from the author:

Often interior design is first of all a way to express a way individuality, show style, status, power and wealth. But all these considerations concern only the external aspect. And if we look at the interior differently and apply the “inside” approach: what is most important to us? What if each time, making a change in it, we will ask ourselves whether it will really improve our physical and mental state? How will this or that thing look, what is the touch, what is its aroma, sound? Can a house help us to feel better?

We hope you will inspire 100 ideas presented in this book, and you will transform your house so that you can relax and restore strength, build strong relations and improve the quality of life in many other ways. In each chapter, we will analyze the main issues of creating an interior in which you will feel better. These are practical advice (regarding the quality of air and water and the optimum temperature), and design techniques (color, texture, lighting and connection with nature).

Method of biophilic design

our approach To the achievement of mental and physical health proceeds from the principles of biophilic design. It is based on a person’s innate love for nature and all living things. Biophilic design is based on three principles aimed at improving our connection with nature.

nature in the interior: the use of real elements of nature and other methods of communication with it. We will focus on what can remind us of nature through all the organs of feelings: vision, touch, hearing, smell and taste.

Natural analogues: images of nature and everything that reminds us of it, through its imitation objects, forms, colors, patterns and textures and even technological solutions.

nature of the interior itself: imitation of the spatial properties of natural media to strengthen or awakening reactions. For example, the creation of places for relaxation, where we feel safe, or a study of space, which can be covered with one glance.
