5 Reasons You Should Add Colour Into Your Interiors

Colour plays a pivotal role in interior design, influencing the atmosphere, functionality, and overall aesthetic appeal of a space. Beyond merely adding visual interest, colour has the power to evoke emotions, alter perceptions of space, and affect mood. Below are five reasons why you should add colour into your interiors;

REASON ONE

PERSONAL STYLE + EXPRESSION

Colours allow you to express your personality and style within your living space. Whether you prefer bold and vibrant hues or soft and muted tones, the colour palette you choose can reflect your individual taste and create a space that feels uniquely yours.

REASON TWO

MOOD ENHANCEMENT

Different colours evoke specific emotions and moods. Warm colours can create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, while cool colours promote a sense of calm and tranquility. By strategically using colours, you can influence the mood of each room to suit its purpose.

REASON THREE

VISUAL INTEREST + BALANCE

Colours add visual interest and prevent a space from feeling monotonous. A well-balanced colour scheme can draw attention to key elements in a room, such as accent furniture, artwork, or architectural features. It helps create a dynamic and visually pleasing environment.

REASON FOUR

ILLUSION OF SPACE + LIGHT

Lighter colours can make a room feel more spacious and airy, while darker colours can create a sense of coziness and intimacy. Clever use of colour can also enhance natural light or compensate for a lack of it. Mirrors and reflective surfaces in conjunction with strategic colour choices can make a room feel brighter and more expansive.

REASON FIVE

COORDINATED DESIGN ELEMENTS

Colours provide a framework for coordinating various design elements in a room, including furniture, fabrics, accessories, and artwork. A thoughtfully chosen colour scheme ties everything together, creating a cohesive and harmonious look.

Testimonial - Client Story

“I am certain Twill’s expertise saved us a meaningful amount of money as the team were able to suggest affordable – yet still durable and beautiful - solutions”

The Twill team gave me such exceptional guidance through the building of our home. They worked hard to get a feel for my style and then suggested gorgeous finishes and products – such as tiles, vanities, and exquisite curtains – that were a perfect fit. They were also incredibly generous with their expertise. I could do my own imagining and planning and scouting for products (which is possibly the most exciting part of a new build) with the knowledge that if I was unsure, I could get in touch, and they’d steer me right.

I would recommend Twill Interiors without reservation. My husband and I did four significant renovations before we did this build, but this was the first project where we worked with an interior designer. If we ever build or renovate again, Twill will be the first team I line up for the project! It was a very effective collaboration and the result is a home that feels like ours, not like a showhome that’s been designed and styled by someone else for us to move in to.
