If you’ve read anything about office design recently you’ll have seen that biophilic offices are seriously on trend, and this shows no sign of slowing down! Incorporating a biophilic approach to your space will bring you many benefits, and inviting Mother Nature indoors will certainly make your office look stylish and calm too.
Despite that, how are you supposed to maintain the biophilic elements you incorporate, and keep them looking as wonderful that shiny, new glass office desk you purchased at the same time?
It really depends how much greenery you have in your space, but it’s no different to looking after house plants you’d have at home. Make sure you water them and bear in mind that an office may have a more humid or arid feel than a home, so you might need to water them a little more than usual. Ask professionals about the types of greenery you have, just to be sure whether they need any special treatment, and prune them when they need it. This is going to be very little maintenance over the long-term, but very big benefits coming your way!
When combined with beautiful office furniture, greenery and other biophilic elements really look fantastic and that calm, serene feel to your office will increase productivity at the same time. You could add some plants along your shelving or space dividers, whatever fits in with your theme!
