Biophilic design, a concept emphasizing the connection between humans and nature, is rapidly gaining popularity in the world of interior design. This approach integrates natural elements into indoor spaces to promote people’s well-being and productivity. One of the most impactful applications of biophilic design is the use of green walls.
Green walls, also known as living walls, are vertical, modular structures covered with plants. They offer numerous benefits for both physical and mental health while adding aesthetic appeal to indoor spaces.
Biophilic Design: The Human-Nature Connection
Biophilic design recognizes the deep-seated need for humans to feel connected to nature. By integrating natural elements into indoor spaces such as plants, water and natural light, an environment is created that is calming and restorative. This approach reduces stress, improves concentration and enhances the overall well-being of people in these spaces.
Indoor Green Wall Applications
Green walls are a powerful way to implement biophilic design in various indoor spaces such as homes, offices and public buildings. These living walls consist of modular cassettes in which plants can grow, often with the help of an irrigation system. By applying vertical greenery, plants can be placed on walls.
Benefits of Green Wall Applications:
Improved air quality: Plants purify the air by absorbing harmful gases and releasing oxygen, thus improving air quality. A green wall provides 5% humidity and up to 17% in winter.
Stress reduction: Looking at greenery and the natural movement of plants can reduce stress and promote a sense of calm. Research from Wageningen University has shown that a green wall makes people feel 71% healthier, 36% happier, and 65% more energetic.
Acoustic benefits: Green walls can absorb sound, contributing to a quieter and more serene environment.
Thermal insulation: Plants act as natural insulation, regulating the temperature in the space and saving energy.
Space-saving: Green walls efficiently utilize vertical space, making them ideal for environments where horizontal space is limited. By vertical gardening, people can still enjoy the benefits of plants without sacrificing valuable floor space.
Aesthetic value: In addition to functional benefits, green walls also add aesthetic value to a space. They create a natural and vibrant atmosphere, brightening up dull or monotonous interiors. Green walls are increasingly considered an integral part of biophilic design, enhancing the connection between nature and indoor spaces.
Plants offer numerous benefits, explaining why both businesses and consumers turn to Mobilane. Mobilane offers a wide range of vertical green systems available in various sizes and suitable for diverse applications.
