As we spend more time indoors this winter, it’s important to decorate our living spaces to help us feel more creative and comfortable. The colours we surround ourselves with influence our mood and can help keep us feeling inspired throughout the day.
Have you ever felt more creative in a purple room or felt energetic and lively in a red room? This is due to the brain releasing different hormones when colour transmits from the eye to the brain. Red is typically associated with making us feel more vivacious as opposed to blue which has a calming effect.
