Nature Green space, sunlight, fresh air, and water not only have soothing effects creating a sense of peace, but they physically contribute to how our bodies operate. Vitamin D for example which is found in sunlight, allows the absorption of calcium preventing such diseases as osteoporosis, and according to Science News Online is proving to preserve muscle strength and gives people some protection against deadly diseases including multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and cancer. Function One of the number one considerations in interior design is function; it must work according to the users of the space. Function considers lifestyle, ergonomic, and anthropometric measurements. Aesthetics As people we are attracted to nice things. Beauty is of course in the eye of the beholder, so whatever is aesthetically pleasing to an individual also may lead to a sense of peace. A peaceful state helps to alleviate stress which as stated above is a precursor to numerous illnesses. Science Daily reports that Yale School of Medicine researches have found that acute and chronic stress can have devastating effects on the brain linked to cellular changes in the hippocampus. Indoor Air Quality We are becoming quite aware of how poor indoor air quality has a major effect on respiratory illnesses such as allergies and asthma. Some of the known offenders in this area are molds; forced air and heat; and toxic chemicals found in household cleaning products, furniture, flooring materials, and fabrics. Many of these items contain chemicals such as formaldehyde which is linked to cancer. All of these factors working against you make it that much more important to have proper ventilation in the home. |
