1 Looking To Ramp Up The Energy? Think Red

Nothing screams attention as as loudly as the colour red, which makes it perfect for creating a bold look in your home, right? Yes and no. Red is a powerful colour, and must be used carefully. It is ideal for high-energy areas like the living room, or for a feature wall in combination with a special effect. When using red, make sure the room is spacious and that it already gets adequate light.
Although conventional wisdom says red is not restful enough for the bedroom, we believe it can be used to create a happy and passionate ambience if it is used carefully and in combination with a more restful colour or a neutral shade.

2 Want To Create A Happy Vibe? Sunshine Yellow Does The Trick

Warm colours like yellows and oranges are mood enhancers. They mimic sunshine and light, and instantly lift your spirits. They’re especially great for brightening dark corners and maximising the natural light that is already available in the room. However, like all bright shades, it must be used in moderation with deep yellows, and restricted to one or two walls.
You could even paint your wall in different shades of yellow – from a pale maize shade, to maybe even a bright lemon. Try stripes of alternating yellows. Mustard yellow can be used to create an earthy yet vibrant feeling. Yellows, oranges and peaches also work well in dining spaces, as they are food related colours, and enhance the appetite.

3 Want To Create An Oasis Of Calm? Try Lavender

Pastel shades are known for their calming effect. Lavender is a highly relaxing colour, but it is also unique and interesting – a good alternative to the regular blues and greens. A shade that lies between energetic purple and sombre blue, it soothes without draining your energy. Lavender is ideal for bedrooms and rooms with less light – it has the effect of opening up space.

4 Trying To Fight The Blues? Use This Hue Correctly

Blue is one of the most attractive colours in the spectrum, but be cautious, it is also the colour of depression. Though a calming, relaxing colour, it can suck all your energy if used in excess. Pale blues are ideal for the bedroom because that’s where its soothing effect is most valued.

5 Feel Like Instant Celebration? Go For Gold

Gold is elite, the colour of paradise. It stands for the special moments in our lives. Using a glittery, shimmery gold finish instantly creates a mood of sophistication and celebration. You could use a subtle, gold highlighted pearly interior paint on all walls, or create a feature wall using a gold-based special effects paint. Because the effect is luxurious, gold works best in larger spaces, especially celebration or meeting areas such as the living room or the Majlis.
