New Year, New Interior Choices!

By: Real Stone and Tile | Posted: January 17, 2023 in Blog

As we transition into the New Year after the close of 2022, many of us see January as the perfect opportunity for a fresh start; a time for both setting goals, and reflecting on how we can improve our everyday habits as we move forward in life.

This same process of paying more attention to revamping our routines can also be applied to our surroundings. As many say, your home is a reflection of your mind… so by this logic, taking the time to refresh your interior will likely boost your motivation for the year ahead!

If you are eager to transform your home and inject a new lease of life into your surroundings, refreshing your interior palette is a great place to start, as the colours we choose to fill our homes with not only reflect our personalities, but have also been shown in studies to have a subconscious effect on our attitude and emotions!

With this in mind, we have detailed our top mood-lifting tile styles to inspire your next project.

The Calmness of Cool Tones

Psychologists have suggested that we tend to associate cool-toned colour schemes with feelings of calmness and serenity, making this palette an ideal choice for rooms you wish to wind down in, such as the bedroom and bathroom.

Hues of blue, green & purple are super on trend, and are already making a big impact in 2023 as a popular choice for renovating homeowners. These flattering cool tones are often associated with growth, new life, and nature, and will effectively introduce a calming, indoor-outdoor feeling to your home.

The entryway is also a great place to position cool-tones as it marks the gateway into your space, and will instantly evoke a sense of relaxation after a long day.

Create a Clean Slate with Neutral Porcelain

The thought of a minimalist interior may seem daunting to those who crave that indulgent feeling of cosiness that intertwines with colour, yet many homeowners find themselves seeking comfort in muted tones for their ability to provide a clean-feeling space.

According to colour psychology studies, neutral tones such as white & pale greys signify a sense of relief, and should be used to soothe the eyes from overstimulating settings. Stripped-back shades can be a fantastic, timeless foundation for your home, and they are easy to work with. On the other hand, if you wish to introduce a bold coloured feature wall or feature floor, they can be the perfect neutral backdrop you need to make your colour pop.

Modern minimalism is often showcased in the kitchen/dining space as it helps to create more of a breezy, open-plan feeling, whilst also providing a relaxed, grounding space (to combat the stress!) of hosting and cooking.
