The Mattress Warehouse to introduce biophilic design
Based on a love of the great outdoors and all animals and plants, biodesign is a nature-based design philosophy rooted in the concept of luxury. Post-pandemic, it has become a popular decorating style around the world and a hot decor trend for 2023, especially as homeowners strive to create comfortable, nurturing spaces to relax and recharge. This of course makes it a great choice for bedroom style. Those special havens we all need at the end of the day to rest and thrive.
To help bring it home, here the team at The Mattress Warehouse, SA’s most trusted online bedroom furniture retailer, share their best tips and ideas for incorporating biophilic design into the bedroom.
- Bed linen and accessories
Linen and accessories like pillows and throws in botanical or other nature-themed prints are a great place to start. Also, choose natural fabrics as much as possible (think cotton, linen, and wool), as you create a more authentic relationship with nature. - Wizards window
Just like your bedding, your choice of window treatments can go a long way in achieving your desired overall effect. Choose natural fabrics for curtains, bamboo, jute, rope, or even wood blinds for an organic effect. - Shapes and silhouettes
Inspired by nature, hipster designs are all about soft curves and balanced proportions, so choose furniture that fits within this design framework. - Material
Apart from natural fabrics and materials for linen and other soft furnishings, also choose natural and/or organic materials such as wood, jute, and stone for furniture and flooring as much as possible. - the plants
Of course, the easy and effective way to instantly make a room more nature-friendly is to introduce plants. Large, leafy houseplants are a great choice for the bedroom, as are fresh flowers. - natural light
A key concept in biophilic design is also light. In this case, natural light, so make sure your bedroom receives enough sunlight during the day to create a bright, sunny space. A small patio outside the bedroom with a small cafe table and chairs where you can read or enjoy your morning coffee is a great idea to not only soak in some natural light but also to get loads of fresh air. - art
Adding botanical or landscape art to your room decor is another great way to introduce biophilic design into your bedroom.
