Let's talk about colours?



How colour can substantially affect your life, environment, decor and feelings

Because colour is a physical phenomena with its wave lengths and a particular vibration, the effects can be felt during the absence of light. In the dark, our eyes can not distinguish colour. But it is there and it impacts on us. Even when one sleeps, the effect of colour remains. It impacts on blind people as well.

That is why choosing the appropriate colour, from clothing to wall paint, is so important for our well being and looks.

The colour wheel -that we can find easily to buy- was developed nearly 300 years ago by Isaac Newton, and until nowadays is a very useful tool to combine different hues, to set a mood and to check for personal colour preferences.

Maria! What beautiful colour co-ordinates for the open concept. I am so happy...after staring at washed out, boring walls for 2 years, unable to settle on any colour, you just quietly walked and felt the colours that made my house my home.

Maria helped me through the saga of choosing the colors for my first house in Canada. She has an incredible ability to foresee the finished product and is a terrific "color coach" to both types of clients: people who have an idea of what they want and clueless people like I was! Thanks to her, my knowledge about colors has been enhanced and that will definitely make my future choices much easier.
