Evidence-based design is moving into other domains - slowly. For me, interior design has always had a deeper meaning - something meaningful, something more important than just fabulous throw pillows.

The emerging field of evidence-based design (EBD) is quickly gaining traction based on decades of scientific research. Largely applied in health care settings, this field of expertise has seen a new way of thinking in architecture and design of health care facilities to create integrative restorative environments that improve patient outcomes. Our physical surroundings have a direct and immediate impact on mood and behaviour. Pretty sure we already knew this on a basic leve
