If you are thinking of modifying the school environment you want to do so in the right way. The decorating and layouts you decide on will have a significant effect on the attainment, behaviour and morale or your students. Layouts can promote creativity and help with behaviour issues, but colour schemes are also crucial. 

If you use colours in your classrooms that aren’t conducive to creativity, relaxation, or concentration you are missing something. It’s well known that colours can affect your psychology in these ways, so choosing the right ones is important. Different rooms with different uses may call for a different colour scheme.

Blue Hue

Blue can be a meditative colour, the type of blue you might find on a sign for an aquarium. This colour is perfect for classrooms as it stimulates creativity, creates calm and promotes deep thinking. With this simple change in colour scheme a school can boost its attainment figures. 

Shades of Red  

Red is the colour of lipstick, and burlesque costumes for a reason, it draws attention and increases focus and concentration. This colour has an arresting effect on the senses which is ideal for certain school subjects. To improve behaviour and attainment in maths, for instance, include a red wall. 

Mellow Yellow

Not every school subject is packed with interest and innovation for students’ brains to chew on, some are just plain boring. For subjects or situations that tend to put people to sleep, like lectures, consider a yellow colour scheme that encourages serotonin production and stimulates thinking. 

Ambiance Amber 

Every school has behaviour issues to some degree even the best school will have to contend with difficult personality and problem students. The colour Amber can help. This is a sunny colour that helps to relax the body and alleviate stress. It is also very good for concentration. 

Pretty Pink

Pinks of various shades are perfect for large halls and spaces where exams take place. The colour affects the brain and helps to reduce the heart rates of students thereby boosting their results as well as your school’s attainment levels. 

Deep Red 

The colour of wine needs no introduction. It’s a rich almost red tone that works well on cars and clothes, and interior decoration. For your school it’s a good choice for a science lab where you want to balance the minds of students and promote intelligence and creativity. It will help create a space that is relaxed, integrated, and hardworking. 

Orange

This popular colour scheme is an excellent choice for certain classrooms in your school where you want to promote critical thinking and memory capabilities. Students’ performances in subjects such as English, Politics, and History can be significantly enhanced when surrounded by a shade of orange on the walls.
