The Rise of Biophilic Design & Bringing Nature Indoors
Biophilic Design & Bringing Nature In is not a fad; it enables humans to reconnect with nature in their living spaces.
With growing urbanization and a decreasing availability of green spaces, infusing wood and foliage in residential spaces makes them more inviting. Biophilic spaces have proven to make humans work 15% more effectively and reduce stress by 30% (Terrapin Bright Green, 2014).
Constructing a new environmentally friendly dwelling or introducing a little nature in a small apartment can make your property even better.
Integrating Natural Elements: Aesthetic & Functional Benefits
Embracing Biophilic Design & Bringing Nature Indoors involves utilizing natural materials and flora. Reused wood tables, living walls, and rock countertops make spaces cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing.
According to a Clean Air Study conducted at NASA, 87% of toxins can be eradicated in 24 hours through the use of interior plants.
Vertical garden can become a room’s focal point and purify the air, at a cost of $100 to $600 for each square foot to have installed. Reused wood furniture is 30-50% less in price compared to new hardwood, beneficial for your budget and for the environment.
