FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HOW OUR SURROUNDINGS SHAPE THE WAY WE FEEL
Spaces where people live, work and play are never simply just that. They shape how we think, feel, perform and interact, ultimately influencing our well-being, experiences and overall quality of life.
Research into different fields of psychology all point to the wisdom of creating thoughtful spaces. The brick-and-mortar environments people inhabit often influence what is happening internally, which in turn radiates into the energy of a space.
Environmental psychology, for example, shows that the spaces people inhabit can influence everything from mood, stress levels and concentration, to emotional wellbeing and creativity. It’s clear that our environment has a powerful effect on how we feel and function each day.
Biophilia theorises that humans are biologically drawn to nature, with an innate emotional connection to the natural world. Exposure to wood textures, natural light, greenery, water, and natural airflow has been proven to reduce stress and improve wellbeing. This research has led architects, designers and urban planners to embrace what’s now commonly known as Biophilic Design – environments that are carefully shaped to maximise the overall quality of a space, whether designed to feel calming, energising, restorative or welcoming.
With the rise in demand for composite building materials that capture the essence and natural beauty of wood while offering superior durability and resistance to the elements, bamboo composites available from Eva-Last, have emerged as one of the industry’s most advanced and high-performing materials solutions.
Eva-Last bamboo composite materials like decking, cladding, fencing and railing, have been purposefully created to give architects, designers, specifiers, and homeowners the materials to create spaces that balance aesthetics and durability to support comfort, connection and wellbeing.
Now twenty years from inception, Eva-Last are present in over 30 countries globally, giving homeowners solutions that are designed to improve wellbeing in both indoor and outdoor spaces.
Shelley Galliver, VP Group Marketing & Brand at Eva-Last comments: “The psychology of the spaces we live in is deeply connected to emotion – from the way we gather with family and friends, to how we relax, connect and experience everyday life within the home”.
“When these emotional connections are matched with tangible materials, textures and product choices, spaces are able to offer a genuine sense of comfort, well-being and belonging. Sustainable building products, like ours, take this even further by combining aesthetic appeal with a sense of purpose and pride through choosing durable, low-maintenance, and environmentally conscious materials that help protect the planet for future generations. Ultimately, inspired spaces are those that successfully balance beauty, functionality and responsibility.”
In the modern world, materials used within a space are increasingly serving as the defining elements that shape atmosphere, character and the way people want to live, feel and experience their surrounds, making those choices more important than ever.
