Abstract(s)
This thesis explores the positive effects of rustic design on
well-being and stress reduction, contrasting its impact with
non-rustic design environments. Employing a qualitative
approach, this study delves into how different interior
design styles influence psychological comfort.
Through thematic analysis of survey responses, it was
found that rustic designs, characterized by their use of
natural materials and a cohesive aesthetic, significantly
enhance well-being by promoting relaxation, reducing
stress, and fostering deeper personal connections. These
environments are perceived as more comforting and
restorative compared to the more dynamic and visually
stimulating non-rustic designs, which, while energetically
appealing, do not provide the same level of tranquility.
This research underscores the therapeutic potential of rustic
aesthetics in interior design and highlights the importance
of integrating natural elements to support mental health and
stress reduction. The findings contribute to the broader
discourse on sustainable design practices, suggesting that
enhancing well-being through design is not only beneficial
for individual health but also for fostering environments
that support psychological resilience.
