Norman Doors

Norman Doors are doors that are confusing or poorly designed, making it unclear whether to push or pull. Named after design expert Don Norman, these doors often have ambiguous handles or shapes that don't clearly indicate their function, leading to user frustration. For example, a door with a flat plate might suggest push, but it needs to be pulled, causing confusion. Good door design considers human behavior and perceptions, ensuring handles and signage clearly communicate how to operate them, preventing mistakes and improving safety and user experience.
