Effects of Colour, Area, and Height on Space Perception

Abstract

Colours and the spatial properties of the workplace are primarily visually conveyed. The aim of this study determines how colour, area and height influence space perception. 80 interior designers participated in this experiment to evaluate the sixteen workspace images on the internet-based questionnaires. Four factors of space perception; spaciousness, openness, complexity, and order, were assessed using a semantic differential scale. The outcomes revealed that variations in space perception were significantly associated with the difference in colour, area, and height. Neutral colour in all area and height obtained the highest rating of the overall factors, followed by cool colours.
