Artists such as Picasso and interior designers have for centuries believed that colour can hugely affect moods, feelings, and emotions. Perhaps this is why the design and colour choice of a room can often leave us feeling a sense of calm, alive with a burst of energy or in other cases, more grounded by the room we find ourselves in.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2018When decorating, it is always important to consider the desired feel of the space that you are in,\u2019 says Dulux Colour Expert, Palesa Ramaisa.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Think calming blues, grounding earth tones and energising yellows. The psychology of colour is such an important factor, not just within the marketing industry, but also within the world of design where it holds the power to impact a room more than any other factor.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>INTERIOR DESIGN COLOUR PSYCHOLOGY<br \/>\n<\/strong>As we continue to work from home, you may feel the need to spruce up your home office. Add a combination of neutral shades paired with subtle pastel colours to create a space that promotes concentration. Playing around with different paint techniques can also easily change a plain wall into something exciting.<\/p>\n<p>For your little ones, look at adding more vibrate stimulating colours such as toned-down yellows paired with warm neutrals or rich orange tones which spark creativity, balance, freedom and allow them room for expression.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12932\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Photo-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1520\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Photo-1.jpg 1520w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Photo-1-400x197.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Photo-1-1024x505.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Photo-1-768x379.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Photo-1-324x160.jpg 324w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Photo-1-696x343.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Photo-1-1068x527.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Photo-1-851x420.jpg 851w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1520px) 100vw, 1520px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u2018If your living room is on the large side, one of the simplest ways to create a more intimate feel is by breaking your room down into smaller zones. You could paint one of your walls a deep, vibrant colour or just a few shades darker than the rest of the room. You could also try a bright colour on the inside of bookshelves or the woodwork around windows. Creating those cosy zones within your lounge area will not only give the room a focal point but will help draw the eye in.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12896\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Photo-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Photo-3.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Photo-3-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Photo-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Photo-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Photo-3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Photo-3-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Photo-3-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Photo-3-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/04\/Photo-3-1920x1080.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re afraid of making long term colour choices, a good way to test out the impact of colour on your mood or space is to start small.
