Rudolf Steiner, founder of the Theosophy offshoot he termed Anthroposophy, created an entire ideology of aesthetics, which included architecture, interior decoration, even type font, all meant to draw vital forces down into human society and vivify the soil (Biodynamics)
On Mark Sedgwick's Traditionalists blog, information was published that Frithjof Schuon's father was influenced by Steinerism/Anthroposophy, which may account for Frithjof Schuon's great interest in what he and his follower termed 'ambiance' -- art, living quarters, etc.
Some cults with a drive to create total, wrap around environments may derive inspiration from other sources.
Steiner was driven to do exactly this. It takes a genius for detail to go to lengths of even designing type font meant to draw 'vital forces' down into a document, let alone specify what colors children should be allowed to use, and even specifying that beeswax crayons and water based paint (made and sold by Steinerian businesses ) are whats best for school art projects.
