Do​ ​you​ ​ever​ ​walk​ ​into​ ​a​ ​home​ ​and​ ​instantly​ ​get​ ​a​ ​specific​ ​feeling​ ​or​ ​emotion​ ​when​ ​you cross​ ​the​ ​threshold?​ ​Chances​ ​are​ ​this​ ​feeling​ ​or​ ​emotion​ ​could​ ​be​ ​triggered​ ​by​ ​the​ ​colour palette​ ​the​ ​homeowner​ ​has​ ​chosen.​ ​Wall​ ​colour ​and​ ​accents​ ​can​ ​play​ ​a​ ​huge​ ​role​ ​in​ ​the character​ ​of​ ​your​ ​home,​ ​here​ ​are​ ​a​ ​few​ ​things​ ​to​ ​consider​ ​when​ ​you​ ​are​ ​flipping​ ​through​ ​all those​ ​paint​ ​chips.

Warm​ ​Colours

If​ ​you​ ​are​ ​wanting​ ​your​ ​home​ ​to​ ​feel​ ​cozy,​ ​welcoming​ ​and​ ​rich​ ​in​ ​colour​ ​than​ ​you​ ​may want​ ​to​ ​look​ ​at​ ​the​ ​warm​ ​end​ ​of​ ​the​ ​colour​ ​scale.​ ​Red’s​ ​can​ ​make​ ​for​ ​a​ ​very​ ​romantic​ ​feel whether​ ​you​ ​choose​ ​it​ ​for​ ​your​ ​master​ ​suite​ ​or​ ​your​ ​formal​ ​dining​ ​room.​ ​Yellows​ ​bring​ ​a​ ​bright and​ ​cheery​ ​feel​ ​to​ ​a​ ​home​ ​and​ ​is​ ​a​ ​great​ ​option​ ​to​ ​brighten​ ​up​ ​a​ ​room​ ​that​ ​may​ ​be​ ​naturally​ ​dark or​ ​for​ ​a​ ​child’s​ ​room.​ ​Many​ ​people​ ​are​ ​afraid​ ​of​ ​the​ ​bright​ ​warm​ ​colours​ ​but​ ​they​ ​can​ ​offer​ ​a​ ​very unique​ ​look,​ ​if​ ​you’re​ ​not​ ​quite​ ​ready​ ​to​ ​take​ ​the​ ​plunge​ ​to​ ​paint​ ​a​ ​whole​ ​room​ ​they​ ​are​ ​also​ ​a great​ ​option​ ​as​ ​accents​ ​to​ ​add​ ​that​ ​pop​ ​of​ ​colour​ ​to​ ​any​ ​room.

Cold​ ​Colours

Maybe​ ​you​ ​are​ ​wanting​ ​a​ ​more​ ​calm,​ ​soft​ ​and​ ​cool​ ​feel​ ​for​ ​your​ ​home,​ ​if​ ​this​ ​sounds​ ​like you​ ​than​ ​cold​ ​colours​ ​may​ ​be​ ​just​ ​the​ ​answer.​ ​Soft​ ​blues​ ​automatically​ ​make​ ​a​ ​space​ ​feel soothing​ ​and​ ​calming​ ​to​ ​the​ ​soul.​ ​Dark​ ​or​ ​rich​ ​blues​ ​can​ ​also​ ​achieve​ ​this​ ​feel​ ​with​ ​the​ ​correct lighting​ ​and​ ​accents.​ ​A​ ​soft​ ​purple​ ​or​ ​lavendar​ ​also​ ​can​ ​make​ ​for​ ​a​ ​very​ ​relaxing​ ​retreat​ ​in​ ​a master​ ​suite​ ​or​ ​living​ ​room.​ ​Also​ ​don’t​ ​be​ ​afraid​ ​to​ ​try​ ​mixing​ ​different​ ​cold​ ​colours​ ​together​ ​and you​ ​may​ ​just​ ​discover​ ​the​ ​perfect​ ​harmony​ ​for​ ​your​ ​home.

Neutrals

And​ ​of​ ​course​ ​you​ ​just​ ​can’t​ ​go​ ​wrong​ ​with​ ​a​ ​timeless​ ​neutral​ ​palette!​ ​Sometimes​ ​home owners​ ​forget​ ​that​ ​there​ ​are​ ​more​ ​than​ ​just​ ​black​ ​and​ ​white​ ​in​ ​this​ ​family​ ​of​ ​colours;​ ​soft​ ​greens, browns,​ ​greys​ ​and​ ​creams​ ​are​ ​also​ ​included​ ​as​ ​neutrals.​ ​If​ ​you​ ​are​ ​wanting​ ​your​ ​home​ ​to​ ​have a​ ​natural,​ ​bright​ ​and​ ​airy​ ​feel​ ​than​ ​you​ ​will​ ​likely​ ​want​ ​to​ ​choose​ ​the​ ​neutral​ ​colours​ ​as​ ​your​ ​base and​ ​then​ ​you​ ​can​ ​also​ ​have​ ​fun​ ​adding​ ​different​ ​colours​ ​as​ ​accents.
