Colour

Colour is one of the most important and powerful tools in interior design. Clever use of colour can create a mood for your home and manipulate the size and shape of a room.

Colour creates a mood for your home- it triggers a response to how we perceive that colour in nature.

Blue and green shades are cool colours that produce refreshing and calming atmospheres, similarly to looking out over a soothing ocean. Reds and oranges are warm colours, taking the chill off a room and generating an abundance of energy. Warm colours are reminiscent of the sun and desert planes.

Neutral colours foster gentle, tranquil environments that can be used to highlight features of a room, such as your favourite artwork or an original Victorian fireplace.

Colours can be used to manipulate the size and shape of a room.

Dark colours absorb light, close in a space and make a room feel cosy and intimate. Softer colours reflect light, open up rooms and create a sense of space.

Choosing a colour that you are comfortable living with is undoubtedly the most important decision. Often your favourite colour is the best starting point.
