How colour affects our emotions
Art does not just make a space look good. It tells stories, evokes emotions and transforms interiors into meaningful sanctuaries.
Colour is the heart and soul of art and influences the emotions a space evokes.
It gives you comfort, energy and inspiration and it is the silent architect of mood. Colour speaks volumes with its own eloquent language. Think of Rothko's haunting shades of red that make you think, or the soft pastels of impressionist gardens that make you feel calm and serene.
Colours are always active.
They bring life to art and connect with the spirit of a space and its people. When it comes to interior design, colours are more than just an artistic choice - they can actually influence how a space feels. Warm tones like red and yellow give dining rooms a real energy boost. They make people talk and make rooms feel cosy. Cool tones (blue, green) are great for bedrooms and other quiet, serene spaces. Neutral tones (such as taupe and cream) help create a balanced look that makes textures and small details stand out. By combining art with carefully chosen colours, you can create a space that feels vibrant, calm or timelessly elegant. From an office with a touch of bold pop art to a zen-like bedroom with soft ocean tones, a thoughtful mix of colour and art can really bring a space to life.
How to choose art for your space?
1. Think about your colour scheme - make sure the art you choose matches existing shades.
2. Look at the light - see how the art looks in natural and artificial light.
3. Think about the space - make it lively or calm, depending on what you want to use the room for.
4. Mix it up - strong contrasts create interest.
5. Choose what you love - choose something that appeals to you emotionally.
Decide
Art and its colours are more than just a pretty face - they reflect our identity, the stories we live and the emotions we cherish.
