Make the Most of Colour
Your colour choices have a significant impact on your home.
Colour determines your living space's overall aesthetic, can influence your mood, and set the right tone for your guests. It can also affect your overall property value, too.
Do you want your space to feel comfy and serene, or trendy and dramatic? Or maybe your family's style is somewhere in between.
Take a look at these tips for incorporating colour like a pro.
1. Different Colours for Different Moods
Natural tones would be shades of sunny yellow, soft brown, and silvery green - to make your space feel more calming. Uplifting hues might be ultimate gray or teal, to add light and vibrancy to an entire room. Rich Jewel tones would be bold magenta, deep blue, and royal purple, for a dramatic feel. Classic Neutrals consist of soft taupe, or pearl white, to create a clean, minimalistic palette - these colours are timeless and pair well with nearly any home decor. Encourage warmth, coziness, and positivity with desert-inspired hues such as rust, soft pink, or apricot.
2. Colour-placing Strategy
How will you use the colours? You can opt for a more nuanced approach and paint an accent wall, your crown moulding, or your baseboards, or you could go all-out and use it on your kitchen cabinets, or even an entire room. Another option is to keep the walls a neutral shade, and then focus colour on accessories - like bedding, pillows, drapes, towels, or blankets.
3. Durability and Upkeep
White and light hues photograph well and make a room look nice and clean. On the downside, they may get dirty easily and often require a lot of cleaning and upkeep. They’re typically not good choices in a well-used space - like a playroom, or right around the kitchen sink or oven, for example.
