To create a fully satisfying client experience with each design project, consider all five senses. 

In this episode we learn:

  • sight—colours, patterns, prints, contrasts of light and dark
  • scent—aromas that evoke a mood and eliminating unpleasant odors
  • touch—varied texture on the walls, floors and furniture
  • sound—pleasant background music, comfortable acoustics and the elimination of unpleasant noise or anything that impedes hearing
  • taste—consider selection of plates, cutlery and glassware to enhance the taste of food and beverage
