Colours are an important part of our lives as they influence our energy levels and mood. Colours also affect the ambiance of a room. A space with blue and other cool tones often gives us a relaxed feeling, while a room with red and other warm colours can energize us.
For this reason, it's no surprise that colour plays a significant role in many decisions, including choosing a massage table. However, if you think critically about it, how many of your clients actually care about the colour of the massage table's upholstery?
The number is probably much lower than you'd expect. Nevertheless, we often get asked which colour is best, so we thought it wouldn't hurt to write an article about it.
The answer to this question boils down to two factors. On one hand, as a therapist, you should choose a colour that you personally like. On the other hand, the colour should match the colours in your interior.
Buying a massage table in a colour you like is, of course, common sense. However, choosing one that complements your interior requires a bit more thought.
Matching with The Interior
For example, if there are multiple massage tables in a room all with the same colour, it makes sense to purchase a new table in that same shade. Similarly, if a dominant colour is already present in the interior, it's important to consider this when choosing.
For instance, a purple massage table might seem less appealing in a room with light, natural, and neutral colours compared to a room where purple is already the dominant colour.
That said, it doesn't need to match 100%. In fact, a massage table in a bold colour in a neutral-toned room can serve as an eye-catching feature.
The Importance of Your Massage Table's Colour
You might still consider the colour of your massage table to be a significant factor when choosing one. However, it's important to keep in mind that the table's upholstery colour is rarely visible during treatments.
This is because the table will almost always be covered with a fitted sheet or paper cover for hygienic purposes. As a result, your clients will have no idea what the actual colour of your massage table is, since they will never see it. The only person who frequently sees the colour is you, the therapist.
Your clients will be far more concerned about hygiene and how comfortable the table feels. The focus of every treatment should therefore be on comfort and relaxation.
Conclusion
The colour of the massage table isn't particularly important. The only person who will frequently see the colour is you, as the therapist. After all, the table is always covered with a sheet.
It's much more important to focus on factors that directly impact the client's comfort, such as the table's dimensions, upholstery material, and mattress thickness.
Many clients don’t come to you for the colour of your massage table but rather to escape reality and fully relax.
So, choose a colour that makes you feel comfortable and don't let it be the deciding factor when selecting a massage table. Remember, a good massage table should help ensure that your client feels completely at ease, encouraging them to return to you.
Although our more affordable models are available in various colours, we have deliberately chosen to offer our higher-end models in fewer colour options. This allows us to focus entirely on the quality of the massage table. Looking for tips on purchasing a massage table? Be sure to check out our detailed step-by-step guide.
