Green is nature's most predominant colour, working very well together with yellow making any room refreshing. When we think of green, we imagine forests, trees, grass or olives...Certain studies even suggest that green promotes deep and slow breathing. While some shades of green, such as mint or aqua, are considered refreshing, lime is more stimulating and creates an atmosphere of joy and lightness. The darker shades, such as bottle and olive green, can add a touch of calm to a decor. Green is a symbol of life, harmony and peace of mind. It brings us comfort and relaxation. close window

Black creates a feeling of protection, comfort and a sensation of mystery. It is associated with silence and infinity. The use of black in decoration can be dramatic and inspiring.

Everyone reacts to colours differently, but the psychology of colour has a real impact on our emotions and moods. We can look at colours in two different ways. Symbolic and psychological. The symbolic aspect is cultural. If white is the traditional colour for bridal dresses, and black the colour of mourning, we assume that it is the "nature" of colours. Yet, in certain oriental cultures, it is white, not black, that is the colour of mourning.
Psychologically, colours do have an effect on our emotions. Research has scientifically proven the psychological effects of colours. That's why we think that it is important to consider this when planning your decoration.
