A Healthy Dose of Color
by Lauren Setum, Allied Member ASID
It goes without saying that LiLu loves designing spaces for our residential clients, as each one has a unique set of criteria that challenges and inspires our creative energies. Every now and again, however, we like to mix it up. Take a peek at some photos from one of our commercial projects, they'll brighten your day! After all health, color, psychology all go together!
The Emily program once again partnered with LiLu to create a distinctive environment for healing, this time for its Toogood building in St. Paul. From an old industrial building surfaced a restored space expertly designed to enhance the counseling of adolescents with eating disorders.
A custom color scheme balances warm and cool colors to emphasize the transition from one area to another.
Patterns, finishes and artwork appeal to the youthful spirit.
Color blocking and large-scale carpet patterns contrast the rough texture, scale and overwhelming presence of brick walls.
Color is a powerful design element as it has the ability to alter emotions. The colors that designers choose for a space, therefore, are very intentional and purposeful. This week, we are going to focus on the psychology of one color in particular...PURPLE! Check back Wednesday to find out why.
