Biophilic design is the method of creating a space that is in perfect harmony with nature. The biggest advantage of a biophilic décor is that it reduces stress, enhances creativity and helps in creating a healthy space enabling the well-being of its occupants. As we tend to spend plenty of time indoors, you can use these principles to establish a direct and indirect connection with nature.
Maximum Exposure to Natural Light
Incorporate large windows and glazed walls to create a brilliant connection with the outdoor views. Try to organize your furniture around windows and make sure to keep all the windows clear and unobstructed. Let in fresh air, allow maximum cross ventilation, welcome the beautiful sounds of nature and bring in maximum sunlight.
Note that natural light guides our circadian rhythm and also creates a bright and airy space. You can also include glass tables and reflective mirrors to add reflected light to your decor.
Add Botanical Prints
Beautify your walls with botanical wallpaper or accentuate the walls with nature-inspired photographs, prints, wall murals and landscape paintings to create a symbolic connection with nature. Some examples include artistic representations of sunshine, butterflies, birds, animals, tropical foliage and so on.
Opt for Wooden Surfaces
Decorate your home with plenty of natural wooden furniture, flooring and wall panels that celebrate the organic beauty of wooden grains. Since natural wood is expensive, you can also go with wood finish laminates, flooring, veneer and tiles.
