HOSPITALITY DESIGN

TSUTAYA BOOKS & STARBUCKS

When designing interiors, the aim of the designer is to create space that is pleasing to the eye, but what about that person who is visually impaired? How do you design for this person?

​

A visually impaired person is not totally blind, and as a result, is sensitive to light. It is crucial in making the living space habitable for them. Yellow works best for this group, it is the brilliant colour that helps visually impaired people to navigate their way around the space independently.

Instead of relying on just one colour for the interior. The mix & match of different textures for different surfaces, which is even more efficient. Yellow works well with a variety of colours, such as blue, green and orange, which will lend contrast in the décor. Besides,  potted plants and flowers work well with yellow which bring a natural feel to the space and also filter the air. 5 senses which are visual, hearing, smelling, tasting & feeling are fully consider into the design.
