Introduction

People often organize their room, or more specifically workplace for optimal level of arousal for optimal level of performance. Some decoration can be a compensation for lack of its feeling in the person’s life or working time.

Ranges of feeling

Let’s call an experience A. A can be anything, either appreciation, hanging out with friends, family closeness, etc.

If someone never experience A, they would not have missed it. Hence, no need for regulators.

If someone experiences a lot of A, on the daily basis, they also would not have missed it. Hence no need for regulators.

The range that we’re looking at here is when someone doesn’t have a lot of A. Then that person would crave and treasure A. Hence there is a need for regulators.

Characteristic

Content

Objects often have symbolic meanings; you need to pay attention to them when analyzing rooms. This can be a difference between identity claim and feeling regulator.

There will be cases where something completely random for one can have symbolic, emotional value to others. Namely, piece of clothes, collected stone, a mug, etc.

Location

Relative location is an important factor, it separates the same object being a feeling regulator or a identity claim.

Location also reveals on the level of that feeling being needed. Either a small doses whenever the person need them or constantly needed daily.

You also need to pay attention to the level of messiness in the room. Which can help interpret if that object was left there unintentionally, was there a long time ago, or being used to regulate feeling.
