Blue Fabric Lampshades

Known as a cooling colour, blue invokes feelings of serenity, intelligence, lightness, and positivity.

There’s a reason lighter shades of blue are commonly employed in hospitals, spas, and places of spiritual retreat and that reason is that with its broad range of soothing hues, blue has the ability to calm the mind, bringing about a sense of peace.

Unlike other colours which evoke physical reactions, blue is a colour of the mind, and serves to inspire deep reflection and concentration. When employed in interior design schemes, it brings an element of fluidity to décor and motifs that might otherwise prove too grounded. Further, blue has the power to create crisp, clear interior design themes that refresh and inspire.

Research has proven, time and again, that colour blue can lower blood pressure and heart rates, and as a colour, blue is the world's favourite. However, when incorporated carelessly, blue can be perceived as cold or uninviting. When genuine thought is put into adding shades of blue to any design scheme, the overall atmosphere has the potential to become one of a calm, meditative nature.
