Natural Aquascape Aquariums as a Balance to the Digital Devices
Urban interior spaces need plant feng shui to reduce stress, both at home and at work, as square footage gets tighter and tighter.
So millennials and large companies are turning to the #1 feng shui solution; plants. I have talked about this in earlier posts https://www.nadineoei.com, but please also read this informative article at https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/09/realestate/plant-loving-millennials-at-home-and-at-work.html.
The newer open – style spaces used to reduce real estate costs feel barren, cold, crowded and out of proportion for human dimensions. In addition, open spaces add to the noise pollution, which now consumes us both indoors and outdoors.

Plants to the Rescue
`
- Wellness: Healthy, living plants bring ALIVENESS to an otherwise stagnant, unhealthy environment. They emit oxygen which helps prevent drowsiness and purify the air. Plants relax the eyes when looking up from the computer and they miraculously replenish one’s autonomic nervous system when emotionally depleted.
- Inspires & Boosts: Studies demonstrate that humans become more RELAXED when surrounded by plants. Thus, plants help us become more creative, productive and less emotionally reactive.
- Yin & Yang: Plants SOFTEN hard spaces filled with concrete floors and walls, high ceilings, large windows, and lots of metal furniture and digital devices.
- Functional: A floor to ceiling room divider with each slot filled with plants can be a beautiful solution to SEPARATING the living room from the kitchen or an at home work space. Large plants throughout a space help to reduce noise pollution.
- Integrates Nature: As Stephen Kellert has discovered through extensive research, BIOPHILIA is the inherent human inclination to affiliate with natural systems and processes, especially life and life-like features in the built environment. This could be in the form of a plant, terrarium, or aquascaping an aquarium with live healthy plants and fish. http://www.albanyaquarium.com
- Low-cost & reduce clutter: Replace the costly HABIT of shopping the malls and building up more clutter, with the habit of strolling through nurseries to enjoy and/ or purchase low-cost LIVING decorations for the home or office.
As a life long plant lover, I would enjoy helping you select the right plants
to improve the healthy feng shui of your environment.
