Boost productivity in the office with nature and good lighting

We’ve already written in detail about the emerging trend of Biophilic design in one of our previous blogs and all the psychological benefits that it brings with it. Having a well-lit room is just as important as incorporating natural elements into a space; in fact, poor lighting can be annoying and stressful to your overall state of mind, particularly for employees in a workplace. Here’s how nature and good lighting can – literally – brighten up any office, brought to you by the team at Carmelo Delia, leading supplies of quality furniture in Malta. 

 

Natural lighting

The key to choosing the perfect lighting for your office space is finding the perfect balance between the natural and the artificial. Natural light helps to reduce the contrast between the harsh blue light emanating from our computer screens and dim artificial lighting, helping to decrease headaches and fatigue. As the sun moves across the sky throughout the day, the intensity of the sunlight changes and improves our circadian rhythm, meaning that workers will feel fresher in the morning and sleep better at night. No wonder there are so many squabbles among co-workers about who gets to sit near the window! 

 

Be-leaf in the power of plants

Aside from their aesthetic appeal, having plants in the workplace has many hidden benefits, including humidity control and providing a more welcoming atmosphere for visitors, clients and employees. Studies have also shown that introducing plants to an office can help reduce absenteeism and improve air quality, resulting in a much healthier environment for all. 

Moreover, shades of green within a space can create feelings of relaxation and well-being, which in turn leads to improved productivity and better concentration. Certain types of plants, such as lavender, citrus and lemongrass release subtle scents that sharpen people’s ability to focus, causing higher accuracy in numerical tasks and typing and fewer mistakes in spreadsheets or data entry.
