🌈 Colour Basics: What to Know Before You Start
Understanding Colour Psychology
Each colour can influence how a space feels:
-
Neutrals (white, grey, beige): Clean and timeless—perfect for resale or calm environments.
-
Cool tones (blue, green, lavender): Promote peace and focus, ideal for bedrooms and bathrooms.
-
Warm tones (yellow, red, terracotta): Energizing and sociable—great for kitchens, dining areas, and living rooms.
📐 Create a Balanced Interior Palette
Use the 60-30-10 Rule for colour distribution:
-
60%: Primary wall colour
-
30%: Secondary (furniture, cabinetry)
-
10%: Accent colour (decor, cushions, art)
