Blue Color Psychology for Interior Design
Like the color of the sea and sky, blue is associated with serenity and calmness. This cool hue emanates a relaxing feel and makes interiors look refreshing. Different shades of blue are recognized to improve concentration and are associated with intelligence. Blue is also the perfect choice for a study room or work and office area as it stimulates thinking and promotes intelligence. It is also linked to creativity and imagination. People who spend most of their working hours in blue-colored rooms are more productive.
Blue is also related to confidence and inspires trust. On the other hand, different shades and variations of blue suggest aloofness, coldness, and showing little or no emotion. Some studies even show that the color blue can suppress appetite since there are not many blue-colored natural foods, and signs of spoilage are often seen as blue-colored.
Since blue radiates peace and calm, the key to creating a soothing atmosphere for your bedroom is to include shades of blue in your color palette. Blue is the most popular color for decorating bedrooms because it promotes meditation and tranquility. Enhancing mental health and alleviating stress, this color is appropriate for rooms that encourage sleep, rest, and relaxation. It is also the best choice for bedrooms because it can perfectly match other colors with just about any design theme.
White Color Psychology for Interior Design
White often offers the concept of purity, simplicity, and sophistication. It is the color of perfection, wholeness, and completion. It is often associated with new beginnings. The color white heightens the perception of space in a room and contains an equal balance of all the colors of the spectrum. Unlike the color blue, which stimulates the senses, the color white awakens openness, growth, and creativity, leading to the conception of new creations like working with a blank canvas.
White also offers a sense of calmness, comfort, hope, and order. It is best when used in simple designs to emphasize certain things and thus create an elegant look. But do not use white in excess because too much would give a feeling of emptiness, coldness, sterility, and lack of interest.
If this is the case, the secret is to design a layer of white tints such as from chalk white up to ivory white. You may also use white color with textures such as textured walls, textiles and floor coverings in order to soften the look of the room and will make the white room more inviting and warmer.
