"How does the living space impact my client's daily life and mental health?" Interior Designers must ask this question before designing spaces for their clients.

In today's episode, I talk about the psychology of design and environmental psychology, and its profound impact on interior design. As I unravel Maslow's hierarchy of needs, I explore how shelter is a fundamental need that transcends into homes that foster safety, love, self-esteem, and self-actualization.

I also share a challenging year of living through a home renovation that affected my psyche and mental health.

So this episode doesn't just uncover the challenges; it serves as a guide, offering resources, including TED talks and a recommended textbook, to aid in understanding the psychology of design and environmental psychology.

Whether you are a seasoned designer or just starting in the creative field, awareness of the psychology of the environment is crucial to creating mindful spaces for your clients.
