April, the month when spring begins april showers brings may flowers!  What is better then pastels and light fresh colours to help liven up the atmosphere.  A palette filled with pinks, blues, and purples on this month’s colour palette is perfect to inspire those springtime projects.

Thinking about adding pink to a room?  Pink is essentially a light red and is usually associated with love and romance.  I like the way that both of these rooms incorporate pink.   Adding this light fresh pink shade brings a lot of femininity to a room and is a big colour for design in 2013.  How does pink make you feel? Do you associate pink with certain qualities or situations?

The color purple relates to the imagination and spirituality. It stimulates the imagination and inspires high ideals. It is an introspective color, allowing us to get in touch with our deeper thoughts. The colour combinations bring a sense of relaxation and calmness.  Are you not as risky when it comes to a lot of colour?  Why not bring just a pop of colour by adding a coloured pieces of furniture.  The achromatic room is paired beautifully with a touch of colour less then 5%, not a lot is needed to achieve the look.

Blue brings feelings of calmness or serenity.  It is often described as peaceful, tranquil, secure, and orderly.  Blue can also lower the pulse rate and body temperature, isn’t that neat!  Both of these spaces are beautifully done.  You can easily change up your home decor by replacing the accessories and creating a whole different colour scheme.  Or by paining the walls or one wall a different hue.  The blues in both of these rooms are soft and fresh, mixed with high contrast textures.

March Colour Palette

March, a cool crisp month usually when the snow starts to melt away and the colours of nature begin to peak through.  I started thinking about gemstones and birthstones when i remember that March colour is aquamarine.  Aquamarine is associated with faithfulness, courage and friendship.  The Green- blue mix creates a fascinating yet very popular hue this time of year.  We see it everywhere, in fashion and even in home decor.

Wether you add the pop of colour into your home decor like this vintage aquamarine nightstand/end table.  It has been accented with Stain and distressed to acquire the antique mood. You can use it as Bedroom Furniture, or as a Living Room Accent. If you are a little bolder, applying it as a wall colour can be stunning.  Creating a monochromatic scheme with the lighter shade borders in the photo gives the room substance and more texture.  What are your thoughts on this colour?

Mustard yellow another popular colour for March.  For most people, yellow is a happy colour.  It generally energizes, relieves depression, improves memory and stimulates appetite.  Yellow can add a cheerful ray to your living room you could start subtly with accessories, cushions and throws, artwork, or perhaps a small accent chair but if you wanted to go all out on the theme, paint a large accent wall in a vibrant shade or even have a sofa reupholstered.  This would be a great colour to accent in the dining room, living room or kitchen, and is great to spice up those cooler grey months.

Green is the colour of nature.  It is said to bring life and a sense of freshness to a space, as seen in fresh flowers.  Being on the cool side of the colour wheel, it can bring a sense of freshness to a space.  In other avenues of life, we attribute green with money, health, and jealousy.  In the home, though, it often tends to have a calming effect.  Which i believe everyone would like to accomplish after a stressful day at the office.  Did you know guests on TV shows wait in “green rooms” intentionally, so they can de-stress before their appearance?!  It’s true.  How do you feel about green?

Which colour do you prefer out of the three for the month of March? Let us know, we would love to hear your thoughts.

We worked on a project with one of our current Sunlight Homes owners, who wanted their basement to be fully renovated.  To give you a better idea of the depth that goes into our work. This will show you the efforts that sunlight homes puts into our pricing and visual aids.  We sent them a 3D design like this one that was made up personally for them, to have a clear visual on what the final product would look like.
