Serene Green: The Calming Effect of Green

Wandering around the spaces at Thyme, you will notice a strong theme of green. We have used green as our neutral, as it is in nature's palette, with colour and pattern layered on top. 

One of green's most wondrous attributes is its ability to create an atmosphere of calm. The psychology of colour makes for fascinating reading, understanding how different colours can influence our behaviour, emotions and moods.  

With green's strong association with nature, it embodies nature's calming effects. The benefits of getting out in nature are immense, it reduces stress and promote physical health. Our minds make a subconscious connection to nature through the colour green, so surrounding ourselves with this palette in our homes creates an environment of serenity with profound impacts on how we feel day to day. 

The power green possesses to instil a sense of rest and renewal has been studied. Interestingly, exposure to the green has been shown to stimulate our pituitary gland, which result in more relaxed muscles and increased levels of histamine in our blood.

At Thyme, we love the colour green. It comes through in so many of our interiors, creating harmony with the outside world. From the green spa and green bedrooms to green rolling fields, join us to feel the calming effect of serene green.
