The debate on whether a design is good or bad is a never-ending one. From terrible public space "solutions" to ideas so bad, it’s hard to believe someone came up with them, we've covered plenty of the latter over the years. So how about we balance out the scales a little bit?
There’s nothing more satisfying than stumbling upon designs that are so visually pleasing, it's almost healing. Here’s where the Instagram account called Design Therapy comes in. It is dedicated entirely to exploring innovation in design, from architecture and interior to furniture and product.
Some of these ideas can be observed in real life, others exist only as a sketch on paper. However, they prove that being a designer can sometimes feel a lot like being a therapist. Bored Panda combed through this treasure trove of inspiration, handpicked some of the best examples, and put them all in one place for you to enjoy. So continue scrolling and share your thoughts with us in the comments!

"During the study of autism, I noticed that some of the symptoms are related to tactility, lighting, sound, smell. I realized that all of them deal with the environment. So I thought if those are environmental issues, I can do something for them — I can design certain interior spaces to make them feel at ease. Certain types of colors, certain types of lighting," he told Healthy Building Science.
Hopefully, accounts like Design Therapy will only help to spread the word about linking buildings with design and emotional well-being even further. And if you have any examples to share, don't be shy and post them with #DesignTherapy to get featured!
