Most of us want our homes to feel personal and individual to us in some way, but it can be hard to break away from the status quo. When it comes to choosing palettes, we typically try to steer clear of obscure colors, but could they actually be the answer to curating a space that won't end up feeling unoriginal and uninspiring?
Designers say 'yes'. Choosing obscure colors is a fast-track way to elevate your home above the ordinary, but that's not to say it's an easy thing to do: it takes guts to go off-piste when it comes to color. And it's not just about considering interesting complements, either. It's also worth factoring in the effects of color psychology in interior design — there may be a deeper reason why we steer clear of a certain hue in our homes.
