How Colour on Your Interior Walls Can Impact Your Mood

Colour and it’s physcology on human mind

The profound effect colour has on our moods, emotions & behaviour is reflected in our everyday language. We unconsciously resort to these to describe how we feel or react to something.

Colour is personal, the clothes we wear & the colour scheme of our homes all say a great deal about us. They indicate the state of our health, mind and describe our personalities.

Interior walls are no more the drab, faded, run down assets that remains in the same conditions year over year. In the present era of fast paced lifestyle, the ambience of your home needs to be a mood enhancer. Colour psychology plays an important role in the mood, adds life to your home and has a direct impact on your mind.

Colours and it’s implementation for interiors

Interior wall design and colours can create such a distinctive feel in your home that the transformation can be hard to imagine. Not only does it uplift the space, but the space can look larger or smaller based on the colour of the walls. Interior wall colours highlight particular space of your home and can bring out the character of the space. Unlike furniture which is 3 dimensional, the 2 dimensional wall in the background can set the right tone for the space.

It is important to recognise that our need for colour changes as we ourselves change, and this gives rise to redecorate a particular space.

One may not have given much thought to the colours they are surrounded by, having lived with the same colour for years without pausing to ponder if they reflect your true personality.

The main thing to consider when you plan is what kind of ambience do you wish to create – quiet & peaceful or warm and welcoming. Based on this the colour palette will either be warm or cool.
