At Formica Group, we understand the power of colour in influencing mood, behaviour, and sensory experiences. By carefully selecting and incorporating these hues, designers can craft interior designs that are both visually appealing and emotionally supportive.

The Nurturing Touch of Pink

Pink is a colour that embodies sweetness, playfulness, and soothing warmth. It has a unique ability to create environments that feel nurturing and comfortable, making it a valuable addition to neuro-inclusive design. The various shades of pink offered in the Formica^® Laminate Collection each bring their distinct qualities to a space:

• F8858 Just Rose: This soft, gentle hue is perfect for evoking feelings of calmness and comfort. It’s an ideal choice for spaces intended to be soothing and inviting, where relaxation is key.
• F8238 Blush: A dusky, muted tone, Blush adds a touch of warmth while maintaining a serene atmosphere. It’s well-suited for creating environments that feel both cosy and sophisticated. More than just a new neutral, Blush offers an opportunity to challenge outdated ideas and embrace diversity, reminding us that colour knows no gender.
• F0232 Juicy Pink: For spaces that need a burst of energy and creativity, Formica Laminate in Juicy Pink is the perfect choice. Its brighter, more vibrant tone can inject positivity and stimulate the senses, making it great for areas that thrive on activity and engagement.

By leveraging the versatility of pink tones, interior designers can tailor spaces to meet the unique sensory needs of neurodiverse individuals. Whether you’re creating a calming retreat or a lively, creative space, pink offers a spectrum of possibilities that enhance both emotional and sensory well-being.

The Calming Influence of Green

Green, with its close association with nature and tranquillity, is another powerful colour for neuro-inclusive design. Its wide range of hues can profoundly impact the sensory experience of a space, making it a key tool for creating environments that promote relaxation and focus.

Formica Group offers an array of green tones that can be used to craft such spaces:

• F8245 Marble Green and F2966 Opal: These calming, restorative shades evoke feelings of serenity and balance. They are ideal for creating harmonious environments where focus and relaxation are paramount.
• F5341 Wasabi, F0800 Artichoke, and F8796 Algae: These more yellow-green tones bring a sense of energy and refreshment. They are excellent choices for spaces that require a lively, vibrant atmosphere, making them perfect for areas that benefit from stimulation and vitality.

The diversity of green hues allows designers to create environments that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also conducive to the well-being of neurodiverse individuals. By selecting the right shade, you can ensure that the spaces you design support emotional balance.

Crafting Balanced Environments with Pink and Green

When thoughtfully combined, pink and green can create a harmonious environment that caters to a variety of sensory needs. For instance, a space dominated by calming green tones can be enhanced with soft pink accents, adding a layer of warmth and nurturing comfort. On the other hand, a vibrant, energetic green can be perfectly complemented by a lively pink, infusing the space with creativity and positivity.
