Project Overview
How can room geometry and color accents be used together in architectural design to enhance comfort and discern preference in interior spaces?
My research project examines how room shape and wall color interact to influence human perception, specifically focusing on emotional response, comfort, and spatial judgment. Previous studies have explored color psychology, showing that different hues can affect mood, attention, and perceived warmth. Other research has analyzed architectural geometry, finding that room proportions and angles can shift perceptions of openness, safety, or spaciousness.
However, while the literature covers color effects and spatial design separately, there is a noticeable gap: Very few studies investigate how room shape and room color work together to influence perception.
Most existing research isolates one variable at a time, meaning we lack an understanding of the combined or interactive effect of shape and color in real or simulated spaces. This gap matters because interior spaces rarely involve only one design factor—shape and color coexist and likely influence each other.
To address this gap, my study investigates the interaction between wall color (warm, cool, neutral, pastel) and room shape (Rectangular and circular) to determine how these factors together impact a viewer’s emotional and spatial perception. This contributes a more holistic perspective that is underrepresented in current research on environmental psychology and interior design.
