Notes when designing interiors for introverts

(Dan Tri) - Introverts have rich inner lives and need suitable living spaces to maintain mental balance. A well-designed house can become a safe and comfortable haven for them.

According to psychologists, introverts are divided into four main groups: social introverts, thinking introverts, anxious introverts, and inhibited introverts. Each group has different interior design needs.

Social introvert

This group is not afraid to socialize but is limited to family and close friends. Therefore, the living space needs to ensure a balance between privacy and social interaction.

The interior space of the house needs to be designed in an open style but with private areas. Communication areas such as the living room are cozy but still have small quiet corners where they can retreat when needed.

Introverts need quiet, so interior design should pay attention to noise reduction. Using sound-absorbing materials such as carpets, thick curtains and soundproof walls will help limit echoes.

Social introverts often prefer soft lighting, so the design should take full advantage of natural light and have adjustable curtains to create a relaxing space when needed.

Introvert thinking

This group spends a lot of time in their inner and creative world. They need spaces that stimulate their imagination but are not distracting.

Therefore, interior design needs to stimulate the imagination. You can use abstract art or symbolic interior details to create inspiration. However, it is important to note that the design should avoid confusing patterns, do not use black and white stripes or elements that can easily cause confusion, because it can make them think too much.

These people also need a quiet working space. A small corner arranged reasonably with a comfortable desk, soft chair and suitable lighting helps them concentrate better.

Anxious introverts

This group of people is very sensitive and easily affected by their surroundings. Interior design should create a sense of security and help them feel comfortable. Soft colors such as pastel or neutral tones will give them a sense of relaxation.

The interior space needs to be neatly organized, avoiding clutter that causes anxiety. They also need a private relaxation area that can integrate meditation, yoga or reading corners to relieve stress.

Like social introverts, anxious introverts also need soundproofing solutions to create absolute silence.

Inhibited introvert

This group tends to be cautious and likes to control their living environment. They need a space that is thoughtfully designed and convenient. The interior design needs to have optimal functionality, ensuring that every detail in the house is arranged reasonably and convenient for daily activities.

In addition, interior materials are also carefully selected because this group pays great attention to the feeling of touching objects.

Unlike the three groups above, the introverted group needs a space for social connection to relieve stress. Therefore, the interior design needs to have areas that encourage interaction, such as a cozy dining table or a tea corner, to help them open up more to their loved ones.

General notes

Regardless of the group, introverts have a common need for quiet, balance and minimalism. Therefore, when designing a home for them, it is important to ensure that the space is airy and has few furniture. The lighting system is flexible and can be easily adjusted to suit the mood.

In addition, the interior needs to be accented with natural elements such as green trees, natural materials such as wood and stone to help bring a sense of safety and closeness.
