Spring is a time of renewal, so consider making over some of your spaces with a fresh coat of paint. Don’t forget to consider the psychology of colour and the role it can play on our mood.
If you’re thinking blue…
This hue often tops the favourite colour lists and for good reason. Blue can evoke feelings of calmness, relaxation, peace, tranquillity and security, making it a great bedroom option. It can also promote productivity and creativity, so consider blue in your home office.
If you’re thinking green…
As it’s the colour of nature, it’s not surprising that green promotes feelings of health, refreshment and a naturalness. On one hand, it can be relaxing, but it also has the ability to motivate and create feelings of optimism. A great hue to accent in your kitchen.
If you’re thinking pink…
This much-loved colour is considered by many to invoke positive, warm and comforting feelings. The shade is said to calm emotional energy and encourage nurturing. People also associate the colour with love and kindness. While unconventional, pink could be great in an entranceway to make people feel welcome in your home.
If you’re thinking yellow…
Of course this colour inspires feelings of happiness. As the shade is often associated with the sun, it’s only natural that yellow can make people feel warm, optimistic, cheerful, energised and hopeful. If you have a space in your home that doesn’t get much light, consider using yellow in the space.
