The Psychological Effect that Colour can have in your Home

Have you ever sat in a room and felt something you couldn’t quite put your finger on? Maybe you suddenly felt anxious, or in a hurry to leave. Or perhaps you felt calm as if all your worries had somehow disappeared. Although both feelings are quite different, they do have one thing in common, they were provoked by the colours in the room that surrounded you at the time.

It’s no coincidence fast food restaurants use “fast colours” such as reds, yellows, and oranges for their branding. These colours stimulate our energy and often increase our blood pressure. We subconsciously find ourselves ordering more than we need, eating faster than anticipated, and leaving prematurely before inhaling that last chicken nugget.

Fast food restaurants are just one example of brands and advertisements that are utilising colour psychology. The effects of colour have 3 major roles which include conveying information, evoking emotions, and influencing decision making. As a result, we want to help you utilise the right colours in your home!

So here are our top 4 colours to boost the mood and energy in your home! It really is that EZ!

Blue:

If you want to bring down your blood pressure, then blue is for you! (Why not put this in your kid's room? You can thank us later!) It also creates security and order.

Feeling Blue? Simply add the Metro 3 Seater Sofabed to your interior! The Metro will accommodate overnight guests whilst injecting a pop of colour into any room!

Yellow:

If you want more energy and warmth in your home, add a touch of yellow!

The Fjord Sofa is one of our best sellers and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out just why! We can’t help but feel a little lighter when we take a seat on the Fjord!

Pink:

Soft pinks promise to bring a calming effect into any room!

If you don’t believe in magic, you will when you see the Pink Velvet Harper! If you don’t feel calm after looking at the Harper, I’m afraid there’s no helping you!

Teal:

Teal encourages a calm and reflective mood. This colour possesses healing properties as well as having a grounding effect.

If you are looking for a bold statement piece, look no further than the Bronx Armchair! Why fit in when you were born to stand out?

Every person has their own colour, are you ready to find yours?
