What is Design Psychology?

Design Psychology is the practice of psychology as the primary design tool used in areas of architecture, interior design and clothing design.

Ever notice that when we're going through a life change we may have the desire to wear something different or move the furniture in a room into a new configuration? We may purchase a new bedspread for the bed or engage the proverbial decision whether to cut one's own bangs! The clothing in our closets or the paint on the walls just don't seem to feel "like us" any longer.

Life can bring on more pronounced changes such as needing to move to a different state or country, experiencing the loss of a spouse or having come out of a significant health condition. These situations can bring change in how we feel in our new environments, homes, shared spaces and once favored jeans. 

Whether you are a couple living together for the first time, recently moved to a new climate, recovering from a long-term illness, or wanting to have a space or clothing that represents the "real you," design psychology may be a helpful tool to consider.
