How are you all doing today? Hopefully alright, and if not, I hope the pain eases soon. I was feeling summer vibes and thinking about aesthetics, and I decided to look at the links between aesthetics and mood. I'm going to be covering a couple things, so let's get into it, shall we?

Defining Aesthetic Experiences

┗━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━┛

"Aesthetic experience concerns the appreciation of aesthetic objects and the resulting pleasure. Such pleasure is not derived from the utilitarian properties of the objects but linked to the intrinsic qualities of the aesthetic objects themselves."

-frontiers in sociology webpage

Aesthetics are split into two categories: natural aesthetics and human artifacts aesthetics.

Human Artifacts Aesthetics Examples:

↬Poetry

↬Music

↬Visual Arts

Several studies have made links between pleasure and aesthetics. Aesthetic experience has been connected to mindfulness as well as meditation. It has cognitive results in promoting physical and physiological well-being.

For example, museums have proven to be a healthy environment for therapy because of the aesthetic experience. Therapy in museums can lower stress levels, improve memory, and improve social interaction.

Aesthetic Choice

┗━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━┛

However, we all have different preferences when it comes to defining what is aesthetically pleasing. I'm going to go over a small list of things that help define what a person perceives as aesthetic.

『Perceived Beauty』

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," after all. We all have different colors and textures that we find more aesthetically pleasing than others. Usually, things that are easy to stimulate have a more positive reaction on the brain, and are viewed as beautiful.

『Expression』

『Skill』

Skill is related to iration we feel, which affects how aesthetically pleasing we see something.

『Originality』

『Emotional Response』

Does the piece seem to move you in some way?

『Message』

『Style』

『The Sublime』

The sublime refers to what makes us feel awe struck.

『Fame』

Image (especially in the media) can very much so sway the way we view something and weather we associate it with positive or negative emotions.

Interior Design Aesthetics

With the impact that aesthetic can have on our mood, it's important that we surround ourselves with a pleasing aesthetic. I'm going to go over some important factors in interior design that affect aesthetic.

『Light』

Light has correlation to mood, energy, and higher morale. Light can also increase individual discovery. Endocrine, which regulates the immune system, is a product of sunlight. Use your windows wisely in room design in an effort to make your room well lit. Living in a dark space can drag you down emotionally. If you're struggling to brighten your room, consider using bright colors that reflect light, rather than absorbing it all.

『Texture and Pattern』

Textures play a role in sensory imagery. Patterns that are repetitious are soothing on the brain. Oftentimes, patterns that resemble nature (e.i. ocean waves and plants) are more calming.

『Room Organization』

Rooms with an open and inviting layout create happier responses. Keeping a uncluttered space can really make you feel better about your living conditions and improve your mental space. Clutter can cause anxiety in individuals, so arrange your room in a way so that it looks organized.
