Adding a New Shelf - Curation

A bookshelf serves as the perfect solution. This piece of furniture not only offers practicality but also allows for personal expression, making it an excellent choice for home design. It enhances a room's decor while adding character and style. People can showcase their passions for literature, art, or travel. By organizing books by color, incorporating distinctive bookends, or using lighting like LED strips or small lamps to highlight specific areas, you can craft a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Ultimately, it becomes a reflection of your unique personality.

& Scientific texts

Scientific texts offer a solid foundation of knowledge across various fields, essential for anyone wanting to understand the principles behind scientific inquiry and discovery. By adding just a few key books, you can enhance your theoretical grasp of topics like fusion energy and recent advancements in nuclear fusion technology, which hold great promise for more sustainable and efficient energy solutions. 

According to an article published by tanic.design, a creative studio focused on hospitality design, “Color is the visual perception of different wavelengths of light. It is a property of light and, without it, we would not be able to perceive colors." 

When light hits an object, some wavelengths are absorbed while others are reflected. The reflected wavelengths are what we see as color. For instance, white is often associated with calmness in Western cultures, whereas in Eastern cultures, it can symbolize loss. Conversely, the color red typically represents aggressiveness in Western contexts.

Light - clouds, dreams, REM
As noted in Rethinking The Future, quoting William Shakespeare,” Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires.” The role of light in visual perception is vital, enabling us to interpret our surroundings. Upon entering a space, our eyes are the first to engage. Our brains process decisions based on what we see. In well-lit environments, our other senses are heightened, encouraging greater engagement and activity. Conversely, dim lighting tends to promote relaxation and lower energy levels. The intensity of light greatly influences our emotional and psychological states; brighter light is linked to more intense emotional responses, whether positive or negative.

Decor - plants, sculptures, artworks 
ArchDaily emphasizes the importance of biophilic design, which strengthens the connection between people and nature in architecture. By using nature-inspired patterns, colors, and materials, it creates spaces that reflect a sense of place, often incorporating natural views. Biologist Edward O. Wilson describes this as our innate tendency to connect with life and lifelike processes.

User-Centered Design is gaining popularity, and this article examines it alongside human-centered design, sustainability, and innovations like smart home technology. Technology helps us understand user needs and behaviors, enabling iterative testing and feedback to align design with requirements. Integrating smart tech enhances convenience, comfort, and energy efficiency through direct interaction or voice commands.
