Concrete Gets Colourful
Why colour matters
Colour is more than just decoration, it’s a powerful tool that shapes how we feel and experience a space. Our bathrooms in particular are more than just functional spaces, they are where we find calm and moments of clarity and escape. The colours we choose - especially for key pieces like basins - can really shift the mood.
The Psychology of Colour
Colour isn't just about decoration - it's emotive, atmospheric and allows us to splash our identity over the things we love the most. From our clothes to our interior décor, colour plays a huge part in all the decisions we make and how we present ourselves to the world.
Different colours can impact our thoughts, feelings and actions - affecting how we interact with others, our mood and even our stress levels.
Whether you’re drawn to calming blues, grounding terracotta, bold oranges or minimal greys, there’s a reason why - and it’s backed by design psychology.
Soft blues create calm
Earthy tones feel grounding
Bold hues energise
Neutrals bring clarity
Why Colour Matters in Your Bathroom
The bathroom has long been an area of self-expression. A place where we can close the door on the world and let our mind and body melt away from the stresses of life. And the colours you choose play a powerful role in how that space feels.
