JAKARTA - In the midst of a fast-paced life, the house is now transforming into a fortress of defense for mental health. Through the Rhythm of Blues palette, Dulux emphasizes that color is not just an aesthetic element, but an important instrument for creating a sense of security and emotional balance.

Color as an Emotional Anchor

Niluh Putu Ayu Setiawati from AkzoNobel explained that each individual has different emotional needs. Through the blue nuances, individuals are invited to build a personal space. The color here plays a role as a supporter of the emotional strength of its users, creating an atmosphere that supports inner peace in life.

Design and Mental Well-being Perspectives

IAI Jakarta Chairman, Teguh Aryanto, highlighted the shift in the focus of architecture today which prioritizes mental well-being. The use of blue is considered to be able to reduce visual intensity and provide a sense of stability. This is crucial so that the space is not only physically functional, but also able to calm the psychological condition of its occupants without feeling stiff.

Solutions for Neurodiverse Conditions

The importance of a quiet space is also very felt for children with neurodiverse conditions. Sylvia M. Siregar from the Filoksenia Foundation emphasized that for this group, the right visual environment is the key to:

Reduce anxiety due to overstimulation. Reduce excessive visual stimulation in the modern world. Create a sense of security that helps focus and emotional stability. Energy Balance at Home

From the perspective of Feng Shui, Jenie's expert sees the house as a center for energy charging. The soft blue color character such as the Slow, Flow, and Free variants helps residents "slow down the rhythm" after being busy. This approach ensures that the house is an effective place to recover from the pressures of modern life.

Rhythm of Blues™ is a reminder that calmness is everyone's right. By choosing the right colors, we can create a space that is not only beautiful to look at, but also a protector of our mental health.
