ADD SOME ACCESSORIES.
If you’re not ready to wear colourful clothes, add some colourful accessories like a bag or earrings in an amazing bright colour. This will then brighten up any outfit.
CHOOSE COLOURS THAT WILL SUIT YOUR SKIN TONE.
If unsure, generally warmer skin tones suit warmer shades like reds, oranges and yellows. Cooler skin tones tend to suit purples, blues and pinks.
TRY ONE COLOUR FIRST.
If you are feeling brave enough, try wearing head to toe in one colour before you start clashing different hues.

CURATE YOUR WORK SPACE
Style your own working environment in colour, with blue to promote productivity, and green to promote wellbeing. Incorporate both by adding turquoise into your working background, through pictures, accessories or your desktop.
STEP OUT AND EMBRACE THE LIGHT.
Our bodies run off circadian rhythms and getting natural light in the early morning lets our bodies know it's time to get started. It’s so powerful that just a few minutes in the sun can significantly alter your mood, so step outside to get some sunlight next time you're feeling a little dark.
UTILISE THE POWER OF NATURE.
The human eye sees more shades of green than any other colour, so it’s no surprise that getting outdoors works wonders for our minds. It improves our mood, attention and promotes a feeling of being grounded.

“It’s a pleasure working with OPPO to create colourful content with their new Find X3 Neo phone. We’ve all been spending more time indoors and adding colour in our homes can make a huge impact to how we feel every day, so I’m excited to advise on how to decorate your home with colour.”
BUILD UP SLOWLY.
Identify 2-3 of your favourite colours that go together and pick a few items with similar unifying colours to decorate with, which will pop against a neutral (non-colour) backdrop. These could be cushions, an art print or other decorative accessories.
THE 60-30-10 RULE.
A simple formulaic rule to add a flair of colour! 60% is the main colour of your room, this may be the walls, larger pieces of furniture like the sofa or a large rug. Then, 30% colour are the smaller items, such as a one seater, coffee table or your curtains. 10% is the accent colours, such as cushions, prints or decor accessories.
WHITE IS ALSO A COLOUR.
If you like white, and don’t want to go crazy with colourful walls, that’s absolutely fine. White comes in different tones, plus off-white shades of grey, pinks, yellows can enhance the way you decorate your room with colours.
