Are you a plant parent? If filling your home with vibrant
Monsteras, elegant Birds of Paradise, or cascading Pothos sparks joy for
you, biophilic interior design might be the perfect fit for you.
Biophilic interior design weaves elements in nature into your indoor
living spaces in an effort to reconnect us with nature. Imagine the
tranquility of sitting by a calm lake or the serenity of wandering a
hiking trail. Biophilic interior design brings those feelings right into
your living room. Here’s how you can infuse this style of design in
your home.

Maximize Natural Light
Draw
back those curtains and open those blinds. Letting natural light in can
do wonders for your physical and mental health while also helping with
your electric bill. If you’re lacking in the natural light department,
consider installing a skylight or replacing solid doors with glass
doors. The extra Vitamin D can help support your bone health, boost
energy levels, and help your beloved plant babies thrive.
Play with Nature's Color Palette
Let
nature be your inspiration when choosing your decor and paint for your
walls. Earth tones, greens, and soft blues are soothing to the eye and
relaxing to the mind.
Choose Furniture that Mirrors the Texture of Nature
Along
with color, texture is another important element to pay attention to
when decorating with nature in mind. Select textures that mirror what
you find outdoors—think wood, stone, bamboo, clay or cotton materials.
Create a Water Source
Consider
adding a fountain to your decor. Water features that mimic the sounds
of the bodies of water we hear in nature can bring a level of peace you
might not have experienced before.
Add a Little Fire
Fire
can be both stylish and functional when it comes to adding biophilic
elements to your interior design. The glow produced by the dancing
flames creates a cozy ambience while emitting the extra heat you may
need in the winter months. Don’t have a fireplace and not in the market
to add one right now? Don’t let that stop you. Use candles to bring this
element into your home in a more economical way.
Get
creative as you become one with nature. Biophilic interior design allows
you to have fun with designing an aesthetically pleasing experience
while also being mindful of how your atmosphere affects your overall
well-being. If you’re thinking now is the right time for you to sell
