Choosing the right colours for your home can feel overwhelming. With so many shades, tones, and moods to choose from, it’s no wonder that you feel like you second-guess yourself when choosing a scheme in your home.
Much like seasonal colour theory in fashion and makeup, your home has a colour palette that suits your personality. Whether you’re drawn to calming blues, bold tones or luxurious deep shades, your preferences say a lot about how you want to feel in your space.
To help you unlock the colours that truly suit you, we, at Ben The Hoose Interiors, explore the 4 unique colour personalities and how they can transform your interiors.
