The present study aims to present the role of architecture and interior design in the process of neurological and psychological rehabilitation of people who have suffered trauma or are facing degenerative diseases. It is common to associate the influence of designed space in healing exclusively with hospital environments, but studies show that rehabilitation happens everywhere, so the article focuses mainly on everyday spaces. Through literature that
proves the various forms that sensory inputs can reach someone who recovers, we seek to understand the space completely and how every detail can be crucial to the improvement of an individual. The cognitive bias of the brain is also reinforced seeking to relativize the design process and make it more personalized, reframing from harmful generalizations to its complete potential for aid in healing.
