What is the psychology of space?

Every environment we inhabit affects our mood in some way. Some spaces fill us with positive feelings, while others make us feel worse. As we spend more time in a given space, sometimes even unconsciously, we try to adapt it to our needs so that we feel our best in it and so that it performs the expected functions. How an environment affects our mood is determined by a science called the psychology of space. It aims to create ideal interiors for their owners.

Colors as an element of space particularly affecting employees

A very large role is attributed to colors, which can intensely affect our mood. Properly selected for the interior color can have a calming effect or, on the contrary, recharge energetically. Therefore, it is very important when choosing colors for interiors to keep in mind several important points. First of all, it is worth considering what the purpose of the room will be – whether we will be working in it, or maybe it will be a place for relaxation or a meeting room. Depending on the functionality of the space and how much time employees will spend in it, you should choose the right color scheme. The size and lighting of the room are also important in the choice.

The size of your workspace matters

Another issue is the size of the space, which in turn determines the choice of furniture and its placement. This is the so-called kinesthetic factor, that is, the distances in the space and the possibility of movement. Every person is different, and one will prefer open spaces with little furniture and decorative elements, while another will feel better in a small, cozy place filled with plants and more accessories. It is worth keeping this point in mind when arranging an office space and adjusting it to suit a variety of needs.  

Sounds in the office

In the workplace, we want to feel comfortable in order to perform our work duties effectively. Excessive noise is definitely not advisable, so it is worth taking care of the proper arrangement of the space and its acoustics. A solution that will make it easier to work in places where frequent phone calls or meetings take place can be specially separated, muted spaces or the use of acoustic panels.

Spaces that motivate work

One of our favorite solutions to motivate employees to work is the use of personalized graphics, containing quotes or referring to positive memories associated with the company. Such graphics placed in the most frequently used spaces not only look great, but additionally reinforce in the minds of employees the feeling that they are part of a particular brand.
An office motivating to work is a modern office, decorated in accordance with the current trends. Multifunctional, ergonomic furniture, omnipresent greenery, ecological solutions, open space – these are the things to keep in mind when furnishing an office for the present times. Properly adjusted space can affect human relations, tightening them or causing misunderstandings or conflicts. In order to make the space positively affect relations between its users, it is worth taking care of a friendly and comfortable meeting place – a relaxation zone or a catering area of our office, where employees will enjoy a cup of coffee or eat a meal together during their lunch break.
