Colours are among each and every aspects of life. Nature is the grandest provider of all varieties of shades. Nature marks its presence everywhere and that is proven when noticing colour in every part of daily life. Colour comes to life in clothing, furniture and in a home when painting the walls in the desired tint. Each colour tone has a significance and it will invite a specific type of energy into the room. For example by placing a buoyant red couch in a living room or a library room, it will bring a vibrant splash of colour and passion into the equation. Sometimes only one dab of colour will completely transform room and make it a more lovely space. 

Life without colour is a stagnant thing without movement. Since so many shades of paint are available to colour the walls, a careful attention must be paid when deciding which tint will fit in the home. It always comes down to one's personality and the atmosphere that one wishes to bring in. The following inspirations will help anyone seeking to augment their living quarters with lively and beautiful colours.

Yellow

Green

Purple

This kid's bedroom has been coloured with the lovely purple hue which is perfect for inspiring awareness and imagination in the little loved ones. Just like lilac flowers, the colour purple envelops and is a dreamy hue. This shade will offer peace of mind, calmness, imagination, comfort as well as a space to dream and meditate.

Turquoise
