Abstract

Psychologically, colors can produce certain feelings/ reactions, likewise in architecture, the colors of a building influence how users of the building feel. This in-depth study identified values of different colours used in the interior architecture of two purposively selected public buildings in Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD). Effects of the colors on its users were analysed via descriptive statistics afterrandomly sampling 385 respondents. Slovin’s formula was used to get the population comprising staff and students of ABUAD. The study which employed a mixed method approach relied on a questionnaire, unstructured interview alongside observation as the primary data, and print materials among others. Findings from the study indicated that colors and good space complement other structural attributes for habitability while structural designs can also be used to strengthen human self-efficacy; needed as a form of wellness. Concerning colors used in the interior architecture, the visual comforts of staff and students in ABUAD have not been fully met. ABUAD Managements are therefore advised to consider the well-being of staff and students by addressing structures having dull and unimpressive colors; which are also poorly projecting her brand image. Architects/ Interior Designers should consider visual comfort when choosing colors of buildings for sustainable and maintained use.

Abstract

Psychologically, various emotions or responses can be evoked by certain colors and textures, the same in architecture. A baby's visual development can be significantly influenced by color and texture. It may also affect the child's emotional development, linguistic abilities and intellectual capabilities as they grow. This study examined the connection between global health and well-being and the interior design of childcare facilities, using the ABUAD multisystem childcare facilities and Telnet International School's childcare facilities as case studies. Census was employed to obtain the staff and parents' population at the care centers with a total number of 39 while the children at both care centers was 33. The study which employed a mixed-method approach relied on primary data (questionnaire) and unstructured interviews, alongside keen observation, amongst others. Staff and Parents were interviewed to gather data on the overall satisfaction and perceived impact of the interior design on the well-being of the children and staff. The findings suggest that incorporating vibrant and stimulating colors combined with soft textures in childcare facilities can positively impact a child's overall development, fostering creativity, cognitive skills, and emotional well-being. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of considering the psychological effects of color and texture in architectural design to create nurturing environments for children. Therefore, designers are advised to evaluate the safety and functionality of day-care centers, ensuring that it is easy to navigate and provide ample opportunities for exploration and play.
