Interior design is a wide profession that can drastically influence how people feel and use a room. Marco Costa’s research on the effect of color in a room and Markus Canazei’s study on the effect of natural light in a room both focused on how adults were influenced by light and color in rooms. This ultimately led to both studies in this research process focused on teenagers because there isn’t a great amount of research on how light and color can affect teenagers in a room. The results showed that teenagers have a preference towards neutral and cool tones as opposed to adults who prefer warm tones. Teenagers also have a preference towards natural light similar to adults. More research can be done on understanding how light and color can affect teenagers in other environments such as school settings. Further research is necessary to obtain more information on the psychological impact of interior design on teenagers.
