Colour in Interior Design: How to Choose Palettes that Transform Your Home

At Med Interiorismo, we understand that colour is not just an aesthetic choice — it’s a powerful tool that can completely transform the energy and personality of your home. Selecting the right colour palette not only defines the style of a room, but also influences how we feel in it. Want to know how to use colour effectively at home? Here’s everything you need to know.

Colour as an Emotional Element

Colours have the power to evoke emotions, change the perception of space, and even improve our daily wellbeing. A poorly chosen shade can make a room feel cold or uncomfortable, while the right one can turn it into a warm refuge or a vibrant, energising space.

• Soft blues and greens bring calm, ideal for bedrooms and relaxation areas.

• Warm tones like terracotta, mustard, and beige generate cosiness, perfect for living and dining rooms.

• Neutral tones, such as off-white, light grey, or taupe, offer brightness and timeless elegance.

• Bold colours, such as yellow, coral, or electric blue, add energy to creative or transitional spaces.

How to Choose Colours for Each Room

Every room has a purpose and deserves a fitting energy. Here’s a guide by space:

Bedrooms

Choose soft and relaxing shades. Colours like light olive green, misty blue, or powdered lavender promote restfulness.

Living and Dining Rooms

Go for warm, inviting colours that encourage conversation. Think warm beige, terracotta, or soft ochre.

Kitchen

Add a pop of vibrant colour — in furniture or tiles — such as sage green or mustard yellow, balanced with white or light wood.

Bathrooms

Use fresh tones like pale blue, stone grey, or aqua green for a clean and calming feel. Pair with wood or black details for a sophisticated finish.

Interior Colour Trends for 2025

This year’s interior trends focus on organic, natural, and emotionally resonant tones. Key palettes include:

• Earthy tones: like clay, terracotta, and sand, offering a connection to nature.

• Sage and olive green: for a feeling of serenity and elegance.

• Deep blues and ink blue: bringing depth and sophistication.

• Soft peach and powdered coral: warm and intimate, ideal for cosy rooms.

• Warm neutrals: such as cream, vanilla, and linen, replacing stark whites with softer comfort.

Med Interiorismo’s Expert Tip

When selecting your colour palette, consider:

• The room’s natural light — colours change throughout the day.

• The size of the space — light tones expand, dark tones create intimacy.

• Your personal style and the materials you want to combine (wood, marble, metal…).

And don’t be afraid to mix colours: a well-placed contrast adds character and identity to any room.
