A strong connection to nature is vitally important to our health and wellbeing, yet so much of our lives are spent indoors. Biophilic design creates connection to nature in our daily lives, through the spaces where we spend most of our time.
Examples include large windows and sliding doors that bring the outside in and nature-inspired colours in the home. These elements will be key to increasing mental and physical wellness while we spend more time indoors.
If you don’t have an outdoor space to enjoy nature’s gifts consider playing with botanical prints, such as floral wallpaper, or selecting soothing green hues to decorate you space. This will create a calming atmosphere reflective of nature. Interiors are no longer about bold display, but more about choosing soothing colours to promote peace and encourage comfort and cocooning.
If your room has limited views, introduce indoor plants and natural wood textures to emphasise the organic elements of the outdoors.
