The Power of Colour in Interior Design: How Abstract Art Can Transform Your Home
Are you ready to let colour lift your mood and breathe new life into your space? Then let’s explore the power a colourful abstract painting can have in your home.
For me, colour isn’t just part of my work — it’s the heartbeat. It’s the thing that transforms a blank wall into something alive, and a plain room into a place that feels like you, one you are proud of and love spending time in.
In this post, I want to share how bold, joyful colour — especially through modern abstract art — can completely change the feel of your home, spark creativity, and make every day a little brighter (and let’s face it we all need that from time to time).
Why Colour is More Than Just Decoration
It’s been proven colour isn’t superficial. It speaks directly to how we feel. Cool blues and soft greens can create a sense of calm, while golden yellows and fiery oranges radiate warmth, optimism, and energy. So it should come as no surprise that surrounding yourself with colours that resonate with you is a way of looking after your emotional well-being.
As an artist, I often see how people react to my paintings when they visit the gallery — their eyes light up, their shoulders drop, they smile. That’s the magic of colour working instantly, without words. Quite simply - It makes them happy.
Dopamine Décor – Art That Makes You Feel Good
You’ve probably heard of dopamine — the “feel-good” chemical in our brains. Surrounding yourself with colours you love can boost its release, giving you a natural lift in mood and motivation. A single bold abstract painting can become a daily dose of joy, grounding you on tough days and energising you on good ones, you may have noticed I often refer to my paintings as ‘Art To Make Your Walls Dance’ - and that feeling radiates around the room: the energy of the paintings directly influences the space and people within it.
Choosing Contemporary Art That Speaks to You
Follow Your Gut – Pick pieces that make your heart leap. Don’t overthink it.
Be Brave with Scale – A large, vibrant painting can anchor a whole room. I particularly love to create bold, large scale paintings which have big impact.
Layer and Mix – Create interest by combining different sizes, colours, and textures.
Match the Mood – Soft blues for calm spaces, zesty yellows for lively rooms.
Make Your Home as Colourful as You Are
Your home should be more than functional — it should inspire you. My colourful abstract paintings are created to bring energy, warmth, and individuality into your space. Whether you choose a ready-to-hang piece or commission something in your perfect palette, the goal is the same: to surround you with colour that makes you feel good, every single day.
