Magisches Grün: So verändert die Farbe der Natur unseren Alltag

Magical Green: How the color of nature changes our everyday lives

Densely packed city life, leisure-time stress, and a day spent in front of a laptop: In modern everyday life, time out in nature is often neglected. Yet the mere sight of green plants has a positive impact on well-being and productivity – from stress reduction to increased creativity. So why not simply bring nature indoors into your office, home office, or bedroom? Innovative solutions like Greenfinity's moss walls allow the powerful color green to radiate its power anywhere.

The powerful effect of a green environment on the human psyche

Balance, harmony, and the symbol of life's growth – these are the concepts with which the color green is always associated. Green walls – or many green decorative elements – are considered calming, promote concentration, relax tired eyes, and are even said to stimulate creativity. All reasons that make the color green particularly popular in the design of offices and other workplaces.

The influence of colors on our mood is no hocus-pocus; it has long been scientifically proven. For example, the advertising and marketing industry uses color psychology to generate more attention for its products. But while colors like red are often perceived differently by people from different countries and cultures, green holds a special position: As the color of the plant world, it has a positive effect on everyone.

The green of nature—from the dark moss in European forests to the splendor of palm trees on Caribbean beaches—leaves no one cold. For example, a sports medicine study from the University of Qatar found that physical exercise in a green environment leads to a calmer heart rate. A joint study by researchers from China and the USA further shows that even small green elements in a room—such as a plant, a picture of moss, or even just a nature photograph—have been proven to reduce stress. Less stress not only means better mental health, but also reduces the risk of heart disease, circulatory problems, and more.

Biophilic design brings nature inside

Contemporary architecture has long recognized the benefits of the color green. Biophilic design is creating spaces or even entire buildings that are intended to bring people back into harmony with nature—especially in the often gray metropolis. The term biophilia describes the human love and innate attraction to all living things. For evolutionary reasons, we feel most at home in green and natural environments, as they have always provided a safe and fertile haven.

Biophilic design brings this allure of nature into modern homes. Natural materials, organic forms, abundant sunlight, and natural plants as far as the eye can see form the foundation. The result is intended to inspire in the workplace and provide a healing experience from the stresses of everyday life within one's own four walls. The average Central European spends between 80 and 90% of their time indoors. Given this almost alarming number, it's high time to finally bring the wild outdoors inside.

You don't have to be a trendy interior designer to successfully implement biophilic design in your own business or private home. The easiest way to achieve this project for greater well-being is through innovative design ideas like preserved plants and mosses, which can transform even the most boring wall into a green oasis.

Sustainable & always green: mosses and preserved plants from Greenfinity

Greenfinity's moss walls, moss pictures, and preserved plants combine all the benefits of plant-rich interiors with the low-maintenance convenience that only artificial plants can offer. Although completely natural and harvested in their freshest state, the mosses and plants require no watering, fertilization, or sunlight. Even cleaning is only necessary in exceptional cases, thanks to the products' dust-repellent properties. All this is made possible by a gentle, very special preservation method that keeps the mosses and leaves looking freshly picked for many years.

Four different types of moss are available to bring more green into your professional or personal life. The classics, forest moss, ball moss, and Iceland moss, come from European forests. Jungle moss walls and pictures exude the charm of faraway lands with the additional incorporation of ferns, eucalyptus, and other foliage. No matter which type of moss you choose, all walls and pictures are custom-made by hand and can therefore meet your exact wishes and requirements.

Practical applications of evergreen moss walls & Co

Offices and business premises are the ideal location for Greenfinity products. Here, a large-format moss wall—optionally available with an integrated company logo or LED lighting—takes on a whole range of functions. It not only provides a natural, representative appearance, but also improves room acoustics and contributes to a pleasant indoor climate. Combined with the green color of the moss wall, these factors promote a positive atmosphere among employees, increase productivity, and can even reduce sick days.

Moss murals and green interior walls have also proven successful in doctor's offices. The plants create a calm atmosphere in the waiting room and can subconsciously give patients a sense of security – an effect of the biophilia hypothesis. For anyone who feels nervous or even anxious before a doctor's appointment, a moss wall can be crucial for relaxation. This makes the preserved plants much more than just a design element.

Greenfinity products in a smaller format give your home a new, green look. Among the moss products available online are moss wall clocks, moss pictures in a variety of designs, and preserved plants for every room. Whether you're relaxing after work alone on the sofa or having a big dinner with friends, everyone will feel at home in your living room with so much greenery!
