Studies have shown that being close to nature has a measurable impact on mental health. This has already fuelled a huge trend towards biophilic office design, with large plants and natural materials such as cork and exposed wood now commonplace in many workspaces. The next iteration of this will see a shift towards biomorphism, with environments that mimic the shapes, colours and textures found in the natural world. Rather than simply filling spaces with nature, designers will create spaces that mimic nature. Signature features will include organic forms, circadian lighting and indoor gardens.
