Colour, proportion and furniture styles are the heart of interior design, but its soul lies in the relationship of people to things and spaces : we call this "the secret life of rooms." Learn the psychology of interiors, explore how people relate to the spaces in which they live, and study how we use things to extend our selves. We shape our rooms, and our rooms shape us.
