Did you know all colours affect people in different ways? It's important to think about this before choosing a colour for a certain room or space in your house. And as well as affecting your mood, it's also the perfect opportunity to express yourself! 

You can match the psychology and personality of your colour with the purpose of your room, for example, a cheerful colour is ideal in a space you want to feel energised but won't work so well if you want a calm space. When you're choosing your paint, remember to factor in the gloss level and always test your colour with a Resene testpot to make sure it suits your space. Designer Hamish Dodd has shares his top tips for choosing the colours in your home. Watch the video above to learn more.
