See how decorating your home can increase your contact with nature and contribute to the preservation of the planet
Putting sustainable attitudes into practice has become increasingly urgent to collaborate with the preservation of the planet. Therefore, thinking about how the decoration of the house is built is also necessary to reduce the negative impact on nature.
So, for 2023, the big bet is more sustainable decoration trends. Concerned about the environment, people are opting for more sustainable homes, practicality, comfort, contact with nature and, above all, well-being.
There are countless simple, cheap and creative ideas capable of transforming the home. Check it out below!
1. Use of wood and stones
THE wood and other natural elements will make a strong return to homes in 2023. For Marcela Neves, architecture leader at Tuim, the first subscription residential furniture company in Brazil, stones will also gain more space in interior projects. “The search for comfort, well-being and elegance is one of the main reasons for this resumption. Present from the internal garden to the structure of the walls, the natural elements make the environment more sustainable and convey a feeling of greater coziness and belonging”, she adds.
2. Use of natural lighting
Wide doors and windows that allow the maximum use of the natural light will also be on the rise. As the idea is to provide more warmth to the home, this is a trend that is gaining even more strength. There are some tricks, such as the use of mirrors, lacquered furniture or light walls, which also allow this use of light.
3. Contact with nature
Known as biophilic design, the presence of green and the reconnection with nature continues to be a bet for 2023. After all, countless studies have already proven that this daily connection with natural elements also promotes quality of life, prevents diseases, increases productivity and creativity. For Marcela Neves, projects that include more and more green spaces in the home, whether with natural or artificial plants or even images, are still on the rise.
4. Neutral and natural tones
Neutral and natural tones are the main protagonists of 2023. “Always present in a minimalist decoration, but full of grace and versatility, white, gray and beige tones are preferred. Easy to decorate, they make the environment sophisticated and elegant without much effort. In addition, they visually expand the home and are able to keep the spaces always up-to-date”, highlights Tuim’s architecture leader.
5. Use of subscription furniture
Another increasingly used solution, especially by millennials and digital nomads, is the subscription model. Seen as a simple solution that brings total autonomy for the resident to choose exactly what he wants and for the period he needs, the subscription of furniture will remain high in 2023.
“The lives of Brazilian residents are increasingly mobile, so offering this possibility of change, with practicality, agility and without all the headaches involved in the process of moving, makes this habit even more common, frequent and sustainable. Besides not definitely investing in furniture, people can redecorate their homes whenever they want”, concludes Marcela Neves.
