🎨 Mood by Design: How to Use Colour Psychology in Your Home

Ever walked into a room and felt instantly calm? Or oddly energised? That’s not just great interior design, that’s colour psychology at work.

Whether you’re revamping your lounge or just want to vibe-check your space, using colour with intention can completely transform the feel of your home. So let’s dig into the hues that heal, energise, inspire and how you can bring them home (stylishly, of course).

🖤 Black: Bold, Luxurious, Grounding

Black is the little black dress of interiors - sophisticated, dramatic, and always in style. It exudes elegance and stability, grounding a room with confidence.

Use it if you want your space to feel luxe and anchored.
Best for: Living rooms, bedrooms, or anywhere you want that plush, cocooning vibe.

💡 Try this: Our Velvet Black Tufted Sofa Bed is a moody showstopper that doubles as a functional guest bed. Dark glamour? Check.

🌫️ Grey: Calm, Cool, Collected

Grey is the zen master of colour. It’s balanced, timeless, and oh-so-modern. It calms the mind without being boring - especially in soft velvet textures.

Use it if you're craving calm but still want a little edge.
Best for: Reading nooks, lounges, or open-plan areas.

💡 Try this: Our Grey Velvet Armchair is the ultimate chill-out chair. Pair it with a warm-toned throw for a Scandi-meets-boutique-hotel feel.

✨ Champagne & Gold: Optimism, Opulence, Warmth

Warm metallics like champagne and brass bring a sense of joy, creativity, and subtle luxury to a space. They catch the light and lift the energy of the room.

Use them if you want to infuse glamour without going full Gatsby.
Best for: Entertaining zones, home offices, and anywhere that deserves a glow-up.

💡 Try this combo: The Champagne TV Cabinet paired with our Hammered Brass-Look Coffee Table = instant radiance. Chic, functional, and joyfully unexpected.

🎯 Colour Tips from the Guru:

• Use colour zones: Create mood pockets in open-plan spaces by grouping colours - calm neutrals in the lounge, energising tones in workspaces.

• Balance warm and cool: Soft greys and blacks can be warmed up with brass or champagne accents.

• Think texture, too: Velvet adds depth to any hue, making colours feel richer and more tactile.

Final Thought: Feel First, Design Second
