Elements of Colour
Colour plays a pivotal role in our lives from birth and there is a whole psychology behind it. Appropriately called ‘colour psychology’ it’s the study of hues as a determinant of human behaviour. It’s well established that colour influences our perceptions, emotions and even thoughts. When painting your home, or choosing window furnishings, you can’t afford to ignore this important element.
Ask yourself:
-
What colours do I like and already use?
-
What colours are already in my space?
-
How do they make me feel?
-
Do they match the space and furnishings?
Elements of Texture
The feel, appearance or consistency of a surface or object has a great impact on our moods and feelings. It also impacts the look and feel of a space. For instance consider thick curtains in a lounge room matched to thick upholstery. It creates a certain texture that is visible from the moment you walk in. What type of texture do you wish to create in your space?
Ask yourself:
-
Do I like traditional thick materials?
-
Do I like the minimalist look?
-
Is touch important to me in my space?
-
What objects and furnishings do I like to touch?
Let’s not Forget the Exterior
Remember to incorporate the above three elements into your exterior that is your backyard and garden. This is just as important as the interior. Just like the inside, the exterior should reflect your personality and lifestyle. In recent years, landscaping and gardening has taken off immensely. Homeowners recognise the importance of a well maintained exterior. Along with your interior it adds property value when done well. Consider adding things like awnings and blinds.
