THE HEALING POWER OF NATURE INSIDE THE HOME

The twenty first century is a frantic and stressful place for so many of us – with a multitude of demands laying heavy on our shoulders it’s a world away from our ancestral roots where our predecessors lived simple and agrarian lives surrounded by the natural environment.  Yet countless studies have determined that as human beings connecting with nature is a prime biological need and one that has been proven to trigger the brain into a relaxed state, easing stress and lowering blood pressure.  This phenomenon, popularized in the 1960’s as ‘biophilia’ (meaning love of nature), is as relevant today as ever and has become somewhat of a rising theme within interior design.  In recent months we have seen a resurgence of the quite literal use nature within our homes in the form of house plants and greenery.

Here at Kassavello, we delight in relaxing in natural surroundings… a gentle stroll through the forest, breathing in the mountain air or dipping our toes into the sea, but how wonderful if design can replicate those feelings within the home – the space where so many of us spend so much of our lives.
