COLOUR PALETTE
Colour psychology is having more of an influence on our interior colour schemes . Use of colour can directly impact the energy and atmosphere we experience from a space . Understanding colour and how it impacts us has become more apparent following Covid as we direct our focus to our health and wellbeing . Colour in interiors has the silent ability to influence our entire mood which is why it ’ s so important to work with colours and patterns that speak to you , hues that make you feel happy , energised or help concentration – colour is a deeply personal thing .
Calming , earthy tones should be used in bathrooms , bedrooms or studies , whereas extravagant , bold colours and patterns are best suited to social spaces . Blues often symbolizes peace and tranquility ; often associated with water , it ’ s calming and encourages inner reflection , soothing any anxieties . Orange tones will create energy and positivity , while greens represent harmony and love – a soothing green will work in just about any room .
Don ’ t forget the obvious choice : white . White symbolises purity and cleanliness , in other words a clean slate – an all-white space can feel pretty even on the gloomiest of days and is especially great for accessorising .
