USE COLOR IN
YOUR INTERIOR
DESIGN TO
IMPROVE MENTAL
HEALTH
Color is a primary component of our world
experiences. Each color's saturation and
brightness are significant components in their
emotional powers. Saturation refers to the
pureness of the color; less saturated colors have
more grey or black in them. Bright colors are
less saturated; these lighter, pale tones can
have a relaxing effect.
What's your
favorite color and
what do you think it
represents?
Red

Red is the color of power, aggression and

passion. Incorporating too much red in the
home can make people feel anxious or
unsettled.
Orange

Orange is associated with energy, sports,

competition, and innovation. It's not the color to
use if you're trying to create a serene space.
Yellow

Yellow is the only warm color associated with

relaxation. It is associated with happiness,
creativity and innocence. Less saturated yellows
also work well with neutrals to create a relaxing
effect. Yellow can also work in sunny spaces,
intensifying the effects of sunlight on skin.
Green

Green is associated with balance, harmony,

and nature. Saturated greens can quickly
overwhelm, making the room look dank or dark.
Conversely, greyish greens, sage tones, or khakis
often read as a neutral color. The use of bright
greens, or apple greens make a room look
cheerful.
Blue

Blue is one of the least appetizing colors, which

may be why it's used less often in kitchens and
restaurants. Blue is also associated with sadness
(feeling blue) and may not be a good color to
ward off depression. It's popular in health
offices and financial institutions.
Purple

Lavender evokes feelings of luxury, privilege,

and specialness. Purple is a ceremonial color
used in many religions to connote divinity.
Studies show that using too much purple makes
some people feel irritable and arrogant. Deeply
saturated purples, like eggplant, are powerful.
Black

Black absorbs all light in the color spectrum,

meaning it is the combination of all colors. Black
is associated with death, unhappiness, and
mystery. It's also associated with sophistication,
seriousness, intellectualism, and sexuality.
When used sparingly, black can create calming
harmony and balance in a room.
White

White is an easy color to work with in interior

design. It evokes feelings of cleanliness, purity,
and innocence. Too much white, however, can
make a room feel bland or sterile. Importantly, it
is easy to see imperfections on white.
