Unlike a yard, courtyards ca...

 We are in unprecedented times. Food delivery, video conferences, and home offices have become the new normal. Whether remote work was a part of your routine previously or is completely uncharted territory for you, we’re all adjusting to an unfamiliar work environment. In our quest for acclimation, we’ve found that a connection to nature can make things just a little more manageable. In this article, we apply the eight key elements of biophilic design to a new domain…the home office. 1. Scattered & clustered plants Incorporating plants into your home workspace, or even just throughout your house or apartment, is a great way to encourage wellness and positivity. Indoor plants can remove up to 87% of toxins in the air in just 24 hours, and in a time of heightened sensitivity to germs and bacteria, this is a welcome benefit.  How to do it: Select plants of varying heights, forms, and colors and place them throughout your home (especially in your office or workspace). You can ...
