It’s been proven that certain wall colours in your space can change your mood. Yes….this does sound like something someone would say to you while clutching crystals and telling you about their latest tarot card reading., but colours do genuinely have an effect on our mood. We tend to associate certain colours with feelings, like yellow with the sun.
Blue
Take blue for instance, what is the first thing you think of when someone says blue? Probably the ocean or sky. Blue is a great easy colour to work with since most people find blue calming. It’s also reasonably easy to decorate, add a white couch and some simple furnishings and your blue room is set to keep you calm and cool the whole year round.
“A certain blue enters your soul” -Henri Matisse
Brown
Brown wall colours have come very much back into vogue. Browns tend to be associated with the earth and nature. Brown is a colour that is neutral and simple to furnish. Keeping your rooms in a neutral colour palette keeps your space simple and warm.
White
White walls tend to be a bit polarizing. Some people find the light paint stark and harsh while many others say that it is sophisticated and bright. This can also be dependant on the kind of white paint you choose, whether you go for a cooler or warmer white. If you’re interested in a more modern and posh white, go cooler. A warmer white like eggshell tends to fall more into the classical styles such as shabby chic.
With modern pigments, the possibilities are endless, feel free to go for a bright cheery yellow, or maybe a dramatic pop of black. All I ask is that you stay far away from the colour you get when you mix yellow and black. Seriously the worst options out there.
