Allow colours into your home ...

Beside the architecture, the light and furniture we choose for our homes, colours play a vital role to make our homes feel warm and cosy. Colour has the strengthen to change our homes completely as it evokes our emotions. Colours make us feel comfortable and reflects who we are.

That's why we should allow colours into our homes ...

Let's first have a look at the 4 basic colours white, red, green and blue.

White is the colour of peace and innocent, of calm and comfort, of simplicity and romance. White is timeless, fresh and bright. White makes the perfect backdrop for living. White is the purist of colours reflecting all light and it allows each colour to

have its own presence.

Red is vibrant, stimulating and passionate. It is warm and safe but also dangerous and daring. Red catches our eye the most. It is the colour of romance, excitement and seduction. Red is our homes lifeblood.

Green is healing - it relieves stress and gives us a sense of wellbeing. It stands for stability, certainty and productivity. Follow the advice of Feng Shui and bring some green into your interior. Green is not a colour but an entire palette with each shade

evoking a different emotion.

Blue is soothing and fresh, the colour of the sky and the sea - it is cooling, peaceful and neutral. It has a distance and depth. Blue if full of possibility - it is the colour of two vital elements for living: air and water. Blue is timeless and very calming.

Colours never clash - you just have to look at nature where strange colours are often combined together and they always coordinate naturally with each other. Every colour affects another - they influence each other.

Sometimes it is hard to imagine what effect colour will have in your home. Choosing a colour is part intuition and part practicality. Think about what the room needs and what you use it for and how much light it receives. The rest is about your imagination. In the end the only thing that counts is what you love.
