Your home reflects your personality. What does your favourite colour reveal about your personality? Take our quiz…

Colour is the most powerful aspect that affects both, people and the surroundings. And colour speaks volumes!! It can be silently refreshing or unfeelingly depressing. Colour has the ability to influence moods, and can make people hungry, content, excited, or calm. Even on a superficial level, colour can create physical change and emotional response.

.

The colours most repetitive in your wardrobe - the hues in your living room – on your bedcovers, soft furnishings, even your storeroom… tell a tale that can either make or mar your surroundings.

A word of caution here: There are no hard and fast rules about choosing colours. Create your own sense of harmony by creating your own colour spectrum. It really is not wise to go for a colour purely because it is in vogue at the moment - you will soon live to regret it!

Take our advise and take charge – empower yourself with the aura that is best suited to you. Go on, find out what the colours around you say about your personality…
