How to Choose the Perfect Colour for Your Home
Choosing the perfect colour for a room can sometimes feel like a breeze, while on other days, it's a real head-scratcher. And rightly so - the vibe of the spaces we inhabit daily can significantly impact our overall enjoyment. So, it's crucial to nail the right colour - but most importantly, the right colour for you.
With that in mind, here are six questions to ponder when selecting a new hue for your space:
1. What's the overall style?
Start by defining the mood and look you're aiming for. Deciding on a specific style can be tricky, especially if you're juggling multiple ideas. Stick to one style that resonates most with you, as this will help narrow down your colour palette options.
2. Think about the space
Consider the architectural features and purpose of the room. Different rooms serve different functions and require distinct vibes. For instance, kitchens demand practicality, while living rooms should reflect your personality. Bathrooms, on the other hand, need to be both refreshing in the morning and soothing in the evening.
3. When will you most use the room?
Think about when you'll be spending the most time in the room. Daytime rooms benefit from lighter colours, while evening spaces can embrace darker, cosier tones.
4. How about natural light?
Be mindful of how natural light affects colour perception. South-facing rooms bask in sunlight, while north-facing ones lean towards darkness. Embrace the opportunity to play with light and dark hues, and don't be afraid to go bold!
5. Have you considered 'colour theory'?
Colours have the power to influence mood and energy levels. Whether you're after a calming sanctuary or an energising space, choose colours that align with your desired ambiance.
6. What else are you working with?
Factor in existing furniture and decor elements when selecting your wall colour. Create harmony by choosing hues that complement your furnishings, and don't hesitate to get creative with paint finishes for a cohesive look.
