    2. How simplicity and complexity contribute to what we consider beautiful 
    3. How to curate your objects to make a space look beautiful despite the high number of objects 
    4. How “grouping”, “families” and “repetition” contribute to how we perceive a space 
    5. How the shape of objects can influence the complexity of a space and how we feel around it 
    6. How to pick colours strategically in order to make a space look more simple or more complex
