Are you curious about the ongoing popularity of plants and how they relate to biophilic design? This article looks at how greenery has gained traction as a vital detail that makes a space feel more welcoming and lived in. #dmvhomes #hometrends #homedesign

"If there’s one #design accessory that’s become as standard as a throw pillow for a living room or a cozy blanket for a bedroom, it’s a #plant. Surely, placing a plant indoors is nothing new, but the expectation that a room isn’t complete without one is. In recent years, #greenery has gained traction as a vital detail that makes a space feel more welcoming and lived in, whether that’s exemplified in the popularity of a fiddle leaf fig or in the ease of potted #succulents. "Some people even argue that their love of plants goes further than just having a #GreenThumb. To them, their plants are 'pets.' And while plants do have a place in many different #design philosophies — from bohemian and mid-century modern to contemporary and traditional — they’re particularly at home in the realm of #BiophilicDesign. If you’re curious about the ongoing popularity of plants and how they relate to biophilic design, as well as ways to bring this lasting trend into your home, read on to learn more. “'Biophilic design is a strategy for returning to nature in the design of buildings,' says #architect and designer Nicholas Potts. 'This can take on many forms and occur at multiple scales, from the incorporation of #GreenWalls to entire buildings that attempt to replicate natural structures. The overall goal is largely consistent: Biophilic design aims to appropriate the wisdom of natural processes to increase comfort, while reducing the impact a building has on our strained #environment.' "If the emergence of plants as a must-have design feature seems like it really took off in the last decade, then perhaps it’s important to look at the impact #sustainability has had on people at the same time... 'Buildings are among mankind's largest users of natural resources, from the use of materials in construction and demolition, to the resources we use for heating, cooling, and electricity,' Potts continues. 'By studying #nature, designers are largely looking to reduce the inefficiencies of traditional building systems and materials.' "Biophilic design includes plenty of opportunities to let the outdoors in, from skylights and full-length windows to indoor #PlantBeds and #LivingWalls, which can foster a respect and appreciation for the outside world. In some cases, biophilic design can mimic nature itself, such as a structure that resembles a #TreeCanopy."

How can design be used to understand people's needs and what impact does design have on the environment? In an interview with Jonas Pettersson and John Löfgren, the founders of the Swedish design studio Form Us With Love, we get an exciting insight into their approach, which allows them to design concepts, furniture and products for renowned companies such as IKEA and Hem. They emphasize the advantages of modular design and claim that a holistic recycling of materials in the sense of the "nose to tail" approach, just like in cooking, is important to make the industry more sustainable and to deal with resource challenges.

"As much as those who are committed to living a more #sustainable lifestyle would like to work and live in such environmentally sound surroundings, all is not lost if those are out of reach. Again, that’s where #plants come in.   “'Biophilic design refers to design that takes advantage of nature, so this can mean anything from houseplants to #PlantWalls,' says principal and founder David Mann of MR Architecture and Decor. 'I am all for it, in any way, shape or form. Sometime in the future, our home #interiors may resemble well-maintained #gardens with invisible floors, ceilings, and walls. In the meantime, terrariums, #GreenHouses and #IndoorPlants inch us in that direction.” "Potts agrees, and adds a friendly reminder. 'Their presence is much more than just an aesthetic feature,' he says. 'Plants, of course, consume carbon dioxide from the air during photosynthesis, improving indoor air quality, and filter light from overexposed windows, cooling the home...' "Overall, he notes, you want to create a space for the climate you’re in, and for the planet at large. 'Invest in things that last a lifetime, rather than disposable trends.'"   Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eNMrBK9C #PlantsAtWork #GreeneryWorks #PlantLove #GreeneryLove #GoGreen #ThinkGreen #GreenUp #GreenDesign #InteriorDesign #CalgaryDesign #BringOutdoorsInside #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #YYCDesign #YYC #GreeneryOfficeInteriors #GreeneryCalgary #Calgary #YYCBuzz

"There are so many different #design styles to choose from when deciding how you want your home to look. From bare-bones minimalism to mid-century modern and maximalism, there is no shortage of design inspiration. One design principle that is currently gaining popularity is #BiophilicDesign. "The concept is not new by any measure—its origins can be traced to the mid-1980s—but more designers are using this principle to shape their overall design philosophy, bringing elements of #nature into their work through textiles, materials, light, and colour... "At its core, biophilic design is about connecting our #LivingSpaces more thoughtfully to nature, bringing the outdoors in. 'It aims to reconnect people with nature by integrating natural forms, materials, light, and other elements, fostering a healthier and more balanced living space,' says Meredith Huck, founder and principal designer of House of Huck... "Incorporating #environmental features means quite literally bringing aspects like #plants, water, and sunlight into your home. 'Think #PottedPlants and #greenery, wood or stone furniture pieces, or even skylights to flood your home with natural light,' says Amy Peltier, founder of Peltier Interiors... "Your home is your sanctuary, and you should feel calm, protected, and rooted within it—all concepts that are core to biophilic design. 'I think everyone can agree that incorporating the natural environment into your home can help improve their mental health, air quality, and bring a sense of calm,' says Peltier. 'Even the smallest items such as plants can achieve this.'"
