Natural Elements in Modern Interior Design
Do you know anything about biophilia or biophilic design? Biofilm is a term that describes the love of nature. Many of us find peace in taking time out in nature, as we are intrinsically linked with the natural world. Biophilic design is the use of our love of nature to design things like our homes. Biofilm design is used to help humans stay in touch with nature. It is also thought to have a number of health benefits, such as:
- Stress reduction
- Increased brain power
- Reduction in depression and anxiety.
How to incorporate natural elements in interior design?
- Choose natural materials.
Using natural furniture is a great way to connect with the world from the comfort of your own home. Choices like wooden furniture, leatherwork, cotton linens and dried flowers can make a big impact. Think about the peace you feel when you are out in nature and consider the power of bringing that into your home.
- Select calming and organic colors.
You will want to create a comfortable environment that reflects who you are. Color schemes can be a source of stress. If you want to achieve a natural look, you need to pick out colors that are neutral and earthy. Blue for the sea, green, and even orange and pink should be used when you want to create accents and are best chosen from nature.
- Choose furniture that is rustic.
When you choose new furniture for your home, choosing natural wood options will not only give you natural vibes, but it will make your home feel rustic no matter where you live. Wood is a natural material that looks beautiful and will draw attention when you have guests.
- Use Natural accessorize
When you decorate and furnish your home with biophilia in mind, you can use the same inspiration to help you accessorize. For dining spaces, opt for seagrass mats, urns, and other items made from earthenware. Use dried grasses and flowers to brighten up key pieces of furniture.
Whether you want to use all our tips or just a few, biophilic design is a great way to connect with Mother Nature in a way that suits your individual style. Before you start making major changes, take some time to think through the changes you want to make and then enjoy seeing your natural home take shape. When it is finished, you will feel more calm and peaceful than you do right now!
