You can make your home feel great by choosing the right colours and lighting. For example, bright colours and sunlight can help you feel energised in the morning, while soft, dim lighting in the evening can help you feel relaxed. You can change the mood of each room to suit what you need, like feeling calm or creative. If you try different things and use your imagination, you can make your home a happy place that helps you be productive and feel good.

Room South Facing

Shower room painted with Nordic sky

Colour: Nordic Sky

Rooms facing south, Spaces facing south ENJOY STRONG CLEAR NATURAL LIGHT, so all colours work well. However, cool shades such as blue, green and violet balance the intensity of sunlight. These shades can help you achieve a tranquil and breezy atmosphere in even the brightest rooms; this goes for greys and whites – those that contain hints of blue, green, and violet will ensure the room doesn’t feel too ‘hot’ without adding a bold colour.

Colours to try: Nordic SkyWillow Tree, Lavender Quartz, Polished Pebble, Rock Salt, Clouded Pearl 1

Room facing north

These spaces benefit from warmer shades like pink, gold and yellow tones. These colours can help you achieve a cosy, welcoming atmosphere even in rooms that lack that warm glow of sunshine. Greys and whites that contain hints of pink, gold and yellow will add more subtle warmth to your space.

Room facing East

shower room painted with Goose Down paint

Colour: Goose Down

Rooms facing east will have NATURAL LIGHT IN THE MORNING. These rooms take some extra consideration when picking colours. If the room is east-facing and mainly used in the morning or evening, then cool colours containing hints of blue, green and violet will help balance the intensity of the sunlight. 

If the room is used when the natural light is restricted, consider the type of artificial light used. Low-energy compact fluorescent bulbs cast a cool violet and pink light that can make subtle neutrals and tints look washed out. Warm LED and Halogen bulbs are for all colours.
