Design experts suggest that certain hues in tiles can significantly affect the mood and ambiance of a house. Soniya Chadha, Creative Director at Karishma Tiles Stones, and AV Mallikarjuna, Assistant Vice-President of Sales and Marketing at Aparna Enterprises, offer their insights.
According to them, warm colors such as deep reds, fiery oranges, and vibrant yellows are ideal for social areas as they bring energy and positivity. Red is particularly great for enhancing appetite and facilitating conversation, making it a perfect choice for dining rooms and kitchens.
Cool colors like blues, greens, and grays are associated with peace and relaxation. They offer a sense of calmness and balance, hence, they are best suited for bedrooms, bathrooms, and living rooms. Moreover, they beautifully blend with the modern biophilic design giving a sense of communion with nature.
Neutral colors like beige, white, and gray offer an understated elegance. They can make a space feel more open, especially white, and add sophistication, especially gray. Mixed with textured finishes, they can offer depth and adaptability.
Cultural significance is another thing to consider when choosing tile colors. In India, for instance, white symbolizes peace and purity and is thus used in meditation areas. Maroon and gold representing prosperity and warmth, on the other hand, are popular in social spaces.
Bringing psychological and cultural impacts of colors to the forefront, tiles can be a profound way of crafting a personalized space that is not just aesthetically appealing but also emotionally inviting.
