The co-Founder of The Modern House and Inigo examines how our homes have the power to make us feel profoundly better in every aspect of life.

As a society, we’re spending more time at home than ever before. Advances in technology and shifting working patterns mean that two-thirds of our waking lives now take place in one location. At the same time, people are being diagnosed with depression and anxiety in record numbers. We see psychologists and counsellors, exercise furiously, meditate quietly and change careers to find purpose. But what if we can influence our mental health by thinking more carefully about our environment?

Homing looks at every element of life at home and finds big and small ways to improve our wellbeing. How does comfort and personal space relate to a sense of safety? Why do we build houses that express our social identities, or rescue dilapidated structures – and does it emotionally fulfil us? Can basic acts like cooking, gardening, sex and sleep really have a profound impact on the way we feel?

Matt Gibberd convincingly shows that home is where we truly connect with our innermost selves. It’s the backdrop to a life lived fully, where ideas are shared, problems are overcome, and energy is restored.
