One of the hottest Interior and Architectural trends right now is Biophilic design. But what is it?
Biophilia is defined as the innate human instinct to connect with nature and other living beings. The way to translate this into something simpler is to describe this trend as getting closer to nature. The reason this trend is so hot and so relevant right now is because it's been found that the Biophilic design supports our physical and mental health, and our overall well-being. Although there is nothing new in the thought of us, humans enjoying nature, its impact on our life gained an extra momentum after the experiences of the last two years of pandemic. Never before the people connection with nature has been so crucial and so important to our race.
The Biophilic designs are simply a way of expressing our gratitude, appreciation and never-ending need of being part of the natural word.
So, how to do BIOPHILIC in our everyday lives?
This is actually a very easy trend to follow and one that doesn't require a lot of effort or investment.
The way to attack it is to think green. Painting your favourite room or some elements of your house in a lovely green tone is a very effective way of staying on trend. If you have a tired looking cabinet or dresser, give it a quick makeover with a touch of green.
There is also a great emphasise on light. If you want to incorporate biophilic elements into your home, it's worth considering exposing your home space to more daylight by reducing the amount of curtains or blinds. It's also a good idea to move your furniture closer to your garden door or windows to benefit from the natural light.
And last but not least are the plants themselves. Introduce them to your home in abundance. Have them scattered around, create a cluster of your favourite ones or go high fashion and invest in a living wall. Have yourself a bit of your own oasis and connect.
