Being in a room surrounded by an excess of objects within your eyeline distracts the brain


of faux marble, artificial grass and plants. Popular communications company Skype, for example, has included a faux-lawn to its grounds to “encourage collaboration and creativity” among its employees.


TEXTURE


As industrial designer Jinsop Lee said in his 2013 TEDX talk, great design appeals to all the senses. Following this theory, introducing various textures in the home has been on every interior designer’s agenda, particularly this year. Occupational therapist Susan Fowler wrote: “In order for a person to enjoy and participate in activities, the right amount of sensory input needs to be provided”.


september/october 2017


Using an eclectic mix of fabrics and materials, such as wood, could help provide stimulation when working from home as every human being needs some connection and engagement in their lives. But beware not to make your office decor overly-distracting, because having an abundance of objects surrounding you while working can lead to procrastination. Stick to Japanese-style ceramics with clean lines and artisanal wood ornaments (sparingly) to be a part of this trend.


BOTANICAL TOUCHES


Bold botanical prints, especially of the tropical variety, create a modern twist on


the traditional floral design style regularly seen throughout the spring and summer season. Bringing the outdoors ‘in’ is a highly popular interior design trend at the moment and reports suggest it could have a positive effect on your productivity whilst working. It was concluded in an experiment conducted in 2011, led by scholars in Norway, that “indoor plants in an office can prevent fatigue during attention demanding work”. Not only that, but property experts Fast Sale Homes have said that botanical touches can also provide benefits when trying to sell a home, proving the advantageous effects they have on our psyche.
