COLOURS AND OUR MINDS
In the oldest of times, during the very first architectural and constructional enterprises when it comes to public edifices, men noticed the effect of colours on the psychology of those who reside in a certain space.
As well as the sound, certain colours appeal to us more, they create a certain effect in us, whether we want to relax, or, on the contrary, to make our lives more dynamic and passionate.
Similarly to sounds, colours represent certain elements that, when put together, create the reflection of an all-encompassing harmony. Therefore, the correct choice of colours in a certain space, or to a certain person that spends time in this space, is the crucial aspect of creating a comfortable home or working space.
When it comes to humans, the choice of colours can be very effective to project us in a certain light, but what’s more important, to make us feel better in our living and working spaces.
Do we (and how) want to relax, what is the most appropriate colour for the bedroom and which for the kitchen and living room...?, these are just some of the multitude of questions we put to ourselves prior to commencing adaptation of our homes.
Blue colour, in all its shades, reminds of the sky but also of the sea, depth of space and emotions, wisdom. This is the colour that relaxes our bodies and minds, and thus ideal for contemplation, mental excercises, developing the feelings of secureness and protectedness.
