Interior Design Psychology

interior designWhen designing any space, we have to take into consideration the purpose of that space and who is likely to be using it. It may sound obvious but there would be little point in putting expensive luxurious furniture and deep plush carpets in a room that is to be used as a child’s play room, similarly we wouldn’t want to create a busy distracting environment and put our computer in the bedroom if our intention is to get a good night’s rest.

By: Nadia Osman

First, she told me she replaced the number one bedroom furniture priority: the bed. She opted to upgrade her bedroom with contemporary furniture and bought a platform bed. They are low-profile, meaning they only rise about three or four inches off the ground, and don’t need a box spring, which save her about five hundred bucks.

By: lisa stevens

 

Unlike goose down where there are tons available in the world, there are only a few thousand pounds of Eiderdown produced each year. This wild bird from far northern regions like Iceland, Canada and Scotland lines the nest with the down, the soft undercoating from the breast. When the nest has been abandoned the down is harvested and cleaned. Eiderdown today comes from farms where the birds are protected. Due to recent popularity of Eiderdown, it is in short supply and so the price has increased significantly.
