Canadians are no strangers to working from home, spending more time doing so than any other country in the world. It’s more important than ever to create a space that nourishes our overall well-being.
The Chesterfield Shop has been a fixture in the Toronto home furnishings landscape for over seven decades and is Canada's first Science in Design Certified retailer.
But What is Science in Design?
The unique Science in Design certification course focuses on the impact our surroundings have on our physical and mental health by bringing together elements of neuroscience, psychology, and cutting-edge design principles so interior designers and sales consultants can create spaces that both look beautiful and actively support the well-being of those who live in them.
"We're thrilled to be the first and only Canadian retailer to embrace the Science in Design approach,” says Hana Tanasijevic at The Chesterfield Shop, "This certification gives our team a whole new level of service and expertise for our clients. Yes, we want to sell furniture, but we also want to create homes that enhance our customers' lives."
By understanding the subtle ways in which colour, light, patterns, and textures affect our mood and how we think, the team of 11 graduates can truly guide clients toward choices that foster relaxation, support productivity, and promote general well-being.
"We believe good design has the power to transform lives," says Tanasijevic. "With this certification, we're better equipped than ever to understand our clients' needs and create spaces tailor-made for a better everyday experience."
Still questioning whether a beautifully designed home is more than meets the eye?
- Nourishing Relaxation: Ever stepped into a living room filled with soft textures, calming colours, and strategically placed lighting? This sense of tranquillity is exactly what a Science in Design expert can help you achieve -- a space that actively melts away stress.
- Boosting Productivity: A home office designed with Science in Design principles in mind can enhance your focus and reduce mental fatigue. A certified team member can turn your workspace into a hub of creativity using optimal colour palettes and natural light.
- Designing for Well-being: Everyone deserves a home that supports their health and happiness. The Chesterfield Shop team can work through the complexities of aging-in-place design to create spaces that are both stylish and accessible, or help you create a family space that fosters creativity and a sense of security.
