For many people, springtime is the most beautiful season of all, thanks to the blooming of all flora and the beginning of longer days which allow for much more time to be spent outdoors in nature. The weather becomes warmer with the increase in the hours of the day and the flowers grow faster and bloom, flooding the landscapes of the planet with colour and shades. From bougainvilleas that beautifully bloom in every nook and cranny to fragrant frangipanis enveloping the surroundings in stunning, tropical colours, springtime is an anthophile’s delight.

We all know we live in an ever-expanding universe but it is a lesser-known fact that it is also changing colour and has been doing that for billions of years. A consequence of this rapid expansion is the stretching of light, also known as the Doppler Effect. The Doppler red-shift of light seen from distant stars and galaxies give evidence that the universe is expanding (moving away from a central point). This also is solid evidence for Big Bang Theory, because after the “bang” occurred, all of the matters moved away from the point of origin.

Sunflowers aren’t just named for their appearance; in addition to their sun-like colours, sunflowers also have a trait called heliotropism or phototropic solar tracking- which means that they turn to face the sun. They track the sun throughout the day and move accordingly, albeit slowly. If you come across a sunflower field, watch this fascinating phenomenon and don’t forget to make the most out of this picture perfect backdrop!

While some people prefer a unique room colour scheme for each space, having a cohesive palette that stretches across rooms can give your home a more intentional, sophisticated look.

Linking rooms with colours will also encourage better flow between spaces that are separated by closing doors. And if you can see from one room into another, often seen in open floor plans or studio flats, the colour relationship between those rooms can make the house feel like disjointed spaces. While colours that relate to each other draw the eye from one room to the next and create continuity visually.
