		<description><![CDATA[Working from home, or partly from home and partly from the office, is a change that’s proving hard to reverse. Many people report higher job satisfaction, mental health and overall wellbeing than their counterparts who have returned to full-time office work. This new reality created some new interior design needs, as people looked to create or improve permanent spaces within their homes where they could continue with their jobs. A workspace is, after all, decidedly different in nature from a conventional home space such as the kitchen – unless you’re a chef, of course! Now that working from home has been with us all for almost four years, the new consideration is ongoing maintenance and/or revamping of the home office in a way that will continue to encourage productivity. Colour is an easy way to update an interior. When it comes to choosing Plascon colours for these home workspaces, there are a few handy guidelines that can be followed, and some valuable insights from colour psychology to help steer choices in the right direction.

		<description><![CDATA[If your kids have flown the nest or you’re looking for a safer place to live, you’re probably considering downsizing. With all the appeals of downsizing — like saving money, reducing clutter and less maintenance —you may still be worried about your living spaces looking and feeling small. Luckily, there are tricks of the design trade that can make smaller rooms bigger. Colour is a key part of making your room look bigger than it actually is. Along with special furniture arranging, creative lighting and the use of mirrors, the smart usage of colour can do wonders. So, how do you make a room look bigger with colour?
