In today’s world, Smart materials are redefining how we live and feel in interior spaces. The response is guided by the impact of light, heat, and touch. Smart materials fill environments with a sense of movement and vitality which cannot be expected by traditional finishes. This response of human beings towards smart materials opens doors for the growing industry trends towards smart materials. Despite the good response of smart materials, the psychological response of smart materials remains unexplored. For instance, a simple transformation of a shifting panel changing wall colours can profoundly influence feelings of calm, focus, or comfort. By examining these subtle effects, it is possible to learn to craft interiors that not only perform functionally but also resonate on a deeply personal level. The primary objective of this research is to examine how smart materials impact mood, emotional comfort, and overall well-being within indoor environments. For this purpose, a comprehensive survey targeting both design professionals and everyday users, checking their awareness of smart materials and recording their emotional responses to such interventions in routine settings, was conducted. By identifying recurring patterns in perception and interaction, our aim is to give interior designers the insights needed to select materials that not only fulfil technical criteria but also actively promote mental wellness. Ultimately, this study seeks to move beyond technology for its own sake and toward interiors that genuinely feel better to inhabit.
