Shapes for Living

Current decor trends in organic shapes and biophilic elements are a direct response to the harsh minimalist interiors seen in new constructions. Consider the landscape of new condos, rectangular in shape, with harsh right angles repeated in TV & computer screens, kitchen countertops with cold surfaces. Add to those elements dull neutral walls and the result in a lifeless environment.

While trends come and go, there is a human desire to to achieve comfort in living spaces as we look for inspiration from nature. By realizing our own aesthetic imprint, we can realize the spirit of place. Shapes play a role in creating a healing interior and achieving wellness by design.

Some ways to incorporate organic shapes into you interiors:-

Some ways to incorporate organic shapes into you interiors:-

Examine wall areas that could use some more character. Environmentally friendly wall coverings have a range of motifs, themes and “stories” that can match your interests
Choosing a houseplant such as ferns, palms, snake plants etc. They will also improve Indoor Air Quality by combating indoor toxins and electronic pollution.
Furniture with soft leathers and curved shapes contribute to the organic flow of your room. Fabric upholstery will have a range of interesting patterns to choose from.
Any interesting shapes or motifs in rugs made of natural fibres will add excitement to the area it covers
As contemporary lighting fixtures tend to be very large in scale, made of metal, comfort can be achieved with a good old fashioned table lamp with a beautiful custom made lamp shade.
As with upholstery there are many options in drapery fabrics. With natural fabrics look for the weight to match your window area and whether plain or patterns will speak best to your space.
For accessories anything from objects found in nature - seashells, birch branches, pine cones etc - to hand made pottery items and much more…

Your personal oasis is a life project, not cast in stone, but renewable at any time.

Ps if you “Contact” me with your choice of shape in above image, I will send you some feedback on what this means and how to work with your favourite shape!
