Up your Interior Design game with Colour Psychology

Colour Psychology for Interior designers is a unique curse run by Brand Stylist Fiona Humberstone and interior designer Sophie Robinson

It’s no surprise that I’m absolutely fascinated by the rich and diverse world of colour and I’m fascinated how the psychology can provide a framework to pull together colours, textures, pattern and styles that will work together. As a designer it’s something I get to indulge in every day, and after twenty years in the bizz my use of colour has become really instinctive and playful, which I love. However I’m always up for digging a bit deeper and discovering something new, and drilling down to find out why some things work and how I might find it easier to enable others to share my passion.

Colour psychology fir creatives is an event hosted by The Brand Stylist

I attended Colour Psychology for Creatives, hosted by The Brand Stylist, in 2016.

One of the big game changers for me was attending the ‘Colour Psychology workshop for Creative’s’, hosted by branding exert Fiona Humberstone, AKA The Brand Stylist.  It was one of the best courses I’ve attended and energised and enriched the way I view colour scheming.I signed up mainly because I’m always thirsty to learn more about my chosen field and but also because I’d loved Fiona’s first book ‘ How to style your brand’. (Anyone with a creative business or blog should buy this now!)

How to Style your brand by Fiona Humberstone is the book on creating abrand identity and using colour psychology to create a strong and coherent barnd

If you do one thing to improve your brand, business or blog, then start by buying this book!

The course, along with all The Brand Stylist books, is focused on helping you find your business brand identity. The knowledge I gleaned from one days workshop went towards the complete rebrand and redesign of my business website, instagram feed and blog. I also felt highly energised by such an inspiring and informative event, surrounded by like minded entrepreneurs. And anything that ignites the passion and fire for your business is always money well spent in my view.

“Essentially colour psychology provides you with a framework to be able to pull together colours, textures, type, pattern and photographic or illustrative styles that will work together. It’ll help you communicate consistently and coherently and both reassure and compel your current and prospective customers to do business with you.”

Fiona Humberstone, The Brand Stylist

 

I strongly felt that Fiona’s theory on Colour Psychology could be so easily be transferred from brand identity to creating colour palettes for room schemes, where the client is the brand if you like. So many people I talk to struggle to pick their own colour palettes, or have complete paralysis at choosing a paint colour. As interior designers it’s our job to steer the ship but it’s a big responsibility as colour is so emotive, which is why we decided to team up and devise a Colour Psychology course for professional Interior Designers.

Colour fr creatives is a course run by Fiona Humberstone, The brand stylist

Fiona runs game-changing courses and retreats, both online and around the world.

 

“Everyone views colour differently and has different emotional reactions to hues, but Colour Psychology helps you to understand how certain personality types will respond.”

Fiona Humberstone, The Brand Stylist

 

What I learnt from Fiona’s approach to Colour psychology enabled me to understand with more accuracy why certain palettes work, or more importantly why they might not work for a particular project. It provided me with an insight, some clear guidelines that enabled me to quickly compose a concise and coherent scheme. As designers, concocting delicious schemes is what we do, but this goes beyond tear-sheet chic and provides something with more provenance, and emotional connection that is sourced from the personality of the client. As a designer it gives you confidence to steer your client in the right direction, but with the final destination being a place they can call home.

“Colour works on a subconscious level, faster than words or images and creates a gut response. By understanding how colour psychology works you can create a colour scheme that feels as good as it looks.”

Fiona Humberstone

 

So for ease of understanding the colour psychology theory is divided into four seasons. These seasons represent four different personality types and will determine the tones of colour, shapes and patterns you combine. In order to create a cohesive scheme you need to commit to one season, possibly with a second as a subordinate. Each season is very emotive with the aim is to capture the personality.

Over the next few blog posts I’ll delve a little deeper into the four seasons; namely spring, summer, autumn and winter. You’ll have an immediate connection with one of them and it might just revolutionise how you look at colour!

Lockdown has its unique stresses and I’m making a pact to be gentle on myself and everyone around me. Let me know what your coping strategies are right now. Mine today is makeup and big earrings.

Friday! 🤩 It’s all about the small wins and Friday! 🤩 
It’s all about the small wins and I made it to the end of the week. But already 2021 has me feeling weary. I had such a lovely relaxing  Christmas break and this week has been full steam ahead with all kinds of 💩 thrown at me and I haven’t even started home schooling yet! 😫 But one thing that gave me a mood boost was dressing up in this magnificent gown from @las_ninas_textiles . I met fellow colour lover Nina on these squares and just adore her brand, her ethos and her fringe. Thank you Nina for your beautiful gift of colour joy! It really has shone a Latin rainbow on a dismal grey British week. This stunning indigo and huipil dress even has little threads of glitter running through it. 🌈 I’m pairing it with cosy leggings and my trusty @grensonshoes boots so I might never take it off! 
What do you do to cheer yourself out of the doldrums?

The year we stayed at home. 2020 has taught me to The year we stayed at home. 2020 has taught me to care and love the simple things. And in many ways I’m blessed that being at home is often just where I want to be. The year ahead still holds so many unknowns and managing fears, expectations and anxieties will continue to be part of the battle.  But making a house a home can really help us feel safe and grounded. So here are some beautiful flowers, and rainbow baubles that go towards making my home feel the best it can. How do you make your home feel extra special and bring a smile to your face 😊?

Hello!!! How ARE you?! I’m loving this twixmas t Hello!!! How ARE you?! I’m loving this twixmas time, having long lie ins, reading loads, and on that subject currently ‘Think like a monk’ by @jayshetty is PERFECT right now for a mental reset. I’m resisting thoughts of 2021, of work or ‘real life’, for just a couple more days. I see lots of people clearing down the decorations and getting the house feeling fresh, but I’m keeping the twinkle a little longer. But I can feel the batteries are recharging and boy they needed too! I meant to do my yearly vision board today but couldn’t get motivated to do that either! . How are you all doing. Anyone feeling ready to take on the new year yet?  #tapfordetails
