What is Neuroaesthetics? 


Neuroaesthetics explores how different shapes, colors, textures, and compositions influence our brain. Scientific studies have shown that certain aesthetic features can activate areas of the brain associated with pleasure and relaxation.


Applications of Neuroaesthetics in Interior Design


Shapes and Geometry: Curved lines and organic shapes are often perceived as more pleasant than angular ones. Incorporating furniture with soft lines can create a cozy and relaxing atmosphere.

Color and Light: Colors have a direct impact on our emotions. Shades of blue and green are associated with tranquility and relaxation, while reds and oranges can stimulate energy and creativity. Lighting also plays a crucial role; natural light is always preferable for overall well-being.
