At its heart, The Colourist is a celebration, an ode to, and an exploration of colour. Colour has always been a passion of mine. I’m fascinated by how certain colours can look bland in one light and multidimensional in another, or dull next to one shade yet sing with limpid vigour next to another. There’s been so much research into colour psychology and the effect warm tones and cool tones and everything in between can have on your mood, which I love learning about. It’s one of those fields where science is catching up with instinct; interior designers have known for centuries that certain colours enhance certain moods—and the bottom line is colour brings JOY. Now, psychologists are proving it—colours are stimulating! You’re going to have to live in your home, and it should reflect your style, but it should also flatter and nurture your personality! Bring reds in to give energy, blues to promote contemplation, and yellows for optimism. I want everybody to benefit from the many powerful positive effects of good design, thoughtful use of colour, and the exhilarating, uplifting feeling one gets from having confidence in one’s interior design choices.
