In the example of healthcare, it not only has a positive effect on patients’ wellbeing and outlook, it can aid in improving their health and recovery, as well as improving staff morale too. We know that good design is important, but we can no longer afford to ignore the impact that colour has, or the incredible results we can create when the two are used together purposefully. Karen will be at Clerkenwell Design Week From the urban environment to hospitals and where she will be launching the Wellbeing schools, colour can influence how we feel in Colour Wheel in conjunction with Altro at these spaces, how we feel about ourselves, their showroom. and how we behave. It is a powerful force for positive change and I can’t wait to see it spread more throughout the design industry and among design professionals who can use it to create spaces for our clients that deliver exactly the results and the feeling they are looking for. www.karenhaller.co.uk | www.colour-training.com FB: The Colour Collective IG: Karen_Haller_Colour Tw:KarenHaller
