Choosing The Right Colour For The Right Mood

Choosing the right colours for your home is a pretty exciting task! Filling your space with colour and life is what brings most renovations to their ‘wow’ factor. But when making such a permanent decision for your home, it’s important to know the effects that colours can have on your moods and emotions. That’s where the beauty of professionally crafted colour palettes come in! If you have a space that you can already visualise being used in a certain way, it can be easier to choose the scheme to match. For example, a cosy room for reading a book and putting your feet up. Or, bright airy colours for entertaining and making memories. Knowing what direction you’re heading in makes choosing the colour palette much less of a daunting task. So, what are the colour trends this season that will compliment your renovation? Dulux has created some stunning schemes to inspire the right setting for your home. Bring Life to your Home If you have a space in your home that is ready for some life, then colours that evoke playfulness and laughter are your saving grace. The Escapade range from Dulux mixes lush greens, with playful pinks, creative oranges and airy whites to create an exciting mood of a tropical getaway. Green is said to relieve stress and can be a great way to symbolise nature while orange calls to mind feelings of excitement and enthusiasm. Your family and friends will be ready to don the Hawaiian shirt and sip cocktails with you in no time!

Hint: Using organic shapes for your art and furniture is a great way to blend styles and complete the lively look. Creating Balance through Colour Bringing a sense of harmony to your home can be as simple as the colours on your walls. A colour scheme that showcases comforts of being cozy will leave your family and guests relaxed and content. The Essential range at Dulux blends beautiful greys with warm and subtle tans to promote feelings of balance and calm. Choosing paler tones can create a nurturing environment, that is perfect for families looking to restore routine and balance. Hint: Using natural textures and fibres for room accents and furniture will highlight the character of your space and ensure that your neutral colours never feel dull. Cosying up Your Home For Winter As the temperature starts to drop, it’s only natural that we want our living spaces to accommodate our desire for cosiness. We’ve busted out our favourite fluffy slippers, and nights on the couch are becoming more frequent. So, how can we help our home take on the same cosiness for winter? Colours that promote feelings of calm and tranquillity like greys and blues mixed with subtle accents of orange and tan will promote warmth in the space. Your home will be feeling like a cosy winter escape in no time! Hint: Our in-house colour experts have picked their favourite swatches (below) that are the perfect choice for a cosy winter theme.

Using colour in your home is an effective way to transform your space and encourage different moods and emotions without a drastic renovation. Whether you want to instil more life, create more balance or provide a sense of warmth, colours have the ability to change your space and reflect the moods you’re after.
