Calming colours for a mindful look. Mood changers...
Most of us are aware of how the colours we use in our homes can affect our mood. Calm, grounding colours like earthy greens, slightly muddied neutrals and soft aquas create a sanctuary away from an often busy, bright and frenetic world. Use matt or flat finishes, like Resene SpaceCote Flat, weathered surfaces and texture for an added connection to nature and take inspiraton from other cultures by adopting their colours and customs – how about your own Japanese-style tea space? Take time for yourself, consider how you want your home to feel and create your own haven of colour.
