Design

Interior Design has been known as many things. It has been known as a difficult practice, a glorified decorator, and even a delicate position in which a client can invest a lot of emotional trust.

An interior designer is the person who takes a clients needs, emotional, psychological and even physiologically, and creates a space, either from scratch or in a pre-existing space, for the client to match their client's needs. Well stated in the article by Annie Murphy Paul, "Home is more than a place to live, and interior designers are more than mere arbiters of taste. They're psychologists of a different stripe." The relationship between client and designer requires trust and understanding, in which the designer should be able to pick up on body language in making decisions about color and decor for the space they are designing.

Design is often seen as paint colors, fabrics and furniture, but when taken into effect by a passionate designer it can turn into a psychological appointment, where the designer can in memories, fantasies, hopes and other strong emotions for the spaces people occupy.

Psychology has links to memory and emotion in scent, color and we often place memories in objects. When design can take and manipulate memory and emotion to create comfortable, relaxing or even conducive for learning, we pull in elements of psychology.

"All the top Designers are good psychologists..."(Paul)
