The influence of color on human health and mood
Humanity realized the importance of color thousands of years ago. For example, it is known that during the times of Ancient Egypt, color treatment was actively practiced. We know this method as “color therapy”. And in the period of antiquity, sick people were given liquid to drink, into which a precious stone of a certain shade had previously been dipped. They believed that it saturates the water with the necessary energy and thus helps get rid of ailments.
Let's return to our time - in the middle of the 20th century, the Swiss psychologist Max Luscher, in order to determine the effect of shades on the psychophysical state of a person, developed a special test. According to the results of the study, it was found that each tone affects the subjects differently and this has nothing to do with their gender, religion, or nationality.
Based on numerous tests, it has been proven that the color of furniture, including corner wardrobes, affects:
- mood;
- making decisions;
- fatigue;
- appetite;
- physical well-being;
- pressure;
- behavior;
- peace of mind.
The color design of furnishings can either charge you with energy and positivity, or depress you. To choose a “useful” shade that you will like, you should find out about the features of each - details later in the article.

The right color combination when choosing a corner wardrobe
For those who do not like monochrome, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the table below, which simply and clearly shows the rules for combining colors with each other:
If you like the “game of contrasts”, we advise you to pay attention to models that support:
- Contrast of light and dark
. The principle is to combine “light” and “shadow”. For example, the classic option is corner wardrobes in black and white, the less common is “chocolate + champagne”, the very interesting and bold one is “blue + light blue”.
- Saturation contrast
is a combination of deep bright and pale muted tones.
- Contrast of cold and warm.
The combination of such shades allows you to achieve harmonious integrity, enhancing the characteristics of each color (cold ones become even more frosty, warm ones become hotter).
- Contrast of tones
- the construction is based on the Itten Color Wheel model, which contains the most successful color combinations.
Whatever color combination of the corner wardrobe you choose, do not forget that it should be in harmony with the style of the interior - read more about this below.
