Houseproud Brits show their true colours
What do your interiors say about you?
While it seems set to be a bleak winter, more and more people believe that brightening their homes can be an effective way of brightening their mood. In fact, new research from Crown Paints has shown that our choice of colours can say more about us than we might think.
According to this research, people in Wales tend to gravitate towards rich hues, like red and burgundy, when sprucing up their homes. These colours are often associated with intensity and confidence - attitudes naturally applicable to the passionate Welsh stereotype.
Other regional trends are not so clean cut. Research found that pastel pinks and purples were more popular in Scotland, and are supposed to represent a soft and gentle character.
While people in the Midlands, South West and Northern Ireland would rather revive their residences with creams, duck egg blues and chocolate colours, Londoners tend to go for really vibrant shades.
However, it still remains that, nationally speaking, the great majority of us still opt for the safer cream and whites.
