Color Psychology In Your Design Space
Your space directly influences your mood, your emotions, and your lifestyle. At Crimson, we specialize in crafting designs that are uniquely tailored to you, ensuring every detail reflects your style and vision. We believe that your space should match your lifestyle – no matter how crazy or busy it might be – but it should feel like a warm hug! Here is what we have learned about the way color theory can affect your design space.
What Is Color Theory?
Color theory is defined as the way colors work together or against each other and influence our emotions, environment, and psychology. Complementary colors can create contrast that increases energy, while analogous colors create cohesive designs that feel more serene. The individual colors we choose as well can affect us just as much. Blue and green are often considered calming and increase focus, yellow, orange, and red boost creativity, and purple or black create a sense of luxury or sophistication.
Choosing Colors For Specific Rooms
When it comes to selecting colors or palettes to reference for different rooms, you want to consider the purpose of each room and how you will use it daily. For your office, you may want to consider blue or green tones to increase focus, while you may want to use warmer hues for your entry way and living space to create a sense of welcoming and relaxation.
What Colors Boost Productivity
When it comes to designing your office or workspace, as previously mentioned, it is a good idea to consider using blue and green hues. Blues and greens are shown to increase productivity and focus in individuals. Not only can applying the hidden science of color theory improve your productivity, but it can also become calming, decreasing stress levels and allowing for better focus.
Matching Colors To Your Personality
While considering color theory is important, you should also make sure that you are choosing colors you truly love. Afterall, your design is meant to be something that you love that serves you on multiple levels. Creating an authentic space that represents you is a great way to apply colors through your home. If you prefer neutral or calming environments, you may go for more calming colors such as blues. If you would like to expand on your energizing personality, you may want to explore using oranges or reds in your design.
This might seem like a lot to consider, but don’t worry! Our incredible team of designers is highly skilled in bringing your designs to life. No matter what vibe (or color) you want to bring into your space, each design is unique to you. Your space should serve you on a physical and emotional level, and often the first place to start is in your color palette!
