Colours speak louder than words<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

But how do you figure out which colour works for which space?<\/p>\n
Colours greatly impact your mental health and can also affect how you think, speak, feel and even act \u2013 which makes choosing the right tile colour for your space even more important! Well, here is where the psychology of colours comes into play.

Talking in scientific terms, colour is nothing but the response of our brain and eyes to the different wavelengths of light that reflects off the surface of an object.<\/p>\n The Colour wheel contains the primary colours \u2013 red, yellow, and blue, secondary colours that are made by combining the primary colours \u2013 purple, orange, and green, and tertiary colours made by further combining the secondary colours.<\/p>\n The colours can also be divided into two sets \u2013\u00a0warm colours\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0cool colours.<\/strong><\/p>\n Red colour tiles can give an edge to your restaurant.<\/em><\/p>\n One of the boldest colours on the colour wheel, a lot of people tend to shy away from this colour since it makes a striking statement. The colour red can heighten the senses and invoke a feeling of\u00a0passion, love, romance, and determination<\/strong>. It is a colour that can make a long-lasting first impression and can start conversations.<\/p>\n Red tiles can add a touch of drama to any space when used in large quantities. A large mural or a striking accent wall works well in spaces such as malls or living rooms. If you are not one for theatrics, you can opt to use red tiles to add warm accents in an otherwise cool space. Adding red tiles to spaces like kitchens, dining rooms, and food establishments, such as restaurants, bars, and cafes, works well since red is\u00a0known to increase appetite<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Of course, the shade of red that you choose also makes a big difference:<\/p>\n Pink and white tiles can never go wrong.<\/em><\/p>\n You can also check our\u00a0Tile Buying Guide<\/a>\u00a0before picking the right tile for your space.<\/p>\n Orange has the ability to\u00a0uplift the mood<\/strong>\u00a0of a space and\u00a0enliven<\/strong>\u00a0even the blandest of spaces.
