Many mental health gurus are big on the benefits of interacting with nature. While not everybody has access to nature right outside their front door, a very popular trend in bedroom interiors recently has been bringing nature to you instead.
Biophilic design, as it’s known, is all about reconnecting with nature, and finding ways to bring the outdoors into your home. This is particularly important in your bedroom, which should be a haven of peace and tranquility.
While there have been some cottage chic and floral trends recently, biophilic design is focussed primarily on green foliage elements. This supports the recent trend to green as a colour trend in general.
Indoor plants come in a huge range of sizes, shapes and colours, so make sure you focus on plants that thrive in indirect sunlight and are low-maintenance.
For those who fear they definitely don’t have the “green thumb” gene, a rubber plant is a good choice. They’re often referred to as the perfect bedroom plant because they can cope with almost anything! It also doesn’t produce any pollen – great for allergy sufferers.
Apart from the aesthetic appeal of plants, they also provide health benefits by removing carbon dioxide from the air, keeping it fresh for breathing.
And if you still don’t think you can keep a plant alive? Consider using sheer or transparent window coverings, so you can see any view of nature and allow natural light to shine through. You can then pick up the biophilic concept using cushions or manchester.
