INTERIOR DESIGN FOR WELLBEING - FIRST STEPS - April 23rd 2025 12PM GMT
Join us on April 23rd 2025. This session is an introduction designed to highlight the key principles of designing for Wellbeing. It is interactive and hosted as a Zoom meeting.
When we design for wellbeing, we aim to create spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also healthy and comfortable. These spaces are intentionally designed to support physical, mental, and emotional comfort. Ultimately, the goal of designing for wellbeing is to provide individuals with the opportunity to make choices that support their own sense of wellness. By creating spaces that prioritise comfort and health, we can empower people to actively choose wellbeing in their everyday lives.
Good design supports wellbeing and the real values for a wealthy life. We can do better in the way we use our built environment and how we live in interior spaces. They are tools for life so let’s make them work for us, for a good life worth living.
This lunchtime session could be your first step.
Designed to help you start incorporating Wellbeing into your Interior Design and Architectural work, this session explores what Design for Wellbeing is, why this should be part of your skillset and introduces you to two fundamental concepts: user profiles and design characteristics, key foundations for Designing for Wellbeing.
Join us on the 23rd of April for a 1.5-hour Lunchtime session, hosted via Zoom.
