Returning from vacation is always bit traumatic: dead the grey landscape of the city, scarcely lit offices and sterile environments? Do you miss the warm sunlight, crystal clear blue sea, or the luscious green mountain landscape on that postcard? No problem! Just bring a bit of colour into your home....

Bid farewell to white walls and minimal-chic decor!
To warm up your home and your heart all you need is paintbrushes, rollers and yellow paint. Yes, colour , but not only on your walls. It's important to consider all the elements in the room: furniture, window treatments, pictures, even trinkets. If you don't dare paint the entire room, you can still brighten it up with a few cleverly placed accent pieces in that colour.

According to chromotherapy

the colour yellow, associated with the third chakra, symbolizes expansion, renewal, change, joy of living; it's perfect for brightening up any rainy September day, and bring a warm glow to spaces that lack natural sunlight.

Try it in the kitchen: it stimulates digestion, boosts the lymphatic system, facilitates the removal of toxins and, in conjunction with white, immediately grants a sense of "cleanliness" to the space and highlights the natural colours of food. According to Feng shui, the ancient tai doctrine followed by many interior designers, green is another good choice for the kitchen: it stills our hunger pangs and makes us feel sated.

Lemon yellow is also ideal for any space where people need to concentrate: studies, offices, schools...
The colour of the sun not only accelerates learning, boosts vitality and energy but also enhances creativity, growth and combats depression by stimulating the left-side of the brain.

Feel free to experiment with different colours and light effects: paired with orange yellow grants a cheery feel to sitting rooms, intensifies mnemonic functions and stimulates communication.

Other than its palest shades, yellow should be banned from bedrooms and spaces used for rest in general: opt for pastels or relaxing shades of blue instead.

We recommend choosing a shade of yellow based on the type of artificial light in the room: incandescent lights will compliment light yellows, halogen lights the more daring and intense yellow ochres, while warm yellows usually look best when paired with fluorescent lighting.
