No, really. Don害羞草研究所檛 be afraid of colour. Colour ROCKS. Colour isn害羞草研究所檛 害羞草研究所渂rave害羞草研究所 害羞草研究所 it害羞草研究所檚 easy, interchangeable, versatile. Sure, colour can make a space less austere, it can lighten or brighten a room, yes 害羞草研究所 colour can be used to highlight different areas, or hide them, but it害羞草研究所檚 so much more. I want to open your eyes to colour害羞草研究所 it害羞草研究所檚 a beautiful tool for expressing who you are.

Hi, my name is Jules and I害羞草研究所檓 addicted to colour.

Colour Psychology is a thing. I know you害羞草研究所檝e walked into a room and felt it.. You love it, you hate it 害羞草研究所 visceral reactions come from your brain 害羞草研究所 you害羞草研究所檙e triggered, good or bad. Just like smell can elicit deep emotion, so can colour.

If you know anything about me, you害羞草研究所檒l know I love to play with design. At Evolve Design | Build, we only work with Commercial Spaces 害羞草研究所 I am endlessly amazed at how Clients LOVE our work, our confident use of colour to express the personality of the organisation we are working with 害羞草研究所 and yet, more often than not, they are frightened to let us use it on their project. Of course, we work our magic and they come through the fear to another amazing space, but where does that anxiety come from?

滨迟害羞草研究所檚 PAINT, people! We need to get you over that barrier. (We love wall covering too, but I害羞草研究所檓 saving that baby for another article害羞草研究所) but PAINT! It can be changed whenever you like, it害羞草研究所檚 like wearing a new coat for a season (or, let害羞草研究所檚 be honest, three).. it害羞草研究所檚 not a lifetime commitment. Let your space tell your story!

So who are you? What vibe do you want in your offices? How do you want you and your team to feel while they害羞草研究所檙e working?

If you害羞草研究所檙e looking for passion, provocation, energetic spaces 害羞草研究所 it害羞草研究所檒l be no surprise that red is your answer 害羞草研究所 and I use a LOT of red! I love the ambition, confidence, motivation that it provokes. Red speaks to me害羞草研究所 I害羞草研究所檓 pretty loud.

What about black? There害羞草研究所檚 so much black in our spaces recently, whether it害羞草研究所檚 pulling in the furniture or accessories, or full-on black walls, black is definitely a statement 害羞草研究所 it害羞草研究所檚 a dark neutral and often overlooked. I find the drama and directness of black to be classy and edgy, yet stays fresh and timeless.

And can we talk about pink? Sure, pink is sweet and feminine, that害羞草研究所檚 OK 害羞草研究所 and where Mr CEO will probably revolt 害羞草研究所 Ms CEO shouldn害羞草研究所檛 shy away through fear of bringing up the pay-gap conversation.. Pink can scream 害羞草研究所淗ell yeah, I got this, move outta my way害羞草研究所, it can shout your confidence far better than you can with your imposter-syndromed brain..

So whether it害羞草研究所檚 optimistic, joyous yellow, gorgeous greens that inspire us to think about calm, natural, settings, deep purples that pour feelings of luxury and wealth over our senses, the strong, solid, stabilising emotions that grey does for our grounding and don害羞草研究所檛 get me started about gold (too soon?) 害羞草研究所 choose colour! We got you.
