A change is as good as a rest- especially when you decide to spend time inside a round shape and create your own space. Many types of research found out that shapes, spaces, and nature impact our psychology. Shelterdome, as a new and outdoor space and having a specific shape, provides positive emotional effects.
Space, shapes, environments can have a whole lot of impact on our feelings. Therefore, designs and shapes of the place we spend time and creating special activities can help us relax, be comfortable and even happier. While we were designing Shelterdome, one of our aims was to create a new lifestyle. For this reason, we did consider not only technical specifications but also ensured its function and design. So, how does Shelterdome affect our emotions and feelings?
1-Shape of Shelterdome
Shelterdome has a specific shape that is called ‘geodesic’. Geodesic shapes, besides other advantages, play a significant positive role in our perception. It is known that round or circular shapes are associated with positive qualities like infinity, eternity, dreamy, soaring, sparkling, safe, gentle, pleasant, graceful. Circles do not have angles in contrast to other geometric shapes, making them feel softer and milder. Circular shapes are much friendlier since they tend to invite the viewers into their completeness.
On the other hand, circular shapes are related to cosmos, sun, and astrological values. So, they give us a sight the circle is everywhere in the natural world. As a result, it becomes familiar -therefore secure- and comfortable.
But in the meantime, a lot of psychological research showed that these qualities also positively affect our mental health. Because, scientifically, seeing something beautiful or aesthetic makes us feel pleasure. Some hormones responsible for a good mood in the human body, e.g. endorphins, oxytocin, are caused by pleasure. This is why we promise on our website: ‘good mood guaranteed’.
As a result, the shape of Shelterdome has the ability, consciously or unconsciously, to affect you positively. There are, of course, more reasons than we mentioned here. For instance, dome shapes positive effects are also associated with the nervous system or have evolutionary bonds.
Long story short, Shelterdome offers a new, positive lifestyle if you like to go inside!
2–Creating your own space with Shelterdome
We spend most of our spare time indoors. The space we spend time has an essential role in our feelings and perceptions. The brain reacts to the geometry of the space, lighting, colours, configuration, proportions, acoustics, and materials you experience. It is not possible to go outside regularly. However, you can bring outside inside!
Combining an indoor with an outdoor place gives you a chance to create your own alternative space. Moreover, you can experience different decorations by designing your own space. It is up to your imagination!
Besides allocating time for yourself for personal activities, spending quality time with your loved ones increases happiness. Experts indicate that the importance of doing things that everyone would be interested in while you are socializing. Shelterdome is a functional place to plan a variety of activities.
To sum up, wherever you live, Shelterdome gives you a chance to create an alternative space for spending time alone or with family. Moreover, you can turn your igloo tent into a place for your plants.
3-Touch Nature with Shelterdome
It is proved that nature affects your mental well-being positively. Many therapists suggest ecotherapy for reducing daily stress. Connection with nature relieves psychological symptoms such as anxiety, frustration and depression while increasing overall feelings of health, social connection, self-esteem and awareness. In addition, spending time in a natural environment has cognitive benefits such as ability to focus.
We live in a stimulus-rich environment in modern times. But, we do not have much time spending time in nature. Nevertheless, there is an easy way to touch nature. You can put your Shelterdome in your garden. You may want also to put some plants inside, watch the sky and do yoga. Regardless of the weather, you can have an excellent time inside Shelterdome.
