Bringing Nature and Technology Together in Your Home

Bringing Nature and Technology Together in Your Home

By the year 2026, home design will be fused with nature and technology to create healthier living spaces. This design approach, referred to as Biophilic 2.0, uses natural features and smart devices to improve wellbeing through design.

Smart Plant Walls

What if a wall of plants could be brought into a house where it not only beautifies the place but also helps clean the air? Companies like Naava already manufacture smart green walls that serve this purpose. These walls are even capable of linking with the automation system of a house, which makes plant care effortless. If a full wall is out of the question, you can achieve a similar effect on a smaller scale, inside and out, by using weather-resistant pots of the kind sold by Nomada.

Lighting That Mimics Nature

Lighting has a great influence on one's feelings. With smart lighting systems, lighting can now adjust itself throughout the day to approximate natural sunlight, preserving the inner clock of the human body. Combining this with neutral décor such as Nomada's soft playmats creates a cosy space that feels connected to nature.

Comfortable and Eco-Friendly Flooring

You can have flooring that's both comfortable and good for the environment. Nomada's memory foam playmats provide a soft surface that's suitable for children. And they just happen to match flooring materials that are ecofriendly. Choosing materials that are kind to the planet adds to a home's natural feel.

Natural Sounds and Scents

Adding natural sounds and scents is a great way to further the relaxing ambience of your home. There are sound machines that can play nature sounds like flowing water or birds singing to set a peaceful environment. Similarly, diffuser oils with scents of pine or fresh rain can help in bringing nature into your space.

Use of Natural Materials

Select natural materials such as stone, wood, or bamboo as the decoration of your home in a natural style. These materials not only add aesthetic pleasure but also a calming atmosphere. For example, wooden furniture or stone kitchen countertops bring the feeling of nature indoors to your living space.

Incorporate Water Elements

Using small indoor fountains or aquariums can increase the calm atmosphere of your house. The tiny sounds from the indoor fountain can create a soothing vibe that helps with relaxation and also adds to the household aesthetics.

Create Outdoor Views

If possible, arranging your furniture in a way that leads to outdoor views is always an improvement. Glass doors and large windows can usher in natural light as well as provide a look to nature, which will improve the experience of the living space.

Use of Natural Colors

Colour schemes based on nature, such as greens, browns, and blues, will allow for a relaxing environment. These colours can be incorporated through wall paint, furniture, or decor items to enhance the natural feel of your home.

Incorporate Natural Textures

Using materials like rattan, jute, or linen can add warmth to your home. Adding rugs, cushions, or wall hangings with these textures can incorporate cosiness and an inviting feel to your place.

Create a Nature-Inspired Workspace

An office that is designed around the natural world tends to be more efficient and healthy for work using the space. This can include a desk with a view of the outdoors, the use of natural materials, and the inclusion of plants to create a refreshing and inspiring work environment.

By incorporating nature into the workspace, you are able to achieve a home that looks aesthetically pleasing and promotes health. Adopting a Biophilic 2.0 design concept allows for the living area to truly be a retreat.
