Introduction: The Importance of Balance and Harmony at Home
Houses have become a sanctuary for humans, which means they should always create a sense of balance and harmony, so to speak. Unfortunately, modern home decor has gradually moved away from natural selections towards more industrial rationalism, as our ancestors practiced.
At the same time, the approach has made a comeback in the present time, with many reconsidering and prioritizing ecodesign. Not only is this very crucial for the aspects of sustainability, but these aspects also add a lot to the glamour and look of any home. In this blog, we try to understand as to why this is the case and how is it possible to incorporate nature into home designs.
Pros of Integrating Nature into Home Practices
Natural components don’t just beautify the house; they add immense value from a design perspective. But above all, the use of natural elements serves to improve the atmosphere of the place, making it more calming and soothing. Natural texture like stones, wood, or leaves also enhances decorative aesthetics as it creates a more earthy atmosphere.
Health-wise, it is advised to incorporate natural elements into your home design. Physical surroundings have a large impact on overall mental health and emotions, this is why being outside is expected to decrease stress. Obtaining natural sunlight is also essential for increasing vitamin D production, sleep improvement and raising productivity. And who could ignore the beneficial influence of natural scenery on blood pressure, heart rate, and levels of stress!
When looking at nature, while a person can observe beautiful views, their mental state can achieve greater results, as there is a decrease in anxiety as well as depressive symptoms.
Natural Components to Add In Houses
It is never easy to design a house that should sustain the interior beauty along with protection to the environment and balance both the aspects throughout. However, a few simple elements can make all the difference. Bringing in the elements that include flora, beauty, design, and health is a good start.
Water Bodies
Water bodies or structures can enhance the sense of peace and tranquility or can be utilized to complement other aspects of your interior décor such as vegetation or ornamentation.
Landscaping
Home owners should also consider landscaping because other than enhancing the beauty and appeal of a house, well-placed trees, shrubs, and vegetation would further lead to cheaper energy requirements and better air quality. For instance, trees and shrubs around your house will give shade in the hotter months of the year and will help to reduce the heat in the house, thus reducing the consumption of air conditioning.
Biophilic Architecture
Natural filters including green walls and roofs, solar panels and cross ventilation can be brilliantly integrated into a house design that can lower energy consumption and enhance comfort levels. Gardens or lawns can equally be very important in the context of biophilic architecture as it provides a place for people to interact with nature without stepping outside.
Natural Materials
Incorporating materials from the natural environment helps your house achieve a warmer more homely environment. Such elements may include wood, stone, bamboo, making use of earth tones and other natural colors in your paints and fabrics makes the house feel more organic.
Environmental Social Responsibility, Sustainability and Eco Friendly Home Features
With more people becoming aware of the adverse effects of climate change, there is more trend of making changes to houses to create green homes. This helps in lowering the carbon level emission of the home while also in the future reducing cost which could be incurred in energy bills by covering less usage of artificial lighting, HVAC systems, and so on.
- When buying furniture and decor items, try to use sustainable materials.
- Energy-efficient home appliances and lighting should be used.
- Use appliances and fixtures that help conserve water at your home.
- Use an organic garden to grow your own food.
