Before modernity, Interiors were part of enhanced living. Humanity’s way to connecting with the universe. It was believed that symbols, amulets, and even colours brought into the home, influence our wellbeing. With modern life, we lost that to Form&Function as we’ve prioritized this duality ever since. Going against it is now unquestionable. It is so ingrained in how we understand the built environment that the sheer proposition that Form&Function is not everything in design is blasphemy.

Modernity transformed architecture into independent shells, and we have lived in these shells ever since. Some of us learned to like - even bond - with bare white interiors, with minimalism, with de-ornamentation. I’m one of them – to a certain extent. Minimalism, from an evolutionary perspective, is one of the most unnatural ways to construct an interior. Yet, in the bombarded lifestyle of today, it is a great healing fit for overwhelmed souls. Why?

Because we all have unique connections with our surroundings, minimalism, like many other styles, is not for everyone.

During my latest certification courses in positive psychology and the science of wellbeing, I’ve probed and explored the numerous ways human beings can control and adjust different aspects of their lifestyle to enhance their wellbeing, health, and, ultimately, the length of their lives.

If you want to tap into using your interiors to contribute to that, Selftropy™ – is my gift to you.
