According to an article on the Corbin Design website, architecture and interior design can support or hinder wayfinding.
While many of the design choices may seem like common sense, the entire practice of wayfinding relies on simple, common-sense solutions, according to the article.
Some wayfinding/design facts:
• People get lost less often when hallways meet at right angles
• Staircases can aid understanding if they allow users to see into other parts of a building
• When different sections of a structure have unique appearances, people are less likely to get lost
• Visitors expect that each floor in a building is laid out in essentially the same way. When this is not the case, it can be confusing
• Adults find cool blue spaces easier to navigate than warm red spaces
