How does your home make you feel? Happy and content, or dull and uninspired? Is there a room that irritates you rather than makes you unwind and de-stress? If so, it’s time to do something about it because a home that reflects who you are, and makes you feel good when you step through the door, is key to boosting your mood and wellbeing.
And the thing is, changing up a room doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. Transforming a major space such as a living room or bedroom from one that leaves you feeling flat to one that makes you feel good can be as easy as changing the colour of the walls – they are such a major feature of any room, that swapping their colour has instant impact. For bags of colour inspiration, head to Wickes. It has a huge variety of paints, from Wickes own brand to major brands including Dulux and Crown, plus a series of carefully curated on-trend colour schemes that you can apply to your home.
One of our favourites is 'Natural Drama' - its deep greens and earth tones are perfect for bringing a sense of nature indoors. If you prefer going bright, bring the sunshine in with 'Uplifting Brights' and its palette of cheerful yellows and bold blues that are just the thing for colour blocking.
Then there's 'Mellow Sunset', with its soft pink and mustard yellows that together feel like a warm hug, while the pale blues and soft greens of 'Step into Serenity' are wonderfully calming.
If you want to know more about how these colour schemes look, or play around with your own colour ideas, then make sure you check out Wickes Paint Visualiser. This brilliant online tool allows you to try out different colours in virtual rooms and, crucially, see how they appear in both natural and artificial light.
Once you’ve decided on a look that’s the one for you, the visualiser will tell you the paint that will bring your vision to life. Your happy home is just a paint pot or two away!
