What is Biophilic Interior Design?

At its core, biophilic interior design aims to connect us more closely to nature. Designers who employ this approach do so with the hope of improving our impact on the environment, positively influencing our well-being and protecting our planet for generations to come.

Well-executed biophilic design incorporates sustainable design principles that celebrate the natural world. When done well, this approach takes inspiration from nature’s beauty and interprets that beauty as design elements, creating spaces that support our emotional, psychological and physical health.

Utilizing plants and natural light, maximizing views to the outside, favoring natural materials, textures and patterns that are inspired by nature, and incorporating organic shapes are all key elements of biophilic design.
