ROOMS

COLOURS ARE CONSIDERED active, passive or neutral, so before deciding on a palette

for a room, think about how the colours make you feel and the mood you want to create.

Choose a palette that reflects what you like and your personality – rather than trends that come

and go – and don’t go for more than four colours in a room as more can make it look busy.

For a serene bedroom, interior experts often recommend blue. It’s believed the calming

colour helps to lower blood pressure and to slow heart rate, aiding sleeping. Light purples

• such as lavender and lilac – and greens are also restful in bedrooms (living areas, too),

and help to relieve stress. Blue is also popular in bathrooms for a spa-like feel. A
