Why Bold Colour Works (Even When You Think It Won't)

The most common fear I hear from clients is about colour. "I love that deep green in your portfolio, but I don't think I could live with it." "Isn't dark paint going to make the room feel smaller?" "What if I get tired of it?"

These are completely understandable concerns. But in almost every case, the opposite of what people fear turns out to be true. Dark, rich colours don't shrink a room. They give it depth. They create atmosphere. They make a space feel intentional and considered in a way that safe neutrals simply can't.

The trick isn't to splash bold colour everywhere. It's to use it strategically. A single statement wall. A richly upholstered sofa. A dramatic ceiling colour that transforms the entire feel of a room without changing a single piece of furniture.

Here's what I've learned from years of guiding hesitant clients towards braver choices: nobody has ever regretted going bolder. Not once. The regret, if it comes, is always about playing it too safe.

If you're curious about introducing more colour into your home but aren't sure where to start, a consultation is the perfect first step. Two hours together can completely change how you see your space, and your courage.
