Nature's Inspiring Influence

Nature can offer us so much — a place to rest, recharge with energy, or simply find solace. It's the sensation of being surrounded by natural beauty, like the gentle rustling of leaves by the sea, the soothing fragrance in the air, and the rhythmic flow of water lapping the shore.

When I discovered Nuria's course on Wellbeing Design with Biophilic Design, it struck a chord deep within me. I realized that I needed to embrace this approach to bring more of nature's essence into my interior design projects. The goal was clear: to create spaces where people could truly connect with the natural world, whether it's in their homes or offices. I wanted them to experience the same sense of tranquility and rejuvenation that nature provides, knowing that it would enhance their well-being and productivity.

This course was my opportunity to learn how to make this vision a reality. Nuria's detailed guidance illuminated the path to incorporate these principles into my designs and share them with my clients. As I reflect on my journey, it's incredible to see the impact. Over the past three years, I've witnessed the awe and delight in my clients' faces as they experience the magic of natural materials and well-crafted lighting. It's not just about aesthetics; it's about understanding the unique needs and preferences of each client.

I'm thrilled that I took this transformative step in my career. Biophilic design has become an integral part of my interior design projects, and the results speak for themselves. I wholeheartedly recommend that fellow professionals consider adding this approach to their work. It's more than design; it's about creating environments that nurture the soul and elevate the human experience.

When I was studying interior design back in the day, I received a lot of information, but mostly technical, factual information. Deep down, I knew that the interior where we live has a significant impact on our personality, mood, development, and so much more. During the training, this was hardly ever discussed. I felt a lack of depth among all the practical solutions in the world of interior design.

At one point, Nuria came into my life. She told me about the content of a course she had written on how to design an interior where design, nature, and well-being are central. This intrigued me immensely, and I started the course. It was amazing; everything fell into place. There indeed is a way to discover what you need personally in your interior, combined with our source: nature! We can use our nature as inspiration, as a foundation when designing interiors that make us happy, where we can find peace and harmony, where we can grow, where we can heal, and especially where we can be ourselves.

Think about the feeling you get when you return from a walk in the woods or a park nearby after a stressful day at work. This course made me realize that we should respect our origins (think about prehistoric times) and appreciate what nature can offer us. It's about more than just plants.

For already ten years, I've had my own window decoration business. After taking this course, I delved into the story of using and applying natural, sustainable fabrics and materials. This made me realize that we know too little about how the fabrics we use to make curtains are treated before we hang them in our homes, consider chemical dyeing, for instance. This course has set me on a path where I can contribute to nature and also to the health of my fellow human beings. I want to make all interior designers aware of the sustainable and ecologically sound solutions in the world of window decoration. In this way, we can keep interiors healthy and surround ourselves with elements from nature
