In the modern professional world, the “bland boardroom” is becoming a thing of the past. Companies are realizing that four beige walls and fluorescent lighting don’t exactly spark innovation. If you’re planning your next team strategy session, board meeting, or creative brainstorm in Milwaukee, it’s time to consider the impact of your environment. At The Green Room, we’ve built a space centered around biophilic design—the practice of incorporating nature into built environments.

But “greenery” is more than just an aesthetic choice, it’s actually a productivity powerhouse. Here is why your next team off-site should be hosted at our a plant-filled space: The Green Room. 

1. The “Biophilia” Effect: Reducing Team Stress

The term “biophilia” implies that humans have an innate connection to nature. Research consistently shows that when employees are surrounded by plants, their physiological stress levels drop. Heart rates slow down, and blood pressure stabilizes.

When you move your team out of a high-pressure office and into a calm, plant-filled studio like The Green Room, you’re literally lowering the collective cortisol levels of your group!

2. Boosting Creativity and “Outside the Box” Thinking

Nature isn’t linear, and neither is creative problem-solving. Studies have shown that environments with natural elements can increase creativity by up to 15%! If your team is feeling stuck on a project, a “Green” space provides the visual “white noise” necessary to let the brain wander and find new solutions.

3. Attention Restoration Theory

Modern work requires intense, focused attention. This leads to mental fatigue. According to Attention Restoration Theory, looking at nature allows our “directed attention” to rest and replenish.

At The Green Room, our floor-to-ceiling greenery and bright, airy atmosphere provide the perfect backdrop for “soft fascination.” This allows your team to stay sharp during long workshops without the typical 3:00 PM “brain fog.”

4. A Modern Vibe for Modern Teams

Company culture is built on experiences. Hosting a meeting at a generic hotel conference room feels like a chore; hosting a meeting in a modern, plant-filled studio feels like a perk.

The Green Room offers a warm, “hygge” vibe that makes team members feel valued. Plus, the space is highly photogenic, which is perfect for capturing a few “behind the scenes” shots of your team in action to share on your company’s LinkedIn or social media.
