Green is one of the most popular colors for interior design, and tile can be an excellent way to incorporate it into your home. Today, we’ll discuss the psychology behind the color green and share some of our favorite green tile selections!
Psychology of the Color Green
Green is often associated with nature, growth, health, and generosity. It’s seen as a refreshing, relaxing, tranquil color that can promote healing and relieve stress. It’s frequently chosen for locations where its ability to calm people and put them at ease can be beneficial, such as waiting rooms and doctor’s offices.
The calming effects of the color green are likely evolutionary. In the past, areas with lots of green (grass, trees, and plants) were places where food, water, and shelter were abundant.
Studies have shown that green can even enhance focus and impulse control, and green rooms can be motivating. In contrast to red, green is more often associated with success and creativity.
Compared to the other colors on the color wheel, green is the most relaxing to the human eye. Various shades of green tend to have different connotations. For instance, pale green is usually associated with peace, bright green can signify rebirth, and emerald green communicates elegance and luxury.
Using Green in Interior Design
Choosing green for your interior design can be an exceptional way to create a calming effect in your home. Green is always in style, and it adds a fresh, natural element to any room. Plus, it can be paired with a wide variety of neutrals, as well as more vibrant shades.
It’s recommended to look at the undertones in your chosen shade of green and select the rest of your color palette based on what meshes well with those undertones.
Green can be the ideal choice for flooring, an accent wall, or a backsplash. You might even choose a slightly out-of-the-ordinary tiling project, such as a green tiled shower, fireplace surround, or bar surround, for an eye-catching and invigorating yet refreshing pop of color.
We recommend using green in areas where you want to enhance levels of relaxation and focus. For instance, green can be a magnificent color to use in a home office or bedroom.
