Colour affects mood and the wall colour of your garden studio, the feel of the room.
In a tree-lined garden, green reflections may invade, regardless of your colour choice but can be both complemented and contrasted to create the right note of inspiration or sense of relaxation.
Green tones allow the garden to come right in, as if there was no boundary between the inside and the outside at all.
Green has a calm, fresh feeling and tends to induce relaxation.
Deep shades carry overtones of wealth and may make an appropriate contrast wall.
Browns give the impression of honest, genuine truth.
Abundant in nature, soothing and reliable.
Blue rooms are interesting in the way they affect inhabitants.
For example, many garden studios are used as private gymnasiums and weightlifters are apparently able to lift heavier weights in blue gyms.
Generally, cool and loyal, blue is a productive colour in office environments.
In an office, a blue wall seems to increase productivity, perhaps by way of the mind's perception of sky-blue as spaciousness and an aid to concentration.
Yellow in moderation is a happy, focused colour which is thought to increase metabolism and aid concentration.
It can be overpowering if surrounded by yellow as it tends to flare tempers.
Using a red accent colour is good for soft furnishings.
Empowering red is emotional and stimulating; the reason so many dining rooms and boudoirs have this wonderful hue.
Rather emotionally intense for whole room décor though.
For an inspirational, heart-racing effect, a red wall or yellow accent would serve well.
For relaxation, a green or blue toned space may work best.
For focus, drive and impressions of loyalty and honesty, work with blues and browns or wood effects.
Using white as a base, your room can serve any purpose and will enjoy a sense of spaciousness.
Using a luxury, large patterned wallpaper on just one wall is a fabulous way to invigorate the space.
Papers are available today in all colours so can be used as an accent.
In a small room, try using your beautiful paper as a focus within a picture frame, picking out and mimicking the main colour with a few cushions or a rug.
Then the effect is not overpowering.
Choosing your colour scheme to suit the function of the room can only enhance your experience of using your garden studio.
Most are left with a blank white canvas which, as a minimalist, I feel very comfortable with.
However, I have a wild bohemian side that wrestles to explode when I see a good colour and pattern combo used.
There is something aesthetically exquisite about spending time in a room that has been carefully dressed for purpose.
Creatives may need bold splashes of colour, pinks and yellows.
Medics may want a soothing arena, natural tones of green and brown.
Fitness fanatics, a fresh invigorating space with blues, whites and greens.
Inspiration is never far away with the right colour palette.
