Oh, it’s like a secret diary written in paint. Bright, warm hues can mask a storm, while muted, cool tones often whisper that something’s not quite right. People tuck their worries into the corners of a room, hiding them behind a cheerful mural or a bold rug. But sometimes that very same bold splash pulls the eye, forcing a look at what’s underneath. It’s all about balance – the right palette can calm, while the wrong one can expose. I love spotting those subtle clues, like a hidden sketch in a vintage wallpaper that hints at a quiet fear. It’s the little details that make a space feel lived in and, at the same time, honest.
