"Shaping the Aesthetic"

There has been much discussion about our Woven Vinyl/ Stripe material and how to showcase the many benefits it offers for your car. Today, though, I'd like to talk about how you feel when you get into your vehicle.
Cocomats often evoke feelings of nostalgia for our customers. They feel "cool and elegant," as though stepping back into the past. Woven Vinyl, on the other hand, has the power to bring your car interior to life with vibrant colors. It adds the "pop" that customizes your car and sets it apart from the thousands of others on the road.
When choosing woven vinyl, it's interesting to consider color psychology in relation to your car's interior. According to Automotive Quest, "Color psychology in interiors plays a pivotal role in shaping the aesthetic and emotional landscape of car interiors." Your color choices can create an environment that evokes feelings of calmness, excitement, or luxury, ultimately enhancing your driving experience.
Warm colors like red, orange, yellow, brown, gold, beige, amber, sienna, and terra cotta are associated with energy, positivity, and sunshine. These hues can energize your environment and may increase your energy levels. Orange fosters creativity and enthusiasm, while yellow is linked to happiness and optimism.
Cool colors, such as light blues and greens, evoke a sense of calmness and comfort. Blue is often associated with tranquility and peace, while green reminds passengers of nature and relaxation. Lighter tones of these colors create an airy feel, while darker tones imply sophistication.
Another consideration is that smooth and matte finishes, like the ones we use in woven vinyl, can enhance a calming effect, while glossy surfaces introduce a contemporary touch.
At Cocomats, we offer color options for every interior. When choosing the color of your vehicle, think about how you want to feel when you climb into the driver's seat. Do you want to step back into the past with Cocomats, or experience a whole new emotional vibe with woven vinyl?
