Find your color inspiration

We are all emotional creatures and life constantly inspires emotions within us. Taking a hike in nature can make you feel so serene and peaceful, where a bright orange cafe might stimulate some creativity!

Color can invoke a very strong emotional response to your senses and before you decorate, take some time to figure out how you want to feel. Spend some time in that space and try to really get a feel for it.

Some basic principles to remember when trying to choose your color palette:

Yellow is welcoming and sunny
Orange can stimulate creativity and are warm and cozy
Reds are passionate, daring and intimate
Pinks are fun, positive, feminine and lively
Green represents nature and are both invigorating as well as restful and serene
Blue is connected to the sky and water so they are associated with calmness and clear thinking
Violets can be sexy while blue violets can be very spiritual

Take inspiration from around you. Take note of how colors you see really make you feel inside before selecting the best palette that will work for you!!!
