Using colour in your interior design project

Colour Psychology

Colours can create a number of psychological effects and trigger memories. The human mind is incredibly complicated. The way a person thinks and how they perceive the world can be shaped in many unexpected ways. For example, did you know that colour can have a huge impact on how you feel and act? It may seem strange, but it is true: the colour in your surroundings will have significant psychological effects.

Bright yellows tend to inspire optimism and foster an upbeat attitude. However too much yellow can quickly become grating. Yellow is best used in moderation, or in very light tones. Orange, a fun and stimulating colour, should be treated in the same way.

Purple is associated with a wealth of wonderful emotions from depth and creativity to fantasy and nobility in colour psychology. It looks right at home in feminine spaces, such as pretty bedroom schemes, but deeper versions of the hue can also be incredibly masculine.

Think about using it in a dressing room to create a truly special getting-ready destination or let it take over your entrance hallway to impress guests at the first opportunity. “Purple carries a regal charm and also suggests luxury which enables the tone to bring real presence to a space.”
