Bring the Outdoors In with Biophilic Home Design

By Natalia Nepomuceno | July 15 2025 | AdultsAllBlogGeneral

Haven’t “botany” books on biophilic home design just yet? Well, it’s time to turn over a new leaf and consider it! First, let’s dig into the soil of what exactly the “biophilia” phenomenon is rooted in.   

Picture yourself unwinding in a space filled with natural light, where lush plants bring life to every corner, and earth tones create a sun-kissed warmth. Sounds like the perfect way to recharge, right? This is the essence of biophilia, a blooming design trend stemming from our innate affinity with the natural world. It’s all about creating soothing spaces that connect the outdoors with the indoors—think organic shapes, soft greens, wooden furniture, and more!  

Not Simply a Cozy Space 

A beautiful home should also serve as a safe space and encourage well-being—and biophilic home design proves you don’t have to choose between the two! As noted in an article by Architectural Digest, studies reveal that biophilic design has been proven to increase productivity and well-being. This blossoming trend is more than just an aesthetic aimed toward home and garden enthusiasts; its wellness benefits are sure to resonate with health-conscious shoppers as well! 

Plant the seeds of biophilic design in your customers‘ hearts! Pair planting guides such as Tara Heibel & Tassy de Give’s Rooted In Design with elegant succulent assortments or add Lauren Camilleri & Sophia Kaplan’s Outside In to an earthy table display to inspire naturally beautiful home styling. Bring nature into your store to nurture your business and grow!
