An Edwardian house in South Croydon, which is a suburban area in the London Borough of Croydon, with a Conservatory with large windows on all three sides, creating a bright and airy space, allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the interior and providing panoramic views of the surrounding environment.
The Conservatory is designed to integrate natural elements and modern lounge furniture to create a sanctuary-like space.
Stepping into this biophilic-inspired interior, your gaze is immediately captured by a floor-to-ceiling wardrobe adorned with wood-coloured slat panels. This elegant storage solution integrates with the biophilic design, creating a harmonious and nature-infused retreat. The slat panels of the cabinet mirror the organic warmth found in nature.
Approaching the wardrobe becomes a sensory experience as the LED lights gently brighten upon touch or motion, providing a subtle yet immersive interaction. This feature not only enhances the practicality of the wardrobe but also adds an element of enchantment to the biophilic atmosphere.
The lounge furniture is meticulously chosen to complement the natural surroundings in the heart of a biophilic conservatory, where the boundaries between indoors and outdoors blur. This space is a seamless blend of comfort, functionality, and the calming embrace of nature.
A Japandi-inspired chair takes centre stage, blending the clean lines of Japanese design with the warmth of Scandinavian minimalism. Beneath the furniture, a plush jute rug sprawls across the floor, introducing a grounding texture reminiscent of natural landscapes.
Suspended from above are intricately woven rattan pendant lights; when illuminated, these lights cast a warm and gentle glow, mimicking the filtered sunlight streaming through a forest canopy. The rattan material introduces a touch of nature into the lighting fixtures, creating a play of shadows that dance across the Conservatory.
Potted plants and verdant foliage are strategically placed, their presence softening the lines of the furniture and infusing the space with life.
The Conservatory’s expansive floor-to-ceiling windows allow abundant natural light to filter through, enhancing the biophilic experience. The interplay of sunlight and shadows creates a dynamic atmosphere, accentuating the textures of the wood, jute, and rattan throughout the space.
