Colours always have an effect. They evoke emotions and associations not only when viewed consciously, but also when perceived fleetingly. However, a certain colour, such as a deep dark blue with its various nuances, or a delicate pink, does not have the same effect on everyone. It always depends on your own history, cultural background and mood. When it comes to choosing colours for the design of your own rooms, it can be helpful to rely on individual perception or your own intuition. After all, the choice of colour should harmonise with the residents of the specific space and make them feel at home.
However, if you want to make a specific STATEMENT with a shade, deliberately create a MOOD or even showcase a product, the CHOICE OF COLOUR is part of a larger context.
Colour symbolism
The colour design of interiors becomes pretty complex when you take a closer look at the symbolism of colours. Because even if red means love for some, others associate it with danger. Although the colour blue is said to have a relaxing effect, a cool blue can seem dismissive. While yellow symbolises sunshine and optimism in Western culture, other cultures associate it with wealth. The meaning of colours and their effects is deeply fascinating. Those who engage with the language of colour often find that new horizons and perspectives are revealed to them.

While yellow symbolises sunshine and optimism in Western culture, other cultures associate it with wealth. We at Naturofloor are deeply fascinated by the meaning of colours and their various effects. Not least for this reason, our selection of green tones extends from tangy fresh pomelo to muted smoky green, while our pinks, a shade which we give more credit than most, range from pastel to quartz pink. We are familiar with the effect and power of colours and, are also fortunate to be acquainted with the full extent of their various nuances. We have also developed an inventive vocabulary to describe the Naturofloor colour palette.

Anyone who imagines bright yellow spice powder when they think of curry, who gets a warm feeling when they think of cocoa or vanilla and who can almost smell a delicious fragrance when coffee comes to mind knows how colours awaken all the senses. Our range of carefully selected and coordinated shades offers clients a spectrum that covers virtually all requirements and preferences when it comes to colour. The differences are sometimes minimal, but it is these nuances that make someone’s individually preferred room atmosphere or design absolutely perfect. That’s why we at Naturofloor attach great importance to such small details. It is important to us that the colours feel harmonious to both the people using the room and the objects within it. While some prefer a warm, cosy living ambience, others like it simple and cool.
How does green earth feel under the soles of your feet?
How do flash grey and ghost grey differ when bathed in light? What happens to morning dew in the evening light? And how does saltimbocca taste in a sage-coloured kitchen? Let your imagination run wild. In any case, we set no limits. We consider ourselves discerning, and are happy to discuss and meet all our clients’ demands. If you are seeking more individuality in terms of colour, prefer a special gloss or are looking for additional movement in the structure, we are happy to play with glazes or pigments in gold, silver and copper – until we have found the perfect colour together.
In our showroom in Malans, we will be delighted to show you what’s possible with a harmonious choice of colour. We simulate light influences so that you can experience how smoky green or Rhine blue affect the size of the room. We also invite you to touch our surfaces with your hands and feet. If you like, you can walk barefoot across the floor and experience the special feel of the material. Either way, it’s best to bring your sketches, plans or ideas and enough time with you when you visit us. We are happy to offer you detailed advice not only on design issues, but are also there to clarify technical details and find the matching certified specialist in your area.
