design for a better life: Interior design and psychology

Recentely I worked on a project about hospitality, facing it from an emotional point of view ; have you ever realized how much the environment influences your spirits and mood?

Analysing the relationship produced between man and the space he lives in, has always been a strong passion of mine and a source of in-depth studies, with very interesting results!

Interiors are tightly linked to the soul and human psychology, and undergo modifications together with the changes of society: spaces widen, get narrower, become colored, change shade, change shape … exactly the way people have modified their needs and their demands and have emancipated themselves, have been scared, or happy, etc.

A link as deep as invisibile, that only the expert eyes of a designer, of a psychologist and of a sociologist can remark, little known but very present in everyday's reality; unconsciously you look for what makes you feel at ease and gives you positive sensations.

The personalization of spaces has been the password of interior design during the last few years.

The emotional Concept tries to interpret this information to reach the definition of design, elaborated with the collaboration of psychologists, sociologists, interior designers, artists, dietologists and chefsù.

Premises turn into nucleuses that receive emotions and feelings. Do you feel stressed? You need a soft and relaxing space, light food that helps you to relax! These elements have been studied and combined for collective premises: restaurants, lounge bars and bars.

To make things simple, let's start from the sentiments you most commonly feel!

Do you feel rage or fear?

What you need is green surroundings with a vegetable wall and a bright light that welcomes you. While listening to a relaxing music you can sip a light cocktail that will let your senses rest and relax. Your heartbeat slows down and you don't even realize your muscles relax.

The dominant color is white: the color of perfection, that doesn't prevail over any other color because it contains them all, it is the archetype of perfection, of freedom and of light.

The surfaces can be covered with wood or fabric, materials that can give you warm and simple emotions.

The menu proposed reflects your body's need for relaxation, light dishes with plain ingredients: fish, vegetables, fruits, juices, rice.
