As we embark on a new year, what better way to embrace a fresh start than by adding a little colour to your living space? Welcome to the realm of DIY Colour Therapy, where simplicity meets vibrancy without breaking the bank.
Palette Play
Energize your walls with a burst of colour. According to colour psychology insights from Psychology Today, hues like calming blues or invigorating yellows can evoke positive emotions and set the tone for a vibrant year ahead. Consider accent walls or DIY abstract murals to channel your creativity and lift your spirits. Pinterest is full of inspiring ideas to get you started!
Thrifted Treasures
One person’s trash is another person’s treasure, or so the saying goes. Embark on a thrifting adventure to uncover hidden gems that will add character to your space. Thrift shops are a treasure trove of affordable finds, from colourful throw pillows to unique and quirky artwork. But, remember, in an attempt to manage clutter, don’t go empty-handed. Drop off any unwanted items before you shop!
Botanical Bliss
Introducing the Pantone colour of the year for 2024 – Blossom! This rejuvenating hue, a delicate blend of soft pinks and greens, symbolizes growth and renewal. Incorporate this palette into your home on your walls, an accent pillow, with potted plants or floral arrangements to foster tranquility and positivity.
