Bringing nature into our homes \u2013 both in plant form and through colour \u2013 has a calming influence that is good for our health and wellbeing. It’s why biophilic design is such a big deal, and most likely why the hashtag #forestcore is now trending on TikTok, with over 170m views and counting. So what exactly is it? In the first of a new series where we take a deep dive into the ‘Core of the Month’,\u00a0Good Homes heads into the woods…<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So, what is Forestcore?<\/h2>\n

Think forest bathing, the Japanese practice of being peaceful and still in nature, but in your own home. Think decor with a woodland vibe, featuring dark leafy greens, natural materials like wood, (ideally with a raw finish) and smooth stone. Texture is key, as is depth of colour.<\/p>\n

According to biologist E.O Wilson, biophilia<\/a>, a trend that been gaining traction since last year, is the \u2018innate and genetically determined affinity of human beings with the natural world\u2019. Forestcore takes this further by injecting more woodland elements into biophilic design. Think leaf-print wallpaper, rich green velvet fabrics, wooden cupboards and shelves. Plus, of course, plenty of plants.<\/p>\n
