Colour Psychology And Choosing The Correct Colour Scheme
Is there anything with more power in interior design than colour? Maintain the same fixtures in a room but change the colour scheme, and you can have a drastically different looking room.
Not just that, but people can feel the change – colours can affect us on the deepest and most basic level as humans, invoking particular emotions and inspiring certain feelings just through the nature of how we see them, and the associations we make alongside them.
That’s why at Jade Aden Interiors we help you to get the colour scheme right – it can have a huge effect on you and your workforce, and if done correctly could be a real boost to the morale of your staff.
If you stand back, take a look and it’s not right, it’s going to cost more time and money to get it replaced – you can talk through with our friendly team to understand how each colour affects people and how this translates into your office colour scheme for success on the first go.
Colour Psychology
It’s quite an obvious premise that colours affect us psychologically – sit down with someone and talk through the primary colours and they can all invoke strongly different feelings, such as blue making us feel calm or melancholy, and red inspiring passion and determination amongst other things. Colours are deeply personal and are closely associated with significant events and people in our lives, meaning that blue – for example – could have different effects on different people.
What often isn’t appreciated is just how deeply these colour associations can affect us on a basic level – even within the scientific community. There is a consensus that they have a profound effect on us, but despite every person on the street having an anecdote about how colours affect their mood and the associations with them, scientists dispute the medically therapeutic nature of colours as practiced by some cultures.
Science or not, the potential for boosting mood is real – at Jade Aden we’ve experienced it for ourselves!
Colour Psychology In Your Office
While many people have deeply personal connections to colours and the associated emotions, there are three main mood groups that the mood properties of colours can be grouped into – blues and purples are referred to as ‘cool colours’ for their ability to invoke calm and reflection, reds and oranges as ‘warm colours’ that can invoke passion, determination and alertness, and ‘neutral colours’ such as yellow and green that can provide a relaxing and focused space.
Following this key, Jade Aden can listen to your unique requirements for your office space and take colours into account. Is your office a hub of energy, dynamism and idea generation? Maybe some bright oranges and yellows will help reflect this. Looking to create a space of quiet focus and productivity? Blues, greens and neutral lighting could help your team feel as relaxed as possible.
