Product Review: Argos Colour Match

We were recently asked to take part in the Colour Match Argos  Personality Test.  I did the survey and after answering all the questions honestly the survey comes up with a summary of my personality and a colour scheme to match. 

I finished the survey landing on 'the weekender- A happy house is top of the list but The Weekenders just don’t get to spend enough quality time there during the week. Long hours and night-shifts mean that, when it comes to enjoying personal space, the weekend is a winner. Comfy and relaxing during the day, impressive entertaining spaces at night.' This does sound like us. Although I'm at home during the week daddy is often doing long, long hours and our home look very different during the week as it's transformed into a space for my Childminding and often very busy and buzzing.

The colour's on the other hand I would say was less like us at the weekends but more of the colour's I have around the home when childminding. For our own furnishing I normally go for less exciting ones such as the nesters or leave me be's.

We were sent a lovely collection for goodies which have now been placed around the house in different rooms. P was quick to grab and all the pink things for her bedroom and the lamp is now placed in our bedroom. 

Here are 5 Top Tips from Colour Psychology Expert Karen Haller to add Personality to your Home. I think maybe I need to have a look at these to liven up our home.

1.       Simply add colour

The simplest and easiest way to instantly add your own personality to your home is through colour.  Adding colour to your home doesn’t mean getting the paintbrushes out. It can be as simple as buying a bunch of flowers, a colourful bowl of fruit or home ware accessories.

2.       Trust your instinct
We all have different personality traits and behaviours. So pick the colour tones that resonate with your personality, those you are instinctively drawn to. This means they’ll have a positive impact on how you feel and how you behave in your own home. If you’re unsure, you can find out your perfect personality colour through the ColourMatch test on www.argos.co.uk/ColourMatch.

3.       Use colour to match you mood

You only need a splash of colour to change the mood of a space. Something as simple as scatter cushions on your sofa, a colourful kettle in the kitchen or a lamp in the living room can instantly change the mood of a room and how it makes you feel. That’s why I’ve been working with ColourMatch from Argos to make it even easier to find your ‘perfect colour’.

4.       Decorating your home is an extension of you
So many of us create a home to make other people happy. They aren’t living in it, you are.

Take your time finding the things and the colours you love. You’ll be creating a home that nurtures you, that loves you back.

5.       Have fun
Colour isn’t something to be fearful of. Experiment. If it doesn’t feel right then play around with the colour tones, the proportions, the placement until it feels right for you.

ColourMatch from Argos has created a simple test making it easy for anyone to identify which colour best reflects your personality at home. To find out your visit www.argos.co.uk/ColourMatch
