Then, if you want to work with architects with a real passion for high end residential architecture in London, you can talk to us.

Colours

Neutral colours have been very popular for a long time. In fact, for over a decade grey has been one of the most common choices for homes. It provides a lot of benefits, including versatility, timelessness, simplicity, and easy maintenance. However, it’s not the most joyful colour, especially when it is everywhere.

If you want a bit more joy in your home, splashes of vibrant colour can do the trick. Think about colour psychology here and the kind of feelings you want to evoke. Orange is a really good choice because it feels fun, energetic, and warm.

Lighting

Leading on from colours, if you want to make a home more joyful, you need to make sure it is full of light. Dull, dim, dreary spaces do the opposite, tending to feel oppressive and sometimes a little bit sad. Light and brightness is better, especially daylight. It can boost mood and vitality. In addition, it can make those vibrant colours you choose stand out. Speak to us about residential architecture in London.

Play

Growing up doesn’t mean you should stop playing. In fact, it’s even more important to make time to play to help you de-stress and have fun. If you want to make your home more joyful, make sure you have space for play and to enjoy whatever you love.

Passion projects

As well as making space to play, you should ensure your home has space for you to enjoy your passions. Love reading? Create a cosy nook where you can settle in and have some peaceful time to yourself. Arts and crafts? Dedicate a space for it. You’ll feel more joy by being able to spend time comfortably doing what you enjoy, and it’ll also encourage you to do it more often.

The layout

One thing we love about designing residential architecture in London is ensuring homes have the perfect layouts. It can make them more joyful. For example, you can ensure you have spaces for playing and your passions. On top of that, you can consider the little things that would give you joy every day like being able to enjoy a hot drink on a balcony with a lovely view. Even something as simple as the placement of bedrooms in relation to noise sources can help because it ensures you get better sleep.

Fill it with the right things

Quirky objects, art, flowers, and plants all help make homes more joyful. They can lift your mood and also make the home feel more you. Ensure you choose carefully and place them in the right locations for the best impact. However, try to avoid overdoing it or it’ll feel too cluttered.
