Colour is so much more than meets the eye. Research shows that colour has a significant impact on our emotions, mood, and well-being. Colour influences how we experience the world around us. When it comes to our living spaces, the colours we surround ourselves with can either uplift or drain us. Modscene is extremely passionate about colour, which is why we have 25 different options throughout our range of planters. In this article, we'll explore the psychology of colour and how bright, vibrant planters can positively influence our mood.
The Science of Colour
Colour psychology is the study of how colours affect human behaviour and emotions. Different wavelengths of light stimulate different emotions, influencing our mood, energy levels, and mental health. We don’t just see colours, we feel them. While personal colour preferences can be shaped by personal experiences and cultural backgrounds there are several agreed-upon colour-emotion connections.
Red: Stimulates energy, passion and excitement
Orange: Arouses creativity, enthusiasm and warmth
Yellow: Inspires happiness, positivity and joy
Green: Is calming and represents growth and balanced emotions.
Blue: Soothes, promotes trust and symbolizes loyalty
Pink: Represents tenderness, cheerfulness and empathy
Bright Pots, Brighter Mood
If there's one feeling that bright colours stimulate, it’s energy. Brightly coloured pots can add a burst of energy to any indoor or outdoor space, creating a lively and inviting vibe. Different coloured pots can create an entirely different feeling and emotional connection to an environment.
Red and orange pots create a feeling of energy and warmth.
Yellow and pink pots uplift and promote positivity and joy.
Green and blue pots bring a soothing sense of calmness, reducing stress and anxiety.
How to Choose the Perfect Pot for Your Spot
1. Consider Your Space: Think about the overall atmosphere and look you want to create in your space. Choose a colour that complements or contrasts with your surrounding environment. It might be the colour of your house, nearby plants or décor. Think about the room or area’s function.
2. Reflect Your Personality: Select a pot colour that resonates and reflects your personality, mood, or style. If you're a laid-back, calm person, the soothing tones of a blue or green pot might be perfect.
3. Think About the Plant: If you have decided on a plant, choose a colour that complements its shape and colour. For example, an orange or yellow pot looks great with a citrus tree.
4. Mix & Match: You don’t have to limit yourself to just one colour. Experiment with different colours to create the spaces that you love!
To summarize, bright, colourful pots can have a significant impact on our mood and wellbeing. By understanding the psychology of colour and choosing pots that reflect our personality and style, we can create a more uplifting and positive environment. So why not add a pop of colour to your space with a vibrant Modscene planter?
