Colour Psychology And Its Impact: Bathroom Renovations Edition
Colour psychology refers to the study of responses to emotional and physiological aspects of colour and communication. The colourings chosen have the ability to draw people in as some people gravitate towards certain colours and have distinct connections and emotions with colours.
It is essential to think about how various designs, styles and colours tie together within the bathrooms in your home. The colour palette you choose for your bathrooms can have a significant effect on its overall personality and the feel you want your bathroom to give off.
There are various ways to incorporate different colours into your bathroom, whether you are looking for coloured vanities, a pop of colour in a splashback or bright cupboards – the choice is yours! Below are some of the colours and the impacts they have on their communication to take into consideration for your upcoming bathroom renovations!
White
In regards to colour psychology, white signifies purity, cleanliness and innocence. White is often viewed as a blank canvas, as other pops of colours can be incorporated through tapware, cabinetry, tapware or through decorative pieces such as towels and soaps. Using decorative pieces such as towels allows for change of these colours whilst always having the neutral and blank canvas of white vanity and tiles.
White can often feel very bright, especially with the help of natural lighting which makes the space appear more open which is why white is often chosen for small bathroom renovations.
Orange
Orange is often linked to being a bright, joyful and passionate colour in regards to colour psychology. Orange has an element of warmth and is often incorporated within bathrooms and during bathroom renovations for added dimension through bright oranges and through various orange shades such as terracotta.
In this bathroom renovation completed by our team in Lambton, an orange tile is utilised in various shades in little tiles as a backsplash behind a bath.
Black
Black has been a popular colouring choice in homes and bathrooms due to its simplicity. Black has a mysterious, modern design which is incorporated in the majority of bathroom designs from black cabinetry to black tapware depending on the amount of colour you are wanting to showcase.
Black is an extremely versatile colour, although there are reasons within colour psychology why many of us are drawn to the colour black. Black is often associated with power and strength.
In small bathroom renovations, black tapware throughout the entirety of the bathroom is a great way to elevate your bathroom and add a modern touch, whilst ensuring your bathroom does not appear too dark or closed off.
Green
Often the colour green reminds people of the environment and nature which provides calm and peaceful emotions with a sense of growth and renewal. Green is often incorporated into bathrooms for a natural ambience and to promote positive and upbeat feelings.
This image is from a bathroom renovation in Baulkham Hills which incorporated a green leaf print into the walls of the shower to create a feature.
A second example of how to incorporate green into a bathroom is from this bathroom renovation in North Bondi which utilises subtle green tones such as sage throughout the tiling on the walls. The subtle green tones with tiles are becoming a popular choice in bathrooms to bring in a pop of colour whilst still being subtle, as well as a light sage cabinet being a popular choice.
Pink
In colour psychology pink is often linked to feelings of love, compassion, kindness and calmness. The colour pink has become a popular choice to incorporate into bathrooms whether it’s through pink tiles as splashbacks or through decorative pieces.
This bathroom renovation in Kincumber has utilised a pink geometric tile as a splashback. There are a variety of shades of pinks that create a variety of cool or warm undertones to create a look you desire. Reach out to our bathroom experts at Novalé for any bathroom renovations Sydney!
