Latest Colour Psychology for Interiors workshop

Colour Psychology for Interiors workshop hosted by interior designer Sophie Robinson

Another wonderful Colour workshop with a room full of colour thirsty creatives was held  earlier this month. I was thrilled to host my second Colour Psychology workshop for interiors with the immensely talented and inspirational Fiona Humberstone aka The Brand Stylist.  Fiona and I put a huge amount of love and effort into these workshops as it’s a creative outlet for us too. From selecting an inspirational event space,  Paper Mill Studios in North London, styling the room, designing the stationary and not forgetting the mouthwatering lunch by Hampstead Kitchen– always a feast for sore eyes, there is no detail that hasn’t been considered.

I love to host workshops around my passion for colour and interiors. It’s a great reason to gather a room full of people who are just as nuts about interior design as I am. It’s a day out of our daily businesses, away from clients, customers and deadlines, to talk with like minded business owners. Fiona and I treat the guests to mouth watering slide shows, mood boarding workshops and styling demo’s so the day moves quickly and there is plenty to learn and take away. The aim is also to ignite creativity and have a treaty day away from the office too.

part of the enjoyment of the day is discussing design dilemmas with each other as well as the experts

After over 20 years as a stylist I’ve accumulated a heap of knowledge and confidence on how to use colour to come up with mouth watering schemes. Something I get asked a lot- just how do I do it! Even people who work as professional interior designers can find themselves falling into a bit if a design rut and always falling back on their go-to colours.

One thing I’ve always struggled with is how to form a framework around what I do as so much of it is intuitive. Having participated on one of Fiona’s Colour Psychology workshops in 2016, I knew the same theories that Fiona applies to help brand businesses could be applied to designing interiors for clients. What I also loved about this framework is your ultimately working out what colours best suit your client and the feeling in the room that they are after. If you could have the power to initiate a colour scheme that perfectly captures your clients tastes and personality- think of all the time and misunderstandings you could avoid.

We spotted lots of light bulb moments and the mood boarding sessions where a hive of activity. My selection of fabrics, papers and paints got ravaged by thirsty creatives all wanting to implement what they had learned.

If you love the sound of creating colour schemes for your own home, then I am hosting a solo  Colour workshop on the 6th February, with the aim to help you devise your own unique colour palette that you can use throughout your house. As well as sharing my tried and tested styling and design tricks and touching on the basics of Colour Psychology to help you gain clarity on what works for you.

If you do work professionally as a designer, retailer or have a confident level of experience within interior design then come and join Fiona and I next June 2018 for our next Colour Psychology workshop suited to people who work in the Interiors industry or are confident at Interior Design.

How’s your Monday? Did you get to the shops? Dri How’s your Monday? Did you get to the shops? Drink a beer in a pub garden?! I’ve attempted train travel today  and three cancelled trains later I’m wishing I stayed at home! Anyone else not ready for this new normal yet! I’ve grown very attached to my sofa and cosy clothes this past few months!

Florals are everywhere in my home and it gives me full on joy to see them layered up on walls, on furnishings and my latest edition this hollyhock cushion. But they don’t  love me. As the blossom is bursting out this spring my hay fever is in full flow. 🤧sending love and tissues to my fellow sufferers!

Had a very busy day filming today and I got my mak Had a very busy day filming today and I got my makeup done all fancy and put on some pretty clothes. I’m exhausted because it was hard work but I also feel like I’ve had a real boost to play with some all the pretty things in all the pretty colours. Like these new pumps from @roguematilda which are giving me life! And they are flat so my feet are happy to. 😍

Thanks @swainy2021 for the style inspiration and @jadefarmiloemua for the eye bag hack! (See my stories)
It’s podcast day! And on today’s show @mad_abo It’s podcast day! And on today’s show @mad_about_the_house and I discuss the pitfalls of shopping online, because admit it, we’ve all fallen down one! Whether it’s find out your forest green sofa is shiny teal (mentioning no names Callum) to discovering the dining room chandelier is no bigger than one of pat butchers earrings. 
Swiftly moving on we interview the fabulous @_paintgirl , creative director of paint brand @littlegreenepaintcompany who explains why there is a thirst for neutrals right now and how to pick the perfect shade. I’m currently giving my living room a refresh and for one nano second considered a neutral for the walls. 😳 But then I had a chat with myself and remembered that leopard is a neutral. There, I feel so much better! I hope you love the show, it’s the last in the current series. Kate and I will be having a short lie down and then back with a bang on 15th of April. I can promise you an awesome series we have planned with some know guests! So make sure you subscribe and why not leave us a little review if you get a moment. We read them all you know! Thanks to @katetaylorldn for producing the show.

Everyone talks about a room with a view but making Everyone talks about a room with a view but making a view through to a room is just as satisfying. It’s something I always think about when designing a house and I love the way colour and pattern can link one room into the next. I use repetition of pattern, colour and materials to help a home have flow. This gorgeous blue is my main linking colour, rolled out in the hall then picked up in the ticking stripe fabric in the curtains and Artemis wallpaper. When you have maximalist tendencies like me, having a tight palette helps make it all work, and repeating colours and similar patterns help make a rather eclectic home feel cohesive. I’ll be sharing more insights into how to make the maximalist style work on my live masterclass on Thursday evening. Come join me, link up in my profile to book your place because once you embrace the maximalist in you, you open up to the pleasure of decorating from your hearts desire!

Happy Sunday! I’m relaxing on the sofa enjoying Happy Sunday! I’m relaxing on the sofa enjoying the view of one of my favourite paintings by my dear friend @bethpartridgeart . Filling your home with wonderful artwork is a great way to bring the colour joy, create a stunning focal point and help your home feel unique. Installing a striking piece of art in my room schemes is integral to helping a room hang together. This piece has the most incredible palette of colours that link to other parts of the room, like the fabrics and furnishings. I love the neon pop of yellow and pink you can find amongst all the beautiful inky blues. You don’t need to match you artwork to your colour scheme but it can help to make the whole thing really sing. Picking a piece of artwork you love can be the starting point to creating something wonderful. So big love to all you amazing artists out there for making our homes feel wonderful.
