Decorate Your Home for Joy Using Design Psychology
by Jeanette Joy Fisher
What Is Design Psychology?
Design Psychology exceeds "traditional" interior design practice by
considering the effects of design elements on our five senses, as well as
our emotions. Rather than decorating to impress or to follow a certain
style, you can choose specific lighting, color, patterns, and other
design elements to support your happiness and well-being.
Design Psychology includes an understanding of both physiological and
psychological effects of design elements. For instance, our pituitary
gland releases tranquilizing hormones when we view sky blue. Knowledge of
physiological effects of color can be applied to home decorating to
make sure a room uplifts, calms, or energizes.
Our physiological reaction to aspects of design leads to our
psychological response. We all know that a trickling waterfall not only looks
pretty, but relaxes those nearby. But do you know that certain textures
make you feel irritable, while others comfort? Or that undulating
patterns uplift the spirit, while geometric patterns cause anxiety?
With an understanding of design psychology you can choose elements of
vision, hearing, touch, smell, and even taste which bolster positive
feelings and contribute to happy living.
How Do You Get Your Home Decorated and Furnished Right the First Time?
Using design details chosen to encourage joyful living is easy. First,
learn about lighting -- the most important factor in residential
design. Next, use colors appropriate to the natural setting, lighting, and
desired emotional response. Then think about reactions to patterns
already in the space and add harmonious patterns based on nature; patterns
proven to make people happy. Other design details in your home also come
into play -- sounds, accessories, furnishings and arrangements for
comfort.
Once you understand the science of Design Psychology, you can follow
your own inspiration and creatively employ design elements.
Just as master artists study the physical body and anatomy, your
background knowledge in Design Psychology prepares you with underlying
theory. The practice or application of design details in Design Psychology is
the ART of Residential Design.
