Abstract

One of the most important buildings that serve children in early childhood is kindergartens. Therefore, the concern of the interior environment of these buildings has a direct impact on the psychological state of the children. The architectural and psychological studies did not specify this relationship clearly, specially, the effect of the interior design elements on the psychological needs of the children, which should take into account by the interior designer. The present study aims to reach preliminary indicators about the mutual relationship between the interior design elements and psychological needs of the children in kindergartens. To achieve the objectives, the study used the descriptive analytical approach to conclude this relationship. We also investigated the different definitions of the interior design and describe the different psychological needs of the children, and finally clarify the relationship between them, which we can find it clearly in our results.
