Nature for More Creativity

Incorporating elements of nature has proven to enhance our creative thinking. Here are some easy ways we can build nature into our workspaces.

1. Artwork or posters depicting nature can have a positive impact on creative state, as our brains don’t differentiate between the images and real nature.

2. Using natural building materials such as wood paneling as well as others can evoke a nature associated response from the brain.

3. Incorporating natural elements into your workspace blurs the line between indoor and outdoor. Natural lighting, the colors blue and green, plants, and other design and decorations illicit the brain’s response to nature.

Please see the short video for the science and reasoning behind these.
