Unlocking the power of colour for your wellbeing

A colourful guide to happiness and productivity

When suffering with a bad mood or low energy, you might try several things before thinking that a part of your environment is causing your discomfort. Often, the simplest changes can give you what you need, and one of those could be as basic as adding some colour.

We all have colours we love, colours we hate, and colours we don’t care about. The colours you surround yourself with every day can affect your mood, your energy levels and how you experience the world.

The sunny side of yellow

The colour of sunshine, hope, and happiness. The eye sees yellow first, so it makes you feel instantly happier when you walk into a yellow room. This color instantly lifts your mood, feeds your zest for life and triggers your desire to create!

Best use: yellow is best used in kitchens or living rooms where family activities and socialization take place. But temper the yellow with soft, pale greys or muted whites to tone down the vibrancy of the yellow.
