In this class, you will discover the power of interior design in evoking a sense of joy. We will explore a myriad of examples from the world of interior design and delve into their profound impact on our happiness and joyous emotions.

During our journey, we will begin by examining the essence of joy and its typical manifestations. Next, we will explore several environments known for their ability to elicit joy. By analysing the five critical elements in these environments, we will uncover their direct influence on our joyous experiences.
