Biophilic interior design is a design philosophy that seeks to connect people with nature through the use of natural elements and materials in their interior spaces.
This often includes managing natural light, inviting in opportunities for planting, creating and celebrating views to nature and incorporating natural materials and textures. The goal is to create a space that subtly mimics what we find appealing in the natural environment which has been proven to positively influence health, wellbeing and mood.
What is biophilic interior design?
A go-to interior design strategy for companies including Google, Amazon and Adobe since 2017, the rest of the world is now starting to embrace the hidden and profound benefits of biophilic interior design.
Increasing the connection to nature in our indoor spaces has been found to have numerous health benefits. The proven impacts of biophilic design include reduced stress and anger leading to lower cortisol levels, improved memory function, a reduction in chronic pain and has been shown to even lower blood pressure.
In addition to this, biophilic design has also been proven to improve congnitive function, enhance productivity and concentration as well as boosting creativity whilst increasing attention and engagement. Biophilic design really does provide the optimum environment for work, rest and play.
