoor
worlds through colour and design,’ says Plascon Head of Decorative Marketing,
Katlego Kondlo.
It’s a trend open to all. ‘It doesn’t matter whether your space is big or small, in
the city or the suburbs – some beautiful colours and natural decor will have you
singing “The Hills are Alive” like Julie Andrews every day,’ smiles Kondlo.
