No, really. Donsa国际传媒檛 be afraid of colour. Colour ROCKS. Colour isnsa国际传媒檛 sa国际传媒渂ravesa国际传媒 sa国际传媒 itsa国际传媒檚 easy, interchangeable, versatile. Sure, colour can make a space less austere, it can lighten or brighten a room, yes sa国际传媒 colour can be used to highlight different areas, or hide them, but itsa国际传媒檚 so much more. I want to open your eyes to coloursa国际传媒 itsa国际传媒檚 a beautiful tool for expressing who you are.

Hi, my name is Jules and Isa国际传媒檓 addicted to colour.

Colour Psychology is a thing. I know yousa国际传媒檝e walked into a room and felt it.. You love it, you hate it sa国际传媒 visceral reactions come from your brain sa国际传媒 yousa国际传媒檙e triggered, good or bad. Just like smell can elicit deep emotion, so can colour.

If you know anything about me, yousa国际传媒檒l know I love to play with design. At Evolve Design | Build, we only work with Commercial Spaces sa国际传媒 I am endlessly amazed at how Clients LOVE our work, our confident use of colour to express the personality of the organisation we are working with sa国际传媒 and yet, more often than not, they are frightened to let us use it on their project. Of course, we work our magic and they come through the fear to another amazing space, but where does that anxiety come from?

滨迟sa国际传媒檚 PAINT, people! We need to get you over that barrier. (We love wall covering too, but Isa国际传媒檓 saving that baby for another articlesa国际传媒) but PAINT! It can be changed whenever you like, itsa国际传媒檚 like wearing a new coat for a season (or, letsa国际传媒檚 be honest, three).. itsa国际传媒檚 not a lifetime commitment. Let your space tell your story!

So who are you? What vibe do you want in your offices? How do you want you and your team to feel while theysa国际传媒檙e working?

If yousa国际传媒檙e looking for passion, provocation, energetic spaces sa国际传媒 itsa国际传媒檒l be no surprise that red is your answer sa国际传媒 and I use a LOT of red! I love the ambition, confidence, motivation that it provokes. Red speaks to mesa国际传媒 Isa国际传媒檓 pretty loud.

What about black? Theresa国际传媒檚 so much black in our spaces recently, whether itsa国际传媒檚 pulling in the furniture or accessories, or full-on black walls, black is definitely a statement sa国际传媒 itsa国际传媒檚 a dark neutral and often overlooked. I find the drama and directness of black to be classy and edgy, yet stays fresh and timeless.

And can we talk about pink? Sure, pink is sweet and feminine, thatsa国际传媒檚 OK sa国际传媒 and where Mr CEO will probably revolt sa国际传媒 Ms CEO shouldnsa国际传媒檛 shy away through fear of bringing up the pay-gap conversation.. Pink can scream sa国际传媒淗ell yeah, I got this, move outta my waysa国际传媒, it can shout your confidence far better than you can with your imposter-syndromed brain..

So whether itsa国际传媒檚 optimistic, joyous yellow, gorgeous greens that inspire us to think about calm, natural, settings, deep purples that pour feelings of luxury and wealth over our senses, the strong, solid, stabilising emotions that grey does for our grounding and donsa国际传媒檛 get me started about gold (too soon?) sa国际传媒 choose colour! We got you.
