Biophilic Design Used in Interiors & Staging

🌿 Biophilic design is incorporating the use of your natural surroundings outside, and bringing that influence into your home design plan. The use of Biophilic design in homes and businesses has become a huge trend in the last few years, as it contributes to our wellness. It is a proven method to help us live, work, learn and thrive better!

🌿 Setting the green tone in your home just makes sense, as we all want a connection to nature. It’s about instilling calm, a respite from our work, and our world’s industrialized, high speed hustle and bustle. It makes us slow down, take pause, and concentrate on and respond to nature. Like environmental psychology, and  neuroaesthetics, it’s naturally restorative. It can also aid in selling a home, just like in this outdoor living space we created in the photo above, where our staged home sold in just 1 day! With more of us at home and skipping travel this summer, this outdoor space doubles the home’s living area, allows for more freedom, vitality, and connection to the great outdoors. We have offered up this biophilic practice as a tip for helping others to stage their homes, and was just quoted by Redfin, the real estate portal, on this topic. Keep reading for more details on this.

🌿 The biophilc concept defined reflects how it is used within the building industry, both public and academic spaces, commercial and residential real estate alike, to increase the occupant’s connectivity to the outside environment through the use of direct nature, indirect nature, and it’s natural conditions. This example above proves having these expansive, bifold doors and an enormous skylight illuminating your kitchen space is an architecturally adept way to merge your inside with your outside. The entire space becomes seamless, where the shell seems to be opening to the sky and beyond, exposing the great outdoors.

🌿 We like to use these techniques to make a house appear more homey. Organic elements, reflecting the outside trees, flora, and fauna combined with natural yet made into decor elements like the woven basket, wood table, rope and shells all contribute to this wonderful feeling. Here, we rely on a potted palm tree to hug a corner, defining the boundary of the space. On the weathered wood coffee table, a fresh heather blooms happily, graced by a few well chosen, seaside decor pieces, like the shell tassel and a glass, rope handled hurricane lantern. A touch of real plants naturally lifts our spirits as we feel connected to nature. .

🌿 Well placed, simple greenery can be elegant and dramatic, especially in a Murano glass, one of a kind, handblown vase. The bold, metal detailed cabinet, offset by the quieter abstract painting, and fine marble sculpture, is gently enhanced by the fresh, green floral leaves. It can lead the eye through the surroundings, and direct the viewer for a specific experience or focal view.

🌿 Some floral placement is integral to enhance the decor, and amplify the impressive, overall design results. The fresh proteas seem to be made for this abstract, mixed media floral inspired painting in this elegantly designed, classic modern dining room. Botanical linens on the table, or floral rug can carry the theme throughout.

A floral theme does not need to be in pattern, but it could be represented in shape. These ginkgo brass sconces gracing the wall behind the upholstered bed, are perfect to illuminate your sleep space, and there are many beautiful floral inspired chandeliers available now.

🌿 Having biophilic art in your surroundings can help you focus, especially in a work space. This stunning creation of varying mosses handset into steel boxes is by an artist and landscape designer we like to promote and use on our jobs, as above. Stephanie is based in Fort Lauderdale. Ask us for more information on her.

A rounded glass wall on the right allows more light into the great room while the view to the back patio shows tree branches peaking through.

Perhaps it’s time for a green wall and planter to spruce up your space! Here a botanical wallpaper placed in the arched niche has a palm pattern, which is repeated in the live garden on left. Notice the rich mix of green upholstery and blonde wood tones all around, offset by a deep gray.

🌿 Other times, we can use one perfectly large, green leaf displayed in a mod vase to convey the feeling of nature. Limit the window treatments, open the doors, and welcome the pretty view and let sunshine in.

As mentioned above, we are happy to share we got quoted about using Biophilic Design in staging in a recent article, which appeared on Redfin, “Staging A House On A Budget”. Here is the quote:

Incorporate biophilic design. This design approach seeks to connect the outdoors with people indoors. Open all your window treatments, let in the sunshine and the view, and bring the relativity of nature in with a few, well placed live houseplants, or fake, silk trees to set the green tone. This enhances vitality and psychological wellbeing, as buyers judge homes with all of their senses. Just be sure to avoid heavily fragranced plants or flowers because some people are sensitive to strong scents. It pays to be green in staging, as gorgeous greenery will always be in fashion.

🌿 Make it a beautifully, biophilcally designed day, keeping it green!…💚

Interior Design Luxury 3D renders That Feel Like Home

Luxury 3D Render by Domaine Luxe shows the potential of space.

Luxury 3D Render by Domaine Luxe shows the potential of space.

Is it starting to look up with this uncertain real estate market? Here’s something we thought could be an opportunity for clarity:

We create hyper-realistic, three dimensional photographic images, or
Interior Design Luxury 3D Renders, that feel like home.

It’s not only for our home sellers, investors and builders, but also for our Realtors, whose clients may be hesitant to buy or sell now.

Domaine Luxe has always offered Luxury 3D Renders for our design clientele with full service Interior Design projects. With renders, both buyers and home owners can visualize how a room could be, how the space and scale will flow, and how it will function. The colors, finishes, fabrics, furnishings and lighting, joined with our on trend designer touches implemented into the floor plan, help clients imagine the potential of an empty or dated space. As we know, these neglected rooms don’t convey much emotion. The results are about beauty and practicality, and in the real estate market, it combines together for the buyer to envision the space as their very own.

Three dimensional rendering uses CAD (computer-aided design), or computer graphics that represent mathematical data in the process of converting a 3D model of shapes into images that are 2D digital images on a computer. When coupled with great design, that’s a whole lotta tech for an artistic representation brought to life. 

Interior renderings are defined as images where the vantage point or viewing angle is located inside of the structure or house. 

We start the process by determining the details of the project and it’s desired outcome; we gather floorplans, CADs, and photos of the space, with different camera angles showing alternative view options and perspectives. The next step is we get to work on the design plan sourcing finishes and decorative elements to be implemented. This is needed at the beginning for illustrative purposes. This can take some time, from days to weeks depending on the scope of the work. Then we create a “Clay”, or a white space.

The Clay before finalizing shows different perspective angles.

Once the shape of items are placed into the floorplan, the modeling takes form. Reflection, shading and texture are what makes these renders pop. Materials shimmer, and wood tones look richer. Illumination and how the light is transported, with the increased ability of depth visibility is the final product. Daylight, sunset, or nighttime can be experienced as it comes to life. Which mood do you prefer? The 3D is from the perspective, and we achieve great views. Long rooms can be seen from far away. Rendering generating times can be several days for in depth, complex rooms.

Renderings are usually created for presentation, marketing and design analysis purposes.

  • Still Rendering

  • 3D Walk through and fly by animations (movie)

  • Virtual Tours

  • Floor Plans

  • Photo realistic 3D Rendering

  • Panoramic Renderings

  • Light and Shadow Rendering

  • Renovation Renderings 

It also enables clients to make design related decisions well before the property is actually built, or before demo begins. This aids in experimenting with building design and its visual aspects.

When looking at the room below, you can see how viewing two alternative plans with slight differences can truly help to form an opinion about which design a homeowner might want to choose to live with. Which design appeals to you more?

Luxury 3D Renders done to our highest design standards could be just the right solution for sellers! Differentiate your listing with Domaine Luxe’s high quality architectural and Interior Design Luxury 3D Renders modeled for your property, lavished with exquisite designer details and artistic textures.
