How to achieve the biophilic design look
The natural world has fast become a fixture in the modern home, due largely in part to its health and wellness benefits. As a result, the biophilic trend has enjoyed a natural rise in popularity, instilling a synergy between the wellbeing of inhabitants in the home. Dulux colours featured: Pesto and Pencarrow
Biophilic design by definition is the incorporation of elements from the natural world into your home to boost a feeling of connection to nature.
With the ability to reduce stress, enhance creativity, heighten clarity and improve wellbeing, it’s little wonder this trend is taking centre stage within the design realm. Here are four ways to achieve it in your own home.
1. Adopt houseplants
A cost-effective way to bring the outside in is to invest in houseplants. Not only do they augment the décor, but they also improve air quality of your home.
With a backdrop of Dulux Snowy Mountains Half and pops of earthy colours infused in beautiful textured and colourful pots, you’ll soon wonder how you ever lived without them.
2. Create transitional spaces
Biophilic design isn’t just restricted to the interior of your home. Creating transitional spaces that guide your path between the different environments can help promote a more natural and stylish flow.
An enriching extension of your home styling could be something as simple as a soothing Pale Tendril Half pergola, shrouded in vines against a Jungle Cloak wall.
3. Take a holistic approach
Rather than focus on the natural styling in the heart of your home, such as the living room, enhance the overall impact throughout your home by extending the style into secondary spaces like offices, dining areas and even bathrooms.
Snowy Mountains Half can provide a clean slate for natural details, while a versatile green like Pesto can effortlessly enrich any space.
4. Make the natural colour choice
Extend the biophilic design to all areas of your home with the addition of neutrals, natural tones and whites, like Dulux Natural White™.
Both peaceful and serene, this crisp colour can provide a flawless blank canvas that beautifully heroes the greenery throughout.
Biophilic design is an invitation to bring the natural energy of the outdoors into your home. The best way to amplify its rejuvenating effects is with considered colour choice.
Regardless of the hue or tone, you’ll want to choose a paint that can withstand even the harshest conditions, which is why more and more Australians are painting with Dulux Wash&Wear® inside and Dulux Weathershield® outside.
