Abstract

It is important to design our living environments to provide a level of comfort and there are sciences and theories that make comfort a technical process. How do these theories and practices work together and how can they be applied to a material such as a wallpaper to encourage interior comfort. Research was done into practices such as feng shui, hygge, wabi-sabi, and color and pattern science to create three original wallpapers. The conclusion was that comfort and peace can be found in mindfulness and a connection to nature.
