Embracing biophilic designs into your indoors

Hey there, design enthusiasts! It's your friendly neighborhood mascot Blobby from Neo by Nippon Paint, to talk about how to bring in biophilic inspired elements to your indoors in a safe way!

What is Biophilic Architecture?

Well, it’s simple– infusing nature into our buildings. Imagine you walk into a building, and instead of feeling like you're trapped in a concrete space, you're greeted by the soothing sight of greenery, natural light streaming in, and maybe even a complete wall filled with tiny plants that takes the nature infused architecture to the next level .

That is biophilic architecture in action – it's all about connecting people with nature in the spaces where we live, work, and play.

Why incorporate biophilic architecture elements in your space?

Well, for starters, studies have shown that being surrounded by nature has all sorts of benefits for our health and well-being. It improves cognitive flexibility, working memory, mental health and can reduce stress, boost creativity, and even improve productivity.

How to incorporate these biophilic architecture elements in your space?

Now, if you are excited to incorporate this in your home you need to make sure the walls or floors or balconies or terrace are good enough to hold the greenery without causing any water seepage in the building. You can start off by checking the health of your home.

Check your space’s health

Waterproofing is essential when embracing biophilic architecture-inspired interior designs to safeguard against potential water damage and ensure the longevity of the space. Biophilic designs often incorporate natural elements like living walls, indoor water features, or extensive use of wood and natural materials, all of which can be susceptible to moisture-related issues if not properly protected.
