Colour psychology shows how different colours influence the ways we think, feel and behave. Let’s break this down and take a look at each colour’s effects…

Blue

Blue is a very calming colour that can make you feel centred, relaxed and serene. Blue is a great tone to use in spaces of the home where you want to feel especially relaxed such as the bathroom or bedroom. Light blue can come across as cold and chilly, so it’s a good idea to balance this with warmer hues.

Areas of use: The bathroom is the ideal spot for the colour blue as you can create a perfect relaxing water environment.
