Winters still not over, but that doesn’t mean we have to live in gloom until spring comes around.
Winters still not over, but that doesn't mean we have to live in gloom until spring comes around. Colour is a big part of setting the mood in your home and there's nothing nicer than the warm and happy feelings of spring. Pick colours that make you happy inside but always test shades out. Here are 3 colours to tide you over til the rain stops.
- Pastel blue
Pastels are undeniably springy. Bright, but not too bright- pastel blue is the perfect shade to push away the dark grey sky. Use this colour with white or green for the best spring feelings; highlight specific areas of a room and don't be afraid to cover entire ceilings to get that blue sky effect. This colour works especially well in bedrooms and bathrooms, but there's no rules in great design! - Bright yellow
Yellows have been in style for a while now, and they're not going away anytime soon. Whether you're looking to brighten up dark and dreary walls with highlights of yellow, or you're planning to go all out and really let the sun in, you can't go wrong. Why not go bold and paint the entire room with the colour of spring? Yellow is an energetic colour, pair it with darker and duller shades such as browns and greys for the best effect.
Spring isn't just about skies and fluffy yellow chicks, flowers will also be springing up in the coming few weeks and months. Light and delicate pinks, such as millennial pink, are perfect for making a mostly white room more interesting. The great thing about this colour is that it can be more powerful than others if used correctly; be careful not to overdo it with the paint brush! Why not add a new lick of pink paint to old furniture? Floral patterns, plants and petals can do just the trick too- and have the added benefit of being even more spring-like.
