Calming paint colors for your home..

The choice of paint color we select for our homes has the ability to affect our mood, emotions and wellbeing whether we are aware of it or not.

The shade of paint you decide to use can impact how you feel immediately you walk into your home. 

In interior design this is a concept we call colour psychology that focuses on colour as a means of creating  a specific mood and atmosphere in a room.

Do you want to create a calm and relaxing haven when you walk into your house after a long day?

Here is a quick guide on 4 paint colours that can help  bring calm and relaxation into your home.

1. Shades of Green

Green has a strong association with nature, health and tranquillity. It can create an atmosphere that attracts calming feelings that can remove anxiety and helps us stay refreshed.

It is easy to pair with neutral colours to make the space feel cozy and relaxing.

2. Shades of Blue

Blue colors which are cool colors invoke the same effect as the deep blue of the ocean or the sky.  They create a  serene and calming atmosphere and pair perfectly with a wide range of neutral colours such as off white and grey including wood tones and metallics. 

3. Blush or Pastel shades

A blush or pastel painted room invites happiness and softness into a room which explains why it's popularly used in baby or children’s rooms.

It makes the space feel inviting and soothing and creates a happy and peaceful space for you to spend quality time with friends and family. They are easy to pair with gold accents if you need a bit of a sparkle.

4. Shades of Grey

Shades of grey have a tranquil and cooling effect which is why they are commonly used in spas. It creates a clean and crisp atmosphere that allows you to think and disconnect from distractions.

You can pair shades of gray with blue accents or earthy tones to bring the room to life.
