Whether through colour or furniture, decoration has the power to make us feel happy.
A kitchen can make someone love cooking; a bathroom can be a child's happiest place. The reason lies in the feeling within these spaces, the decoration and colours that create it, and the spirit of the setting we call atmosphere.
The effects of colours on all living beings are a scientifically proven fact. Yellow brings joy, red excitement, blue calm and green peace; white expresses purity, while black conveys power and allure. We draw on the psychological effects of colour in everything from treating mental health conditions to marketing strategies.
Is it any different in our homes? Of course not. Colours are still at work, continuing to guide our emotions. The colours you use extensively at home may be why you cannot fall asleep at night, feel very tired, become unusually irritable or struggle to concentrate on your studies. A strong appetite may come from the orange tiles in your kitchen. Bring green and blue into the kitchen, as these two colours are on the appetite-suppressing list. Losing sleep at night? Then get rid of those red curtains! Dozing in front of the television? Add a little yellow to décor dominated by blue and green...
It is not only colours that change your mood; forms and textures do too. Soft textures bring peace and calm, while sharply cornered accessories and furniture increase anxiety.
The light in a space has similar effects. Very strong light can make you uncomfortable when you enter a room, while soft light puts you in a more understanding frame of mind.Colour, texture, form, light: a home's identity emerges through the qualities of these four factors. To capture beauty rooted in true value in decoration, you need to draw the right lines and make the right choices. In the formula for a home that makes you happy, create a decorative scheme that feels good to your heart.
