Pairing colours in residential architecture for different interior types
Different learning methods (online, blended, blended-online and face-to-face) have been examined widely since the late 1990s. Although many design studies discuss engagement with these new methods in relation to studio modules, research/theory modules have not been investigated yet for interior architecture with both qualitative and quantitative da...
Residential interiors (RIs) have been designed by anonymous designers throughout his-
tory and have reflected their users’ identity, culture, and habits until modern times, although design and architecture courses rarely involve residential interiors in their curriculums. Therefore, decision-makers (architects, interior architects, designers, and u...
Top cited article 2020-2021 Color Research and Application - Wiley Colour semantics in residential interior architecture on different interior types
By conducting an international survey on residential lighting, a great variety of data showing the differences and similarities in lighting conditions among Poland, Turkey, Sweden and the U.K. were collected which provided an overall perspective for raising the standards of luminous environments. A total of 500 participants (125 respondents from ea...
Most colour studies focus on single colour effects; however, interiors are multi‐coloured environments and contemporary users are looking for more innovative colour schemes in interiors. Interior architects rely on their own subjective experience and instincts when they take up the challenge. This study aims to reveal colour semantics of paired col...
Lighting is one of the environmental elements that facilitates people to maintain their lives. With light people can collect visual cues about their environments in which they can perform visual tasks safely and comfortably. Exploring the lighting systems and conditions in residential interiors is important for introducing new concepts concerning h...

Colour meaning is a challenging decision in interior architecture during the design process; however, specific meanings within different interior types have not yet been investigated. This study explored colour meaning in the context of residential interior types (eg, bedroom) under controlled conditions using 42 Munsell colours varying in hues, va...
In order to create human comfort and wellbeing with colours we have to know how the colours are perceived and what associations the colours create within the persons exposed to the colours. What are the colour associations in other cultures? Do colours have different meanings in other cultures?
The aim of this research is to investigate if there ar...
Colours, materials and finishes (CMF) is a vital component of many branches of design. Practicing designers and researchers primarily use digital representation tools to explore the material aspects of a new design proposal (e.g. a façade, an interior, a product). Although some still prefer to use physical material samples to convey CMF properties...
The study is the second part of a previous study which explored the effects of color pairs on warmth perception in interiors. The main aim of this study is to investigate the effects of material pairs and their single materials on warmth perception in interiors with the same methodology, since paired materials have not been investigated yet. Each m...
We explored Turkish colour naming using an Internet-based color naming experiment to: a) collect colour names in wide cultural use with their corresponding colour ranges and response times, b) to estimate colour coordinates of centroids of 11 Turkish basic color terms (BCTs) and to compare them to the 11 English BCTs estimated using the same web-ex...

This article investigates the free associations of materials and colors in the context of interior architecture. Materials and colors rarely appear alone in interiors; therefore, in the scope of this study, the researchers explored material pairs and color pairs in addition to single materials and single colors. To elicit free associations from the...

Warmth perception is a physical, emotional, semantic, and sensorial bond between people and their environments. Although the effects of single colors have been explored, there has been no research on how paired colors affect warmth perception in interiors. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to investigate these effects of colors and color pai...
Questions
Question (1)
We are conducting an international lighting research study about residential interiors: https://survey.lighting/ (for UK, Turkey, Sweden and Poland). We are looking for UK residents who are actually living in the U.K., want to provide information about their interiors (particularly for lighting) and are interested in to the research study. It would be so helpful if you can participate with your insight about UK interiors and contribute our online research study https://survey.lighting/ approximately 15 minutes. Please share this with your friends and family members who might like to contribute. Ethics reference UoL2020-3540
