When we decide to decorate our interior, the choice of color is not the easiest task. This must reflect our personality, but also set the tempo for our future decoration. If it is often our tastes that take precedence over our decision, we neglect, wrongly, the impact that this will have. And yes, colors are not just colors, they are also a therapeutic effect. Australian paint brand Taubmans has partnered with Liminal , virtual reality specialist, as well as psychologists and neurologists , all in collaboration with the Florey Institute for Neuroscience and Mental Health Research (based in Melbourne), and analyzed the link between room color and emotions . According to them, our mood may change depending on the color around us.
Have you ever completely changed your mood when you entered a room? This would be a link with the color of your walls. To explain this phenomenon, the experts solicited the participation of 745 participants. Via virtual reality headsets, they entered three different rooms (a living room, a waiting room, and an empty room), the walls of which were "painted" in five different colors. A description of their emotions they were asked after each passage in the rooms. According to them, dark colors would make the rooms much smaller. Some associate it with comfort , others feel more sadness in dark rooms. On the contrary, pastel type colors , such as lilac, water green or even light blue, had a soothing effect on the attendees. And the bright colors such as yellow, pink or even orange, would give energy.
The impact of colors on our emotions is therefore not to be taken lightly to feel good at home . Some colors have more of their place in a living room rather than in a bedroom. For example, it is better to put light colors in places where you want calm , like our bedroom, bright colors in the living rooms , and dark colors where the least time spends. But of course, the power color magic is dimmed when they are onlyon one wall , or even dressed with patterns.
