How To Enrich Your Home With Colour

How to use colour in your home

As we are all eagerly awaiting the day the clocks finally go forward, be mindful that increasing natural light isn’t the only way to brighten your home. What a relief!

In fact, experimenting with bright colours in your home can have the same effect as the extra hour of daylight. Take a look at the colour wheel to get started on your colour journey.

Colourful windows & doors 

There’s no denying that colour can have a massive influence on your mood at home. The right colour can transform your space and create a warmer, calmer home.

A simple way to add colour to your home is selecting a colourful finish for your window frames and doors. You can then complement your chosen frames with bold curtains and decorative blinds.

If you’re trying to achieve a warmer home, stay away from subtle variations of white and go for a red hue instead. A mahogany window or door will make a drastic difference to the cosiness of your home.

Colourful paint

Head to B&Q and collect some paint samples to try in your home. Whether you are painting your walls or upcycling a tired-looking TV stand or bookcase, a lick of paint can make a big difference.

When introducing two or more colours, pay special attention to the colour wheel. Avoid high contrast, clashing colours that sit opposite each other on the wheel.

Instead, focus on colours that are in harmony with each other. You’ll find these colours adjacent to each other. Blue, green and cyan are an example colour scheme that promote calmness in the home.

Colourful accessories

If you’re wanting to trial different colour schemes, start with introducing colour in the form of home accessories.

Change up your cushions, rugs and blankets in bright and muted shades to go with the mood of the season.
