BERRY GOOD
Darker, moodier colours have an enveloping effect, making a space feel snug and cocoon-like. Deep reds and purples are best paired with dark-wood furniture for a plush place you can retreat to for total relaxation.
COLOUR CLASH
Contrasting colours and patterns can work together to create a surprisingly coherent look in a relaxed setting that sets the mood for fun. There are a few golden rules you should follow: stick to solid colours on the couch, walls and fixed furniture pieces and add playful pattern with items such as cushions, throws and rugs so that you can easily change your look or tone things down if you start to feel like it’s a bit ‘much’.
BLUE PERIOD
You can choose to go all in and create an immersive effect like this blue room in which a similar tone of a single key colour has been applied to everything from the furniture to the carpet and walls. This type of execution creates a sense of opulence, a luxe effect that in this instance is enhanced by tactile fabrics such as velvet.
There’s no doubt that colours affect your mood and that they can reflect some of your key characteristics
