46% of Young Adults Feel Home Interiors Impact Mood More Than Weather, Says Study

• 77% of respondents attest to the mood-enhancing effects of specific interior colours
• Sky Blue is one of the UK’s top interior colour choices for mood enhancement
• 6% of young adults assert that the design and colour scheme of their home interiors exert a more profound influence on their emotional state than the weather 
• 45% of all respondents—and an even greater 53% among those aged 18-34—viewing their living spaces as direct reflections of their personalities

34 St John's pioneering research has shed light on the intricate ways our interior choices shape our daily moods. 

The findings present the vital role of colour in our well-being, with sky blue, cream, and sage green identified as the hues most conducive to happiness. However, despite a general longing for more vibrant interiors, there's an evident gap, as many homes still lack in colour—a missed opportunity for creating more emotionally vibrant environments.

34 St John's research shows an interesting connection between interior design and mental health: a significant 77% of respondents attest to the mood-enhancing effects of specific interior colours, with sky blue standing out as a particularly uplifting choice. 

Delving deeper into the data, an even more striking trend emerges among younger demographics. Approximately 46% of young adults assert that the design and colour scheme of their home interiors exert a more profound influence on their emotional state than the often unpredictable outdoor weather conditions.

77% of people believe that the colour of their interiors can enhance their mood

This preference underscores a growing recognition of the power of indoor aesthetics in shaping our daily mood and overall sense of well-being. It points to a trend where younger people are more deliberate about their living spaces, emphasising the need for environments that look good and boost mental and emotional well-being.

Personal Space as an Extension of Self

Additionally, the survey reveals a strong link between how our homes look and our personal identity, with 45% of all respondents—and an even greater 53% among those aged 18-34—viewing their living spaces as direct reflections of their personalities. 

This trend marks a move towards more personalised living environments that not only cater to functional needs but also serve as canvases for individual expression. In a culture that values uniqueness, the design of our homes becomes an integral part of our identity, profoundly affecting our sense of comfort and shaping our self-perception.
