Healthy indoor environment consultants

It is increasingly common for private clients or developers to request input on sustainable and healthy interior design to ensure a healthy indoor environment for their residents post-occupancy.

This may be a final review of the proposed interior fit-out list of products, materials and finishes, or start earlier in the design process with us collaborating directly with the interior designers to propose healthy, green solutions where applicable.

The objective is to reduce resident exposure, whether direct or through environmental contamination, to toxic chemicals that negatively impact human health.

Biophilic design for homes and hotels - key principles

As you’ve already learned, a biophilic home is an innovatively designed place, and one of the ways to apply biophilic design is to build it into a place where nature meets and transforms your personal space. The key elements we pay attention to are greenery, organic materials, lighting and energy.

Biophilic design home - where blue and green meet - the synergy of most natural colours

Biophilic design patterns represent a unique synergy of the most natural colours - green and blue. Plant and water elements are crucial particles of biophilic home design - ones that emphasize the presence of nature in the most. By adding landscape and water elements to the rooms you spend most of your time in, such as the living room, dining room and bedroom, you are recovering from and build up of stress through visual connections with nature.

“Images of nature are more brain stimulating and soothing, which triggers more pleasure receptors, leading to a more effective stress release.

Organic materials for a biomimicry green home decor

Wood and stone are always welcomed addition to a biophilic house design. Same goes for natural, organic materials instead of synthetic one, when thinking of bringing biophilic design into your home. These materials are minimally processed and provide a natural finish to your floors and walls. Moderate wood ration provokes a positive psychological reaction , a subjective feeling of comfort, that in turn, decreases blood pressure and increases pulse rate.

Air penetration increases energy levels in a biophilic home

Natural lighting and ventilation are crucial for every space based on green home interior design. They significantly affect energy performance in your home. The window position is crucial here, because it will impact the heating and cooling, as well as ventilation and natural daylight in your biophilic home. By orienting your windows towards natural light, you secure a more stable energy flow that affects your mood too.

Green home decor for more energy produced than consumed

Thanks to the elements of green decor, your green home will feel more airy and open, wherever it may be. Natural visual stimulants, paired with daylight and lots of greenery, boost your energy levels, making you feel more motivated and relaxed, but also, more ready to face any challenges life has in store for you. Let your biophilic home become your sanctuary of positive energy.
