Chromatophobia is the fear of colours. It is a psychological hesitation that comes with fear of making mistakes in experimentation with colours! You can go in for small dashes of colours instead of large quantities. You can accessorize your home with colourful furnishing, wall paintings, curtains, vases, cushions, pillows, sofas etc. instead of being fearful of committing faux pas with colours; you can add small amounts of colours into your home décor to balance out colours.
You can balance colour in your home by using a lot of white and tone down the vibrant colours. You can use neutral area rug, neutral glasses and vases etc. to avoid getting overwhelmed with colours.
You can test colour of your walls first by painting a small patch instead of painting the whole room and then regretting it. You can be comfortable with your colour choice for your walls and then paint your whole house. This will take away the fear of committing a mistake with colours. Adding colours in your home brings a new life and a new energy to your home. Colours uplift your mood and fill your mind with vibrant thoughts.
Do not be afraid of colours, colours are essential to feel alive. They spice up our lives and make us feel good about it. Express you personality through colours. Do not shy away and hide behind dull greys and earthy browns always. Though, earthy browns and other neutral tones are also essential to balance out the colours in your home, they shouldn’t be the only colours gracing your décor. You should bring in bright and cheerful colours and balance them with the hues of neutral shades. Balance and harmony is the key to give way to colours in to your home and to make your home look appealing and well-coordinated in colours!
