Why Color is More Than You Think It is
Color is not a garnish; it's a dialogue. It speaks to our brains, our energy, our focus, and even our heart rate. Selecting furniture isn't just about looks; it's setting a mood:
The best colors for calm spaces are soft, cooler tones. Warm, natural tones help us feel comfortable. Brighter accents energize our minds. help decrease visual clutter.
During the season of the frequent gloomy and rainy UK weather, introducing color indoors is more vital to our mood.

Warm vs. Cool Tones have different functions. Warm tones (beiges, creams) make for relaxing living room tones, whereas cooler colors (blues, greys) generate brightness for the bedroom or office. The UK homes, it’s often best to have both. Cooler tones like light greys and whites for living space, to have maximum space for contrast and color experiments. And, warmer tones like beige and cream, paired with earthy hues for the perfect, homely and harmonious dining space.
