Colour Psychology

Colour and light are far more than aesthetic choices; they shape how people live and feel every day. Research shows that light regulates the bodies rhythm, influencing sleep, energy, and mood. Colour affects emotions and behaviour, with calm tones bringing restoration, brighter hues lifting energy, and balanced palettes improving focus and concentration. For this reason, colour and light are used in classrooms, offices, and healthcare environments to support wellbeing and performance.

At home, colour psychology can transform how each space works and feels. Children’s rooms can encourage play and rest, while neurodiverse children benefit from calming palettes that support focus and comfort. Homes change through different stages of life, and colour plays a vital role in supportingthose transitions — bringing calm during busy family years, focus for work, and warmth as life slows down. In offices, colour and light can reduce stressand enhance concentration, creating spaces that feel grounded and productive.

Colour psychology connects design to life in a meaningful way. It helps create homes that reflect personal stories and culture while offering calm and comfort in a busy world. As the only interior designer in Aberdeen and the surrounding area professionally trained in colour psychology, the goal is to use the most powerful design tools — colour and light — to create spaces that truly support the people who live and work in them.
