| With the increasingly expanding women consumer market, women are playing a more and more significant role in the society and undergo double psychological pressure in the pursuit of careers and familial responsibility. However, the unique emotional needs of women are rarely taken into consideration in current interior design, which oftentimes seeks for a popular and common design. Donald Norman, the American cognitive psychologist argued that the design of female space shall be attached to importance in his book Emotional Design and he called on interior designers to pay more attention to emotional needs of women themselves.In the perspective of emotional needs of women, the study gives an academic research in optimization of spaciousness of living space in interior design and analyzes the development trend of feminine subject in the future space design by the research. The study focuses on two aspects:one is the level of needs of women in interior design and the other is spaciousness optimization based on the feminine subject in interior design. In which, the first problem involves three levels:visceral level, behavioral level and reflective level. The visceral level refers to the first sensory response to the outside world of women and the study puts emphasis on the elements which can attract women in a short time; the behavioral level is the functional requirements of women and mainly concerns combination of emotions and comfort and conveniences and the study focuses on the practical functional requirements; design of the reflective level asks for high cultural needs, retrospect and introspection of memories on the mental level in addition to stimulating the sensory stimuli. The second problem is the research of spaciousness of living space in interior design on the basis of female emotions. The research starts from the handling of special interface and discusses improvement of spaciousness in interior design with the mainstream decoration styles in domestic market. In addition, the research gives study on adjustment of spatial level of different house types under various styles and cultural backgrounds, choice of the atmosphere of female space and the improvement of functionality of the space. And then, it provides a presentation of characteristics of female space from the perspective of matching of the handle, texture and color of materials and shapes of the three interfaces in the space and the extent of openness and closeness of the wall space, ground flooring and structure of the roof. With the example of small-sized space and in combination with capital cost, the paper gives specific measures on optimization of spaciousness from the perspective of ground layout, ceiling layout and facade layout and summarizes systematic theoretical guidance on interior design based on female emotions. Finally, the paper probes into design of interior living space based on female emotions with regards to optimization of spaciousness in interior design. |
