A Celebration of Colour
For a lot of us, the thought of committing to anything beyond neutral in the home is a daunting prospect. The old fashioned magnolia or grey perhaps feels like the fail-safe option, the easy sell. Maybe the plethora of colours and inspiration we have access to is just too much of a minefield that we just don’t know where to begin. Perhaps you live in a rental property where you’re unable to submerge your walls in that jewel green that makes you weak at the knees. Or it may be that a monochrome scheme really is what serves you best. (Image credit: Little Greene Paint Company).
Homes don’t need to exist in technicolour for them to be colourful; a home that makes you smile is a colourful home.
Adding the right colours (in the right measure) can bring more happiness than you realise.
We understand that colour impacts our mood and so the colours we choose to live with can ultimately affect our own wellbeing and happiness. (Image credit: Pinterest).
In this blog post, we will share some inspiring imagery of spaces that utilise colour in a number of ways; hoping to inspire and also show you what is possible in your own space.
At Project Home, we are anti-trend and we’ll always encourage you to choose colours that are right for you. If you are a person who struggles with making a choice for their home, or have reservations when choosing a shade, we offer an intuitive and eye-opening colour consultancy; tapping into colour psychology to guide and give you the confidence to make the best choice for your home.

Drench The Walls
When it comes to revamping a space or wanting to use a colour you love, there is no better way than going full steam ahead and painting a room from its head to its toes (Image credit: Farrow and Ball).

Get Creative With Smaller Density Paint Jobs
This could be where you test a smaller section in a room as an avenue of exploration or make a stand out statement like Suzy Hoodless has here in painting a large doorway in a cheerful yellow hue. (Photo Credit: House and Garden).
More paint tricks to consider….
At Project Home, we relish and encourage colour in all forms. We like everything from a moody hue to a glossy bright and appreciate each and every colour for their mood-inducing glory.
The rooms that drown in it, we adore, but we also respect a space that has a single pop of colour in one distinctive piece of art, cushion or vase; that then almost becomes even more appreciated for its stand out status in an otherwise uniform space.
Accessorise
The fastest and potentially most cost-effective option to elevate a space.
Whether thats a choice of something that you love that brings an eye-catching contrast, a cushion, a book, a painting, or even just a bunch of colourful fresh blooms. (Photo Credit: Bed Threads).

Up-cycle Tired Or Lifeless Furniture
At Project Home we love an up-cycle project; it is a great way to transform and bring colour or a new dimension to your room. It’s also a more sustainable choice for your home. This is a great example of an Ikea ‘Ivar’ shelf after a little bit of red gloss TLC. (Photo Credit: @Mernee).
