Home-Psych: The Social Psychology of Home and Decoration - Understanding How Interior Design Affects Mood & Relationships | Perfect for Homeowners, Designers & Psychology Enthusiasts

Ever wonder why you try so hard to have . . . or not have . . . your parents' decorating style? Why you feel compelled to place a velvet Elvis in your Ethan Allen dining room? Why you use red as a neutral, or prefer square lamps over curved ones? I wasn't looking for answers to such weighty questions because it had not dawned on me that decor was more than eye candy. I stumbled on the book in the library thirty years ago and purchased an old copy recently. I felt that this intelligent book gave me an important insight into how I furnish my home and the messages I send in my public space and the messages I express in my intimate space. I thought it was a very good book that reaches beyond its era of publication. I found it a good companion book to John Molloy's Dress for Success and/or Live for Success.
