Interior stamps are based on the peculiarities of perception
In Hollywood movies you can often see a typical "lair of a maniac": on the walls hung crosses and other religious symbols, magical items, newspaper clippings. Once in such an apartment, the police immediately realize that they are on the right track. How nice it would be if everything was so straightforward and simple in real life.
Human personality is a complex system of interaction of various traits, habits, preferences, accumulated knowledge and experience, and much more.
It is unclear exactly what we are trying to assess when we notice someone in the office or at home cluttered table. Such characteristics as punctuality? Or responsibility? Or pedantry? Or maybe the man suddenly had to stop work, and he just did not have time to clean up, while usually he has a perfect cleanliness on the table? But we've already labeled him a slob, though.
On the other hand, what exactly do we use as "clues" for our judgments about the owner?
Interior = the psycho customer + portrait of the designer...
There is no point in arguing that home is a reflection of ourselves. And many researchers in psychology tend to agree with this. And the house reflects not only the personality in the sense of" what I am", but also" how I would like to seem " — this is an important nuance.
Everything in your home-its internal and external appearance, objects and routine - all bears the imprint of your Self, real or desirable. The house is influenced by your childhood memories of the parental home, changes during life events, such as, for example, finding a partner, having children, aging.
But no less influence on the interior designers have to create it. Even if the customer pays a lot of attention to the planning of their future housing, the identity of the designer will still be imprinted in its interiors. And that is why it is so important to determine the psychological portrait-desired and valid-of their future housing.
What personality traits can be seen in the interior?
We are able to more or less assess the scale of introversion-extroversion, and the rest of the scales are very likely to make mistakes
Since there are so many personality traits, let's focus on the popular typology. It traditionally includes 4 scales:
* orientation of consciousness ( from extroversion to introversion);
* a way of orientation in the situation (from common sense to intuition);
* a way of making decisions (from rational thinking to decisions based on emotions);
* the way decisions are prepared (from advance planning to impulsive decision-making "according to circumstances").
Accordingly, in the interiors that we observe, signs of these personality traits can be found.
Extrovert or introvert?
Extroverts are open to the outside and attuned to the people and objects of the outside world. Their interiors are characterized by:
* large Windows "in the world", with, on Windows can not be curtains or curtains.
* the absence of walls between areas, for example, between the kitchen and living room, or the boundaries between these areas are purely symbolic;
• there may be no doors between the living room and the bedroom or between the bedroom and the bathroom (or the doors may be with glass inserts);
extroverts like clean and empty spaces, so they often tend to have different storage systems or a bunch of different boxes that get everything out of sight.
In the introvert's house, on the other hand, you will not see mixed zones.
You'll never get to his bedroom unless he shows it to you.
* Those premises that the introvert considers as his private property (bedroom, bathroom, etc.) will be hidden somewhere far away in the apartment behind seven doors.
* Windows in the apartment introvert, most likely, closed multilayer curtains of different densities.
* For an introvert it is also very important to have your own office or, if this is not possible, at least a small corner.
Common sense or intuition?
People who prefer to navigate the situation on the basis of common sense, also prefer to receive from the environment as much as possible specific and understandable information. In their apartments you can see:
* symmetrical (not chaotic!) hung paintings, symmetrically arranged furniture and interior objects (bedside tables, for example, or pillows on the sofa);
* some clear and precise guide lines - in the form of a grid, tiles, straight lines, etc.
• if we are talking about a country house, the entrance to the house can be seen immediately and from afar-the porch does not have to look, running around the house from all sides.
On the contrary, people who seek to act with the help of their intuition are guided by generalized, non-specific information. Therefore, the key clues about these characters will be:
* the presence of the original stairs-twisted or unusually decorated;
* the entrance to their country house you will find somewhere in a completely unexpected place (or it will lead to the most unusual staircase);
* intuitive type likes a combination of different textures, textures, happy to use stone next to wood, and fabric - with marble;
• on walls likely will not smooth there, and decorative textured plaster.
Logic or emotion?
When you get into the home of a logically oriented person who makes decisions based on careful consideration of details, the first thing you will see is the same carefully thought — out hallway.
Everything will be calculated, up to the level of the location of the hooks for the dog's leash.
In the apartment of his antagonist, guided by emotions, the hallway is likely not. Or its design was not paid due attention.
Also, here are a few signs of logic:
• not inclined to use warm tones, he likes blue, green;
* prefers doors between rooms.
A person for whom his emotions are the main reference point, loves to use warm colors in the interior. Special favorites are brown (and any "wooden" shades), beige, the color of melted milk or tan.
Such people have nothing against large open spaces and combining zones.
Plan or feelings?
Before you put a person "diagnosis", keep in mind that strangers could affect what you see in his apartment.
Amateur to plan and reflect on earlier decisions, of course, at the first meeting with a designer will bring your own floor plan and will argue that the designer should just accept it — and it's done.
In his apartment you will see:
* clear straight lines in the design of walls, ceiling, furniture and other interior objects;
* special attention-thoughtful organization of storage;
* there is a division into public, guest areas and private, private, where the entrance to outsiders will simply be prohibited.
Its opposite-the feeling type-prefers low furniture and wooden elements in interiors.
Nature feeling able to buy an apartment for only one magnificent view from the window.
They want to see in their homes:
* large Windows or glass doors opening onto the terrace,
• wooden staircase,
* space separation by means of wooden racks or light partitions-lattices.
Who-who lives in the house?
Do not rush to classify your friends, even if you think that you understand exactly the difference between the described psychotypes.
The same studies say that the only scale of all the above, which people can "read" more or less without errors-is extroversion-introversion. In other coordinate systems, the probability of error is very high.
Do not forget that a person can only use the design of another author. Or the interior of his house can perform a purely practical function, without subtext. Or is he simply not finished work on a new interior because of limited budget... While the brain is, of course, does not stop — it still will subconsciously draw conclusions and make evaluations.
