Interior Design and Human Perception
#1

Visual Perception
Visual perception is the ability to interpret information and surroundings from visible light reaching the eye.
Visual Impression
Visual Impression is the understanding of reality that comes along with vision and movement. For example a fire or bright sunlight is hot and warm and so we associate the colors red and orange with heat. The sturdy upright of a tree trunk relates naturally to a sense of solidity and stability

All of these associations are reinforced by the kinetic impressions (Kinesthetic Experience ) that we receive from our own bodily positions and movements.

Despite the subjective nature of perception , our sight is still the most important sense of gathering information about interior design. In the seeing process , we are able to reach out through space and trace the edges of objects scan surface feel texture and explore interior space. The tactile, kinesthetic nature of drawing in direct response to sensory phenomena sharpen our awareness in the present expands our visual memories of the past and stimulated the imagination in designing the future of interiors.
