The latest home decor trends often focus on the way a space looks, however, a new school of thought for interior design is looking into how a space also makes you feel. Sensory design is an inclusive approach to interiors that looks beyond appearance and aesthetics.
Unlike other home decor trends sensory design considers how a room impacts all five conscious senses (touch, sight, hearing, smell and taste), and subconscious senses, like temperature, body awareness, and emotional processing. The easiest way to integrate this new approach into the home as a starting point is through a sensory nook, carved out of the corner of a bedroom or living room.
