Trendy colors, colors of the year and all those amazing new interiors you see in magazines or on the internet. But what if the latest color of the year is not fitting your personality? Forget about trend colors and stay true to who you are. Your interior should reflect what you like, it should be “you”. No reason to wear the latest fashion trends if this style or color does not bring out the best in you.
But then you ask yourself: what are my colors? What is it I really like. Because we are influenced by the things we see in the shops and the magazines. And suddenly you start wearing a color that you didn't like until it became the color to go for that season. And than you wear it once and the next year you ask yourself how you could have bought that anyway.
During the “Discover your Color” coaching sessions people discover in an intuitive way their real colors. Often they are surprised by the result, but have to admit that it is really what they love. And then you can start using your colors with confidence. One or two pictures can give you already a lot of information. Then you start combining them in different ways. Take a look on the picture up here. It was the inspiration for the dining room mood board. The flowers do not only give an idea for the colors but they give also an input for the style. A beautiful romantic but still modern wallpaper can set the mood in the room. The raffia from the baskets is used for the rug and the woven chairs. The yellow touch in the wallpaper comes back as the color for the pendant.

Once I met her, I understood that she is full of energy, having the sport equipment ready to be used in-between meetings. Her interior was all white and she knew something was missing. Colourful accents was all she needed to add, to give the room the vibe she needed to feel at home.

Not everybody loves bright colors or pastels. When I met Cristiana I was surprised to meet somebody who loves a lot of dark and moody colors, with some feminine touches. She found the confirmation that she was decorating her new home with colors she will love for a long time, not just for now. Starting decorating your new home can be challenging, the color coaching can give you the boldness you need to take the right decisions.
