The colour chronicles: how hues can transform your home's atmosphere

Updated: Jun 21, 2023

Welcome to the world of colour, where shades can shape your state of mind and set the scene for your home environment.


At IZMO, we know how the colours you choose affect our emotions and behaviours. Who knew a simple shade could wield so much power? For instance, blues are perfect for creating a calming and soothing atmosphere, while reds bring a touch of energy and excitement to your space. Yellows evoke joy and warmth, while greens can bring a little bit of the great outdoors into your home.


When you're deciding on colours for your home, the first thing to consider is the overall vibe you want to create. Are you after a space that exudes tranquillity and peace? Or perhaps you want to go bold and create a vibrant and lively atmosphere that's perfect for entertaining? Once you've got that sorted, you can start thinking about colour combinations.


Choosing the right colour combinations can be a bit of a challenge, but don't fret. As a rule of thumb, start by picking one dominant colour that'll be the primary shade in your room. Then, add one or two accent colours that complement your main hue. Feeling overwhelmed? Don't worry - you can always turn to the trusty colour wheel to help you find complementary colours that work harmoniously together.


Another approach is to choose colours from the same family. For example, blues and greens are a winning combination for a calming and serene atmosphere, while warm oranges and yellows create a cosy and inviting ambiance.


And let's not forget the power of colour to change the perception of a room's size. Lighter colours make rooms feel more spacious, while darker shades can add a more intimate vibe. If you're working with a smaller space, you can opt for lighter colours on the walls and add colour through cushions, throws, wall art or tiles.


So there you have it, the lowdown on how colours can transform your home atmosphere. With a little bit of know-how, you can create a space that reflects your style and personality. Let your imagination run wild, experiment with different hues and maybe add some coloured candles from IZMO!
