Are you a frustrated colour-lover?

The traditional autumnal colour palette brings to mind warm yellows and golds, rich oranges, deep berry reds, purples and pinks, and dark earthy hues of the natural world. These rich colours, when used in combination with greenery, wood, and other natural materials, such as cotton and jute, provide us with a connection to nature and remind us of the positivity and joy that connection can bring.

Are you drawn to the autumnal colour palette?

Colour psychology shows us that colour has mood transformative properties and different colours affect human behaviour and our emotional responses. The undertone of any given colour will influence our response to it, with cooler tones providing a calm and tranquil feel and warmer tones a cosy, enveloping atmosphere.

The autumnal personality is often described as strong, fiery and vibrant, but the colour palette can be interpreted in a number of ways to suit each individual taste. Pastel autumn tones will produce a softer, lighter feel, dark rich tones provide a deeper, almost cocoon-like autumnal environment, and jewel tones will bring vibrancy and opulence.

Whatever your colour preferences, if you would love to introduce more colour into your home but are unsure how to do so, a great way to start is to arrange an ‘Inspire’ session. A personal home visit sharing our expert advice, tips and suggestions on how to bring your colourful interior aspirations to life.
