Biophilia is defined as a love of nature and sums up the addition of greenery and natural elements in the built environment. It revolves around incorporating natural light into spaces to improve people’s health and well-being. Such an interior design is extremely useful when it comes to creating a healthy living and working environment. Well-being, productivity, air quality and flow, and overall human health are enhanced by biophilic design elements.
Colors
Choosing natural color schemes inspired by nature is one key strategy. Think grass green, sky blue, or other earthy tones that subtly reflect the beautiful outdoors. Not only do these palettes soothe eyes tired from staring at screens all day, they also add a visual aspect without overwhelming the senses.
Natural light
Incorporating sunlight and naturally inspired colors are intertwined and essential components of biophilic design, bringing not only beauty but also health benefits to our everyday spaces. Vitamin D, also known as the sunshine vitamin, is vital for calcium regulation, lowering high blood pressure, helping muscles and overall health.
Materials
Imagine your living space filled with the rich, earthy textures of wood and stone. Now imagine how much more inviting it would be if you added some lush greenery to this environment. This is the essence of using natural materials in interior design. The versatility of wood, stone and other natural materials makes them ideal for creating biophilic interiors that connect us with nature on a deeper level. A properly placed wooden table or a stone accent wall can significantly improve the air quality in your home by naturally purifying the air we breathe. They also encourage a multisensory experience that involves our senses – sight, touch, even smell – and positively contributes to emotional regulation.
Natural elements bring warmth, which makes us feel welcoming and calm. Studies show that interiors that incorporate biophilic principles like this can improve overall well-being while reducing indoor pollution by as much as 20%.
Plants
Plants are not only beautiful; they are also natural air purifiers. Incorporating indoor plants or either green walls and roofs can help bring nature indoors. Whether plants are used in commercial biophilic interiors such as offices, hotels and gyms, or as part of residential biophilic design, plants add personality to any space and bring a range of health and wellbeing benefits.
