How To Guides
Invite joy and happiness into your home through the use of colour. Bright, vibrant colours can lift your mood, give you a sense of health and vitality and can help you think more positively. Reflect your own unique style and lift the mood using colours like yellows, greens, blues and pinks.
You won't feel down with blue
Research shows that humans choose colours depending on their surrounding environment. When selecting a colour scheme for your home, determine the colours you like based how you feel in the space, then narrow it down to your favourite shades.
You’ll feel anything but blue when you use this versatile hue because it evokes a feeling of peace and inspires relaxation. Add moody sophistication to a space with a darker tone like Dulux Port Jackson, or Dulux Five Fingers Peninsula to create the feeling of space. Ideal for the living room or kids’ playroom.
It is easy being green
Calming, cheerful and exciting are the words design experts use to describe green. Green is an ideal colour to paint your room for a more tranquil and natural feeling.
Green can be used on a feature wall throughout the entire room to make a bright and bold statement. Green colours can be warm or cool depending on their undertone this makes them perfect for pairing with other bright hues to evoke a happy and joyous feeling in your home.
Style with a multitude of hues
Pink is a mood-boosting colour that can make any room vibrant and fun. Incorporate similar hues into your design by styling your home with contrasting or cohesive furniture, décor and soft furnishings. This will add an extra touch of uplifting colour to your space and give your home that wow factor.
