Brabantia introduces four new trend colors; Mineral Powerful Blue, Dreamy Blue, Soft Beige & Mineral Cosy Brown. They’re beautiful, but how do you implement these colors in your interior? And what effect does color have on your mood? Sandra from Finntage, expert in the field of color (take a look at the beautiful color explosion in her home), explains to us what color can do to your interior and to your mood.
"Colors play a very important role in our daily lives. They influence our state of mind and our mood. They can make us cheerful or calm. Color stimulates us, sharpens our senses and determines whether we find something beautiful. For example, seeing a large meadow full of colorful dahlias on a fine summer's day gives us a completely different feeling than a grey carpool lane along the motorway on a dark day. And that feeling is exactly what colour does to you."
"Create your home, with the colors you feel good about."
Color in your interior
"We want to feel good at home. So it's important to think carefully about the colors you choose for your interior. It's not just the color that affects our mood, the brightness and tone also plays a big role. A fresh light blue, for example, has a completely different effect than a deep and intense royal blue. To choose a good color for your interior, it is useful to consider what you want the room to radiate. For your study you can choose warm colors such as red, orange, earth tones or yellow. These colors give energy and are therefore often less suitable for the bedroom where you want to relax. The colors green, blue and purple are more suitable for this. These colors generally make you feel calmer.”
What color says about your character
"We know that a house often shows the personality of the person who lives there. But it's not just the style of living or the furniture that reflects your character, as colour also plays a big role. It even seems to be the case that people who have the same color preference in their interior often have similar character traits. For example, blue stands for reliable and assertive, green for positive and harmonious and grey for neutral and passive."
A wow effect
"Sometimes you see interiors where you immediately get a feeling of 'wow'. It's often difficult to say why, but you just feel that the interior is finished. If we look at why an interior has this effect, it is often the balance in colour. The right use of color creates a unified home and brings a space into balance. This balance is achieved by not using too many of the same colors, but also not using too many different colors in a room. It is often the details that make the difference. Think for example of accessories in certain colors or materials in a matching color."
A new color palette without painting
"I regularly get the question of which color works best in a certain room. There is no simple answer to this. It is all about what atmosphere and feeling you want to create with color. By playing with your own favorite colors in your interior you can give a very personal touch to your home. A splash of color can make all the difference and with Brabantia you don't even have to paint to do it."

Brabantia's trend colors
"Brabantia's new colors appeal to all aspects of your personality and life. The relaxing Soft Beige fits into any interior and adds a harmonious feel to the room. The crisp Dreamy Blue feels fresh and free, an instant dose of optimism. The popping Mineral Powerful Blue stands out and makes you feel powerful. And stylish Mineral Cosy Brown is both warm and down-to-earth. Brabantia understands that practicality can also be beautiful. Color makes your day and your days should be beautiful!"
Combine it!
"For Brabantia I got to work styling this kitchen with the new trend colors. Certain choices in color details give a completely different overall picture: if you combine two similar shades such as Mineral Cosy Brown and Soft Beige or Mineral Powerful Blue and Dreamy Blue, the overall picture is one of calm. Mineral Powerful Blue is also perfect as an accent color in a quiet kitchen and is also beautiful in combination with Mineral Cosy Brown. What is ideal about this collection is that it is very easy to combine together, so you always have a combination that fits your interior!"
