Applying Sensory Science, you'll create a space that enhances your
life. A few examples will show you how.
Color can make even an empty space either
energizing or relaxing.
Extraverts
thrive in areas with levels of sensory input that overwhelm
introverts. Extraverts like to be nearer to other people than introverts. When
furnishing a home, extraverts are apt to use more sofas in their
living rooms, and orient their seats so that they face each other. Introverts
will use more individual chairs in their living rooms, and orient the
chairs in a semi-circle around some focal point (such as a fireplace),
so that they can make eye contact, as desired.
People
who feel that they control their own destiny are more likely
to change aspects of their physical environments to meet their
needs and to use furniture in unconventional ways than people who believe their lives are controlled by forces beyond their influence. People in this second group are more likely to surround themselves with decorative
objects than those in the first. People who feel that they control their
own fate prefer furnishings with straighter lines, while
people who feel that they don't
prefer furniture with more curved lines.
The
examples above apply just a few of the principles of Sensory
Science. Contact PlaceCoach® to learn more about integrating
