Siri speaks to Livingetc about Anti-Winter Colours
< Back to InsightsThe rain has finally stopped long enough for us to consider that Spring might be on its way. But whatever the weather, having colour in your home can brighten your mood as well as your living spaces.
What’s more, it doesn’t go out of fashion. Livingetc has featured the wonderful ochre living room in Upside Down House, first painted in 20xx.
Living etc describes golden yellows as “the archetypal temperature-boosting colors, instantly heating an area from the first daub of paint like distilled beams.”
Siri describes the room – which is in her own house – “When the outdoors is gloomy and gray, and the daylight hours are very limited, the warmth and intensity of pigment in Mylands Old Ocre are both comforting and calm. Dense and soothing like a reassuring hug at sunset, it has hints of a low-burning flame and is a reminder of balmier days. A warm ochre cave completely opposes the effects of winter, making a room energizing and optimistic. It immediately brightens the mood.”
“Depending on the hour, Old Ocre makes the walls seem to glow differently, so the room feels endlessly alive. It can move from amber honey to deep caramel throughout the day and seasons — it changes with nature.”
