Can colour really make a difference?

With the ever expanding modern age, humanity is spending more and more time be it at work or home inside.

We now spend a whopping 87% of our life inside and this number is ever growing.

Pleasant environments have a dramatic effect on our moods and our way of processing. Both colour and light make a great difference in how we interact with our surroundings.

When it comes to interior design and in our case brick tiles colour makes a huge difference!

Lighting

Our brick tiles are more often than not textured. The texture of the brick tile is what some say give them the character and appeal. The great thing about texture is that it plays with light in a whole manor of different ways.

We often get asked about photos on our site and how they look. Lighting plays a huge part in the appearance of the product. Natural light, location and size of the room can change the look of the product profoundly.

A product like our Olde Bayswater blend brick tiles has a rumbled handmade texture. This texture allows for shadows and highlights across the full face of the brick, giving a unique appearance every time.

Colour

Light colours like our London Weathered Yellow and New Sandalwood can make rooms appear cooler and larger depending on light source. Darker colours such as our Monsoon or Atom can evoke a moody atmosphere.

The arrangement of colours or textures in an environment changes the perspective, making the room appear taller, longer, wider, or highlighting a particular element.

To create a feeling of spaciousness in an environment, the best method is to use light colours, which will reflect natural light and make surfaces appear larger to the eyes.

Experiment

Our advise ultimately would be to experiment with colour and lighting to achieve the best results for you. Take into consideration where your feature wall will be situated and the colour and texture of the brick tile. All these things will impact on the overall look of your project.
