Abstract
Well-being is related not only to physical health, but also to many other factors about our lives and living environments. It is a very ephemeral condition in relation to the complex system of interconnected components changing from culture to culture and person to person together with time and space. In this sense, design for well-being is an issue that requires intense research on subjective aspects. The chapter begins by discussing different conceptions of well-being and goes on by discussing what design can do for well-being. After discussing the spatial dimensions of well-being, the study focuses on the role of interior design in promoting well-being and underlines the importance of the concepts of flexibility, sense of place, and contact with nature.
