Innovation for Homeowners

October 26, 2024

Hi Reader,

The Influence of Color in the home is the focus of this week’s newsletter.

Why do certain interiors captivate us, while others agitate, or fill us with malaise or sadness? What part does your individual vibrational energy play in the colors you prefer?

We naturally gravitate toward certain spectrums and wavelengths as they stimulate us in a positive way. Conversely, we shun those energies from colors which conflict with our personal vibrations. The goal is to seek harmony with colors that complement or elevate your own energy

Does it all sound a bit "New Age-y"? Well, it's actually tied to reputable research in the field of Neuroscience, a discipline we know quite well.

Read on to understand more about the science and psychology of color and how color directly and personally influences how you feel about your home.
