This endlessly informative and inspiring guide to interior design
shows how sensory perception is the key to creating a happy place
inside your own home. What do you see, hear, and smell when you
walk in your front door? Do you feel safe and relaxed? Is it too
warm or too cold? As people spend increasing amounts of time in
their homes, it's more important than ever to feel at peace there.
Achieving that feeling of comfort can mean different things for
different people but, as interior design expert Marion Hellweg
shows us, there are basic principles of home design that work for
every style of life and architecture. Gorgeously designed and
presented, this book first explains how our sensory perception
affects us and influences our wellbeing. It then follows up with
lavishly illustrated sections that explore a variety of ways to
optimize our sensory perceptions throughout our homes: the language
of color and form; the influence of natural and artificial light;
the basics of room layout; haptics and acoustics; incorporating
plants and nature; optimal sleeping conditions; the importance of a
healthy kitchen; common spaces and privacy; ergonomics and
furniture design. There are interviews with a wide range of experts
who offer deeper insights into each subject; there are links to
sources; and countless practical tips and advice. Filled with
visual ideas from contemporary living spaces across the world, this
book shows how stimulating the senses in the right way will help
make our homes as comfortable as they can be.
