biophilic design: bringing the outdoors in

On average, people in the UK spend around 90% of their time indoors. This being at home, at work, or in other built environments. With so much of our daily lives spent inside, it’s more important than ever to create spaces that connect us to nature. This is where biophilic design comes in.

At Boaz Studio, we believe that the spaces we inhabit should not only look beautiful but also support our mental and physical wellbeing. Biophilic design is a powerful creative approach achieved by bringing the outdoors in and designing interiors that nurture, inspire, and restore.

what is biophilic design?

Biophilia, meaning “love of nature,” is the idea that humans have an innate connection to the natural world. Biophilic interior design uses this principle to create spaces that feel alive and harmonious. Through natural materials, organic textures, and abundant light, we can make our homes and workplaces more calming and restorative.

simple ways to incorporate biophilia in your home

If you’re looking to make your interiors feel more grounded and serene, here are some simple ways to embrace biophilic design:

• Maximise natural light: Open up your windows, use sheer curtains, and place mirrors strategically to reflect light throughout the space.
• Add plants and greenery: Indoor plants not only improve air quality but also bring colour, texture, and a sense of calm.
• Use natural materials: Choose wood, stone, clay, and linen for furniture and finishes. These timeless materials create warmth and authenticity.
• Use natural colour palettes: Earthy tones, soft greens, and muted neutrals promote a sense of balance and peace.
• Embrace natural textures: Layer materials like jute, wool, and rattan to create a tactile and comforting environment.

designing for wellbeing

At Boaz Studio, we incorporate biophilic design principles into every project, from residential homes to commercial spaces. Our goal is to design interiors that not only look refined but also enhance mental wellbeing, improve indoor air quality, and encourage a deeper connection to nature and the environment.

Whether it’s a home renovation or a workspace redesign, our approach ensures that every space feels healthy, sustainable, and comforting.

why biophilic design matters

The benefits of biophilic interiors go far beyond aesthetics. Studies show that exposure to nature (even indirectly through natural interior design) can reduce stress, increase productivity, and boost overall happiness. In a world that’s increasingly urban and digital, reconnecting with nature through design isn’t just a trend; it’s a necessity.
