Smell: The Secret Power of a Fresh Space! Let's talk about one of the most overlooked senses in design—smell! We’ve all been there... trapped in a room where someone’s stinky lunch or overpowering aftershave takes over, and suddenly, concentration disappears, replaced by a throbbing headache. Fresh air is essential, especially in educational spaces. Stuffy rooms? Total brain fog. That's why good ventilation, open windows, and air conditioning are must-haves to keep everyone alert and comfortable. But there's more: plants! Bringing greenery into the space isn't just about looking pretty—it’s a natural air-purifier! Plants increase oxygen levels, filter out nasty chemicals (like VOCs), and their subtle scents can even relieve stress and anxiety. More oxygen = more serotonin = more happiness! Biophilic design (fancy word for loving plants) isn’t just a trend; it’s been proven to make us healthier, happier, and more engaged. So, how do you incorporate greenery into your workspace? 🍃 emuid.co.uk #DesignThatWorks #BiophilicDesign #FreshAirFixes #WellbeingInDesign
