A home should help improve our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. What actions can we take to improve our home health?
Biophilic Design
Biophilic design is a real passion of mine so as you’ll see there is plenty of content for you to browse here. Whether you are wanting to bring the benefits of nature into your home by creating a biophilic office space, a bedroom, a kitchen or a living room, I have written posts designed to help you navigate biophilic design at home.
I have broken down the main principles of biophilic design and shared advice for integrating it into your home. From natural light, textures, patterns and materials to colours, shapes and forms, adding a touch of biophilia to your home interior will now be simple.
I’ve also shared examples of hotels and spa retreats so that you can take inspiration for your own home. These public spaces are increasingly adopting a more biophilic approach to design as the many benefits are much more easily measured and proven in public spaces. The business case is often stronger because there is a marked improvement in the bottom line. This is much harder to prove in residential interiors.
Bringing nature into the built environment is about more than just adding plants and painting everything green. So check out the posts below to find out how to turn your home into a nature-inspired haven that is good for your soul.
