Global Interior Design London - Blog

Recently, a very good friend of mine who is a London primary school teacher told me about some new research that shows how children improve their mental capacity when they spend time in interesting interior design spaces. I thought I would share with you some of the important “lessons learnt” for interior design professionals who regularly create spaces for children to learn and play.

PRIMARY COLOURS. When used in interior design palettes, these colours have been shown to accelerate the growth of neurones in children’s grey matter. Astonishingly, all that is needed is for the interior design professional to place a few engaging accessories in the room that feature primary colours. No need to go overboard and have the interior design staff paint the whole room in bright green!

TEXTURES. Children learn about the world through storytelling, and many London interior design professionals are storytellers at heart. Sticking different patches of cloth or tissue paper onto the walls to create butterflies, London cityscapes and angels can be a creative way to engage children in the interior design process.

STORAGE. London schoolchildren spend many hours in the classroom, but they need to keep learning when they get home. Interior design consultants should employ storage units that feature spaces for labels and/or pictures to show what goes where. This can encourage children to learn about staying organised – a lifelong skill that I rely on as an interior design professional every day!
