Colors, Shapes and the Mind
According to Mental Health America, “Bright, warm colors (reds, oranges, yellows) stimulate energy and happiness while cool, subdued colors (blues, greens, purples) are soothing and calming. Bright, warm colors are best in rooms for entertaining like dining rooms or kitchens, while cool colors work best in relaxing spaces like bedrooms or even bathrooms. Color psychology (using colors to influence your mood and behavior) is a new science, and there’s some evidence it helps reduce stress, improve sleep, and more.”*
As for shapes, according to the research done by Tubikbloger Alina Arhipova, says, “The [science studying the influence of shapes] claims that each shape has its own meaning and influences our minds and reactions differently. There are many psychological tests that are used to define the personality or mental condition via shapes. For example, a favorite figure can tell about a person’s character traits, a quickly chosen shape can show what’s on the mind.”
