How do colors affect the state of mind ?

Colors influence your mood. A green-painted wall in your house makes you calm, but you also get cold quicker. The color red heats and makes you more energetic. The color of your living room, of your clothing and even of the flowers in your garden can determine how you feel. Bring extra color into your home in the dark December months and you will feel more dynamic and healthier. Color makes you happy, cheerful and fitter or cold, gloomy and listless.

With material and color you can therefore create a certain atmosphere. There are no bad colors, there are bad combinations. A good balance between dark and light colors and warm and cool colors ensure balance and tranquility in a room. With the right color combination, soft furniture in a room will not become a stand-alone incentive, but will form an attractive whole with the rest of the room. Light colors reflect the light, whereas dark colors absorb the light. We work a lot with light effects in a snoezel room or experience-oriented room.

If a snoezel space is executed in a light shade such as white or cream, this can sometimes look a bit monotonous and cool without snoezel products switched on. However, if the present snoezel products are switched on, you have the biggest effect in the same lighter space. This is because light reflects on these lighter colored surfaces, giving the room a warmer and more atmospheric look.

For people with visual problems, a space in one color can sometimes be confusing because there is not enough contrast between the different surfaces. For that reason, at Nenko we often opt for two colors in a snoezel space, in order to make the difference between horizontal and vertical surfaces clearly visible.
