to continue, but it's incorporated now into
much more natural material," Wadden says.
"There are principles of biophilic design,
which is basically bringing natural environ-
ment into the home. It's important for home
wellness and a healthy-home concept, and
those trends are not going anywhere."
Biophilic design focuses on creating a calm-
ing space with a visual connection to nature.
"It's something as simple as bringing house
plants into the hall or natural elements
like wood and stone. They add warmth
to interiors. Coming out of the pandemic,
it's important that people have strong
associations with the productivity of nature,
so neutral colour palettes with soft, earth
tones, a little bit warm — warm beige, warm
greys, warm browns, as well as blues
and greens," Wadden says.
" Green in all sorts of
ranges, from deep
dark evergreen to
lighter tones, have
had a strong presence
since 2020."
