There was a time when neat tiles with complementary cabinetry and a mirror on the wall were enough for your bathroom. Today tells a different story as home owners are now in favour of adding feature walls that make a statement. Experts attribute this trend to people wanting to create personalised spaces throughout the home.

Colour plays an important and interesting role in our lives; it has a direct and indirect influence on the body and mind, as well as emotions, and can be used to balance all three. For our homes, colour can be used as a form of expression, to create different moods and visual illusions. Home owners can translate the current colour trends through the treatment of walls, floors and soft furnishings.

Colour often allows us to express who we are. It helps us to reflect our moods, attitudes, and feelings. In a home, colour can also create the illusion of space, liven up a drab or ordinary living space, add warmth and bring in light dependent on the style, texture and colour choice.

It’s hard to imagine a world void of colour. Yet some people find themselves too hesitant to fill their interior spaces with a combination of colourful tones; instead they choose to settle for a mundane palette.
