How is SpaceBehavior different than interior design or decorating?

Terry Cline / Frequently Asked Questions /

Think of SpaceBehavior as the full gestalt: the holistic ‘ontological/neurocentric-design‘ approach that assembles all the puzzle pieces into a coherent and effective entity. Interior designers and decorators, architects, and even therapists contribute important factors, but it takes a SpaceBehavior practitioner to join them into something that unites beauty and functionality with a positive mental and emotional state. SpaceBehavior coaching, consulting and designing is grounded in years of design experience and the on-going research by The Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture.

Interior designers might also do interior decorating (use objects to make a space more attractive), but interior decorators do not do interior designing. Architects may design but interior designers and decorators don’t do architecture. A SpaceBehavior practitioner may harness decoration, design, and architecture to create a living dwelling or workspace that enhances who you are and what you do—but decorators, designers, and architects who don’t employ neurocentric-design strategies won’t be able to work the same level of magic.

In short, SpaceBehavior is the missing ingredient. It allows you to fully understand how the spaces you live and work in profoundly impact your behavior and your well-being.
