Bright colours in the home

I know that lots of you are a little trepidatious  when it comes to adding a pop of colour to your home . Some of you feel that you may be  investing  in something that may be a mistake, some of you claim not to like colour - although I must say that often once clients have tried a bit of colour they see how it positively enhances their design scheme .Some of you feel that you may tire of bright colours It’s all by degree you don’t need to live in a kaleidoscope to appreciate a touch of colour in your home  .

It’s a fact that when the economy is gloomy fashion colours are bright- take a look at at what’s in the shops this spring, psychologically we need to inject some brightness in our lives so we do it through clothes .The same goes for homes -a little brightness goes a long long way.

Try it - it could be a lick of paint around an old mirror , a few brightly coloured vases picked up at a car boot or a bright rug . All of these items are instant uplifts for your home and need not be permanent if you don’t like them or you want a change .

So have a go - lift your spirits and add some energy to your home.
