colour

Have you ever wondered why we like some colours more than others? Or why did you paint your wall a certain hue? Was it just a randomly picked colour, or is there a reason we always make similar colour choices. Some people claim that we have a proclivity for a certain type of shades and hues, and that this proclivity depends on and expresses our personality. Look around your living room, since this is the room where we send most of our waking hours, and see if you can notice any colour schemes. Then when you have found one (and we are certain that you will), read the following list to see what the colour you choose most often says about you.

Yellow

Ask yourself – what does yellow remind you of? Bright sunshine, high life energy, and roaring fires, of course. If you gravitate towards yellow, or other warm shades such as red, orange, or peach for that matter, you most probably have a cheerful personality. You follow your own rules and inspire others to do the same. Warm shades make the room look more welcoming and intimate. You probably like having people over.

If, looking around your living room, you see a sea of blues, you are probably a bit introvert. Your home is your oasis and your safe haven from the crazy world. On the other hand, your strong will and determination and a no-nonsense attitude are what drives you. Unlike warm hues, cools expand a room, giving you the feeling of freedom. To avoid the chilly atmosphere, throw in a few brown details in your furniture.

Cool green shades are easier on the eyes, because they have a lower intensity. For this reason they remind us of something soothing and peaceful, like wide-open fields. If light green appeals to you, you are probably a good listener. Someone who calms other people down. You let them express their feelings and thoughts.

Pink

Explosive pink reveals an explosive personality. You are most likely adventurous and tempestuous. You are always on the lookout for new experiences, you have to try and see everything. Pink loving person is someone who is easily bored by everyday, mundane things.

It takes courage to go for brown painted walls. Brown coloured walls and décor show that you are responsible, diligent, and hardworking. You take your obligations seriously, and leave nothing to chance. Other people respect you, and you value their opinion.

Maybe colours are not your thing. Do not worry. This just means you are a practical, even-keeled and satisfied person. This also goes for all neutral colours, like grey, beige, and ivory. You like permanence, cleanliness, and a classic look. To avoid the sterile and ‘boring’ look, work in some dark and light toned details in furniture, and plenty of texture.

Light blue

Blue was always known as more cold than warm colour, but paler nuances combined with other colours have the power to soften the entire space and provide immense dose of tranquillity. Light blue spectra is this year light desirable more than ever, especially because it allows creating transparent, but still modern and comfy appearance, so dare to combine it with cool grey nuances.  If your home lacks relaxing spirit, paint your walls or floors into light blue with a hint of bolder grey.

Greek blue

Inspired by powerful Mediterranean ambient, Greek blue is instantly reviving and refreshing, and, as such, unavoidable for living rooms missing energy and richer look. This is the hue of oceans and clear skies and it’s great to be paired with contrasted vivid colours, especially with pink and grey.

Pastels, but frosty ones

Pastels are like eternal classic, so you can stay loyal to them as long as you opt for radiant nuances exuding a dose of frozen and neon shine. Frosty pastels are perfect for walls and prevailing interior pieces, but you should spice them with bright tones to avoid over – united look. So, pastels lovers, feel free to embrace Dandelion tea, secret blush (something like bleached purple), elusive blue and dreamscape grey, but vivid look fans can stick to mint green, light pink or aqua hues.

Earthy brown as perfect contrasting

Yes, 2015 colour trends are glorifying bright colours, but dark wood as well as muddy brown nuances are also welcome, most likely for spaces where bright elements should be more accentuated. Earth brown palette is best if applied on walls when furniture and decor come in dirty pink and white with eventual haze blue accents.

Pop of optimistic brights

Radiantly bright colours, such as bold and soft purple, natural orangey, plastic lime and sonic blue are the hits of the season, and great for adding energetic accents to conversation areas, especially dining room. However, use them carefully, best on shelving decor and some furniture parts, where you can reach impressively alluring ambient if pair them with neutral walls and floors.

Muddy warms

Rustic, muddy appearance comes back to our homes, especially to those spirited with vintage motifs and old-fangled decor. A space warming up was never so easy, so rely on subtly and kind of dirty nuances, preferably olive green, dusty mint, aubergine and rusty tones. Combine them with grey, ivory, and if you’re brave enough, dramatize things with bright decor accessorize.

Explosion of colours will definitely reach its maximum this year, both in fashion and interiors, telling us once again that life without colours is empty and not exciting at all.
