Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt at ease — or the opposite, restless for no reason you could name? The answer most likely lies in the colour palette hidden in the walls, furniture, and accessories.

In interior design, colour harmony is not just about placing "matching" colours side by side — it's about telling a story. Here are the insider tips from the professionals:

1. The Golden Rule: The 60-30-10 Formula

• 60% Dominant Colour: Walls, large rugs, or sofas. Sets the foundation of the space.
• 30% Secondary Colour: Curtains, accent chairs, or a feature wall.
• 10% Accent Colour: Cushions, artwork, or small accessories.

2. Draw Inspiration from the Colour Wheel

• Monochromatic: Different shades of one colour. Sophisticated and calming.
• Complementary: Opposite colours on the wheel (blue–orange). Adds energy.
• Analogous: Colours side by side on the wheel. Creates natural flow.

3. Don't Be Fooled by the Light

North-facing rooms receive cooler light and benefit from warm tones. South-facing rooms handle cool colours beautifully. Always test a paint sample on the wall at different times of day before committing.

4. Add Depth with Texture

A velvet cushion and a linen armchair in the same colour reflect light differently, adding depth and dimension to a space.

Conclusion

Don't get too rigid about colour rules. Your home is your personal gallery. The best design is the one in which you feel most yourself.

Colour selection is harder than it looks for many people. In my interior design projects, I work with clients on colour analysis together. If you're struggling, I'd be happy to help — feel free to reach out.

Today we expect more from a space than just looking beautiful. We want to feel well inside it, to breathe, to find calm, and to feel a genuine connection with it.

For me, interior design is not simply about arranging or decorating a space. Building an invisible yet powerful relationship between the user and the space is one of the most important aspects of design.

What Does Wellness-Focused Interior Design Mean?

It aims to create an environment where people can feel more balanced — physically, mentally, and emotionally. Light, materials, colour, acoustic comfort, and the relationship with nature are all just as important as visual aesthetics.

Why Is It on the Rise?

Home is no longer just a place to live — it's a multi-layered space for rest, work, and creativity. People are increasingly aware of how a space affects them.

How Is the Psychology of a Space Designed?

Light is the most powerful layer in this process. Natural textures — stone, wood, linen — add not just aesthetics but sensory depth to a space.

Why Does the Connection with Nature Matter?

Plants, natural light, air flow, and natural materials help people feel both sheltered and connected.

Conclusion

For me, good design is not just what pleases the eye — it is design that can also touch the soul.

The first step of a project often begins with an idea — sometimes a sketch, sometimes the feel of a material, sometimes the emotion a space is meant to evoke. But the true value of design emerges not just in generating a good idea, but in bringing that idea to life through the right decisions and the right process.

Every project is a holistic process that requires thinking about context, user needs, functionality, and feasibility together. I believe the decisions made at the concept stage must be protected with the same care throughout implementation.

A creative idea alone is not enough for good design to remain strong — planning, coordination, clear communication, and attention to detail are equally essential. Every step, from material selection to on-site decisions, affects the project as a whole.

When working with clients, I focus on keeping the process as clear, organised, and transparent as possible — producing solutions that are aesthetic, functional, and buildable at every stage from concept to completion.

Because for me, good design is not what merely looks beautiful — it is design that is well planned, meticulously implemented, and creates a genuine connection with its user.
