What the colour of your home says about you

Your walls may reveal more about your personality than you realise …

Ever wondered why you were drawn to that brilliant shade of grey to paint your bedroom with?

According to colour psychologists, it could have a lot to do with your personality.

Timothy Hope, Colour Psychologist at Johnstone’s Paint said: “More people are looking to understand the meanings of the shades that they choose, to pick a décor that best reflects their personalities, or qualities that they’re looking to bring into their life.”

So, what does your colour choice say about your personality?
