The role colour plays in our lives is underestimated. It can affect our mood and therefore our behaviour. However, the effect of colour is quite individual and depends on factors such as our cultural background, upbringing and personal experiences.
Colour preferences also change over time. For instance, nowadays it is pretty much accepted that blue is for boys and pink is for girls. But this was not always the case, according to historian Jo Paoletti, from the University of Maryland. She authored the book Pink and Blue: Telling the Boys from the Girls in America.
“In the early 1920s, it was fairly common to have embroidery and flowers and ruffles on boys’ clothes, but by the 1940s, that was considered pretty much feminine,” Paoletti told news and lifestyle website Racked.

Pictured Rocks combined with ink blue, clay and coffee tones will add an instant feeling of calm and create a soothing mood for your bedroom. If you have a focal area – like a desk or dressing table – why not make it a feature with a graphic paint design?

Idea two:
Instead of painting the wall in just one colour, experiment with a two-toned wall, using Dulux Luxurious Silk for a premium mid-sheen finish. You can then bring in other textures like wood, leather, velvet and silk, which will automatically create a harmonious space that is comfy and welcoming.
