BIOPHILIC DESIGN

Biophilia - the suggestion that we possess the innate tendency to seek connections with nature. I.E: love of nature Biophilic Design uses the idea of creating a human-centered approach to our interior spaces, which has proven to have many benefits to our health and well-being. Incorporating nature-inspired design elements has been shown to inspire us, increase our productivity, reduce stress, and enhance creativity and clarity. So how do we redesign our space? Here are some tips. If your first thought was to incorporate more plants, you’re not wrong. But they do more than just add natural beauty. Plants are a vital element for improving indoor air quality, and you have many options - vertical garden walls, moss art, hanging Japanese kokedamas, to name a few. One thing you’re probably missing out on is incorporating water fixtures. Water elements give the home decor a distinct personality and may be used to enhance the modern interior design and appeal to all of the senses. They provide a certain beauty and tenderness of organic design to modern rooms, which creates a relaxing impact. Some ideas include small water fountains, water gardens in a foyer, accent walls with waterfalls, and river pebbles with water trickling over them.

CREATE A HOME OFFICE THAT WORKS

lthough a growing number of businesses are reopening their in-person office spaces, many are maintaining remote workforces or implementing hybrid schedules. While the shift signals steps toward more traditional, familiar work environments, it also presents some challenges.

efficient setup using smart technology. While many devices work well together, that’s not always the case. You should also be aware of the controls and how you’ll manage smart functions; choose the setup that’s most intuitive for you and fits best with your workflow.

If your temporary remote work schedule is headed for a more permanent status, or if you’ll be straddling both worlds indefinitely, it may be time to make some changes to ensure your home office is up to the task.

IDENTIFY UNIQUE REQUIREMENTS

DO YOUR RESEARCH Before making any significant purchases, do some digging to learn all you can about the devices and equipment you’re considering, especially if you’re planning to create an 24

A successful home office needs to reflect the needs of your particular job, so you may need special equipment or tools specific to your role. For example, 63% of desk-based workers said having to collaborate with colleagues virtually is either a challenge or major barrier to working remotely, with 24% saying it is a major barrier, according to a survey by HP. If your job typically relies heavily on collaboration, you’ll probably need a video conference setup. ESCAPE THE DISTRICT/ SUMMER 2021

Another common challenge: access to a printer. More than one-fourth of desk-based workers ranked having access to the office printer among the top three things they miss about the in-office experience.

and adjust accordingly so you’re not divulging proprietary data or other information that could be used inappropriately. Learn how to make your home office work for you at hp.com.

If your home office isn’t already equipped with a printer or you need to upgrade, you may be wondering where to start. Convenience is more important than everything else in a home printer, according to survey participants. You may also agree with the 52% of remote workers who indicated that if they were considering buying a new home printer in the future, it must be easy to use, and a simple set-up process was a leading demand. One convenient and simple option is the HP+ smart printing system, which is powered by a cloud-based ecosystem with enhanced security, productivity and sustainability features. Paired with an optional Instant Ink automated supplies replenishment subscription, an environmentally friendly solution to ensure you never run out of ink or toner, the system offers a perfect solution for hybrid workers and small businesses.

START SMALL Establishing a well-equipped home office takes time and money. Identify the equipment and essentials you need to get started then create a wish list with other items you can add over time. As you’re setting priorities, remember it can pay to invest in quality products from the get-go. If you have to make repairs, upgrade, or replace equipment, you may spend more in the long run.

GET A STRONG NETWORK At the office, you probably had an IT department responsible for keeping your network up and running. At home, you may still have some level of tech support, but your home connectivity is likely your own concern. A good network starts with a quality router. You’ll also want to shop for an internet provider with the best speeds at a rate you can afford. Just be conscious of any restrictions on volume or speed that could hinder your ability to do your job.

KEEP SECURITY IN MIND Smart devices collect a lot of information and because much of the technology is still so new, it’s relatively vulnerable to hackers. Get familiar with privacy settings on all your devices ESCAPE THE DISTRICT/ SUMMER 2021

TIPS FOR FINDING THE RIGHT PRINTER Features: A basic printer simply prints documents, but if you need to also copy, scan and fax, there are many allin-one models that offer those capabilities, as well. Inkjet vs. Laser: If you normally print text with few images, opt for a laser printer. If your work involves a lot of graphics and photos, an inkjet printer may be a better choice. Supplies: Depending on how much you print, you may go through a lot of ink, and the cost can add up. Comparison shop to find the best ink prices, which brands offer features like recycling for used cartridges and whether you can access a subscription to ensure you never run out of ink or paper before a big deadline. Cord Connections: Some printers require a wired connection to your computer while others can connect to your computer using Wi-Fi or an app like HP Smart App. Aside from personal preference, your decision may hinge on the space you have available. 25

Collection designed and coordinated by Antonio Citterio

ECTIVES

The 2021 Maxalto collection opens with a reelaborated style, recreated in its colour tones, dimensions, materials and models. What is proposed is a warm environment, with a lighter touch in terms of aesthetics; a coherent update, totally faithful to Antonio Citterio’s initial Déco ideal. Underscoring the collection’s successful natural feel are principally the new colour schemes: the light tones of untreated wenge and oak, the bronze and chrome metal finishes, the burnished aluminium of certain structures. Highlighted are the warm nuances of leathers and fabrics, enriched by top quality stitching. The textiles in the collection, inspired by the 1920s and the work of JeanMichel Frank, define a sophisticated, luminous ambiance, with textures and neutral toned designs easily combined with abstract black and white graphics.

IS MOVING TO TENNESSEE RIGHT FOR YOU? 2020 saw that more people moved to Tennessee than any other state, according to a study done by U-Haul, which complied from two million+ one-way U-Haul truck customer transactions. Tennessee has likely crossed your mind when thinking about a state with warm weather, eccentric cities, and diverse attractions. Whether or not Tennesee might be your next adventure, here are some pros and cons to provide insight into the most popular cities. PROS:

CONS:

Housing costs tend to be lower where there are fewer residents and more space, which is why eight small towns in Tennessee made the list of MoveBudhha’s 100 Most Popular Small Cities To Relocate to in 2020. In fact, Nashville is the only city with the cost of living slightly above the national average. You’ll also see that the state has one of the lowest property tax rates in the country and no state income tax.

While Tennesee has a breathtaking landscape and there are many beautiful rivers and lakes to choose from, you’ll have to drive hours to find any sandy ocean beaches. Additionally, the average humidity of 70% combined with southern summers might not be your idea of ideal. And while music tastes and types of shows are becoming more diverse, it’s hard to escape the tunes from the world’s country music capital.
