Don't underestimate the power of colours

Did you know that a human eye can see about 7,000,000 colours? Scientists say that colours can put us in a good mood but on the other hand they can also irritate us and cause headaches. Some colour combinations are healing and help us relax.

So, let’s have a look at what I found out about colours and what they can do for us:

Green – one of my favourite colours and very popular as well (from a selling point of view). Green means nature, healing, love and has a calming effect. About 25 years ago I remember my Grandmother sitting in the garden and saying “look at the grass for half an hour a day and your vision will be better and your mind will be relaxed.” And Grandmas are always right! I love plants and flowers, however I am not the greatest when it comes to looking after them – my mum is and her house is full of gorgeous plants and I have to say I get a bit jealous. They definitely bring a positive energy to any room.

Blue – it is said that a blue colour has a calming effect on people. It is recommended for people with stressful jobs to have blue walls or sofas in their room so they can relax. Blue is not the colour I would choose for my launch but I visited my friend a few weeks ago and her sofas are blue, also some of her accessories are blue and beige and it looks great!

Purple – another relaxing colour - encourages sleep so if you have sleeping problems this would be a great colour for your bedroom.

Red – a colour of passion and stimulation may increase your appetite. I noticed that when I buy colourful sweets for my son, first colours he reaches for are red and orange, normally blue ones are the least appetizing.

Orange – another great colour full of energy, joy and creativity. Apparently, if you have difficulties getting up in the morning this is the right colour for your bedroom. I think I will try it and get some orange bedding – oops, now you know my secret – I am not an early bird...

Yellow – the colour of sun, activity, tension release. Yellow has a positive effect and keeps us concentrated. Walls in my house are mostly yellow (light) to help my rooms feel bigger and brighter

My favourite colours are green, orange, turquoise and red – as you can see I really can’t decide what’s my favourite ONE colour as l like so many of them – how about you? Tell us about colours in your house – do you think they have an effect on your mood and how do you choose your colours?

VAMA Decor is all about colours – our products are very colourful and cheer up any room – take a look if you can find something that would fit your taste as well!

What Will Happen To Me On Easter Monday?

Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox.Many Christians worldwide celebrate Easter with special church services, music, candlelight, flowers and the ringing of church bells. Easter processions are held in some countries such as the Philippines and Spain. It is a day of joy and celebration to commemorate that Jesus Christ is risen, according to Christian belief.

Tradition in Slovakia is a bit different to the UK - and I will be celebrating Easter there this year. Take a look at what women are put through on Easter Monday! And men just get drinks, food and even eggs?! Something is not right...

HAPPY EASTER

Have you seen these before?

In this post I would like to tell you more about our lovely hand made hand painted decorative candles. When I first saw these I thought "wow- they look different" and I really liked the idea of having an unusually shaped candle that looks so unique, comes with a lovely metal stand and in a chic gift box. I was also wondering - how do they burn? They are only about 10 mm thick so they HAVE to be very messy. Surprisingly - they are NOT! These decorative candles are made of special blend of waxes - it's qualities protect burning candle from running down and smoking. The best part - every candle is an original! Formed into unusual round, square, triangle shapes and hand painted with lovely designs. What a gorgeous source of light and unusual interior decoration.
Our customers say - "they are too pretty to be burnt" - well, I think so too, however if you decide to burn it, don't worry, you can get a refill candle of the same or different design, all our refills fit the stand.
You can take a look at our latest designs here - our range is being constantly updated with new designs so stay in touch and don't  miss on anything new in VAMA Decor shop.

Have a great day!

Natural Eco-Friendly Decorative Candles

Palm wax candles  - I have decided to promote these fabulous candles from our VAMA Decor collection and tell you about their benefits as there is still a lot of you who have never come across this type of a candle.

Palm wax is an all-natural renewable resource (therefore environmentally friendly)obtained from the oil palm which has been grown since 1900's. Palm wax candles burn much slower and produce significantly less soot than paraffin candles. Palm wax creates beautiful crystallization paterns when cooling down and this makes them very different from all other candles.
Our palm wax candles are made to perfection. Beautiful shapes and quality finish ensures that our candles do not drip or smoke. Just the right size of the 100% cotton wick makes the flame very calm and light to let you enjoy a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere in your room. Our palm wax candles are unscented in order to comply with the maximum burning purity and avoid unpleasant irritation of respiratory system of people with allergies and children.

I fell in love with palm wax candles, so take a look at our range and I am sure you will do the same...click here to see our range

    Have  a lovely day!
