At its core, biophilic interior design works to improve well-being and promote healing. What does this really mean? Biophilia is the idea that humans have a tendency or desire to interact and connect with nature. Pulling elements of nature into design creates the opportunity for humans to connect with nature while sitting in a coffee shop, in a waiting room at a hospital, or walking the halls of a higher education building. Biophilia intends to inspire an emotional connection with nature and therefore provide healing.
Biophilic interior design is becoming a popular way to create spaces that provide positive distractions and reduce stress. This is not a fad or fading statement, biophilic spaces are clinically proven to provide health benefits and are here to stay.

So, how can you add biophilic interior design to your space? There are 3 simple ways to add biophilic inspiration:

1. Sunlight – One of the most inspiring and radiating elements of bringing nature indoors is through maintaining natural light. While this can be accomplished with windows, some windows provide views to scenery that is neither calming nor nature-based. Our OleeVue window films can be customized to block views while allowing natural light into the space through a biophilic design.

2. Greenery – The most common application of biophilic interior design is bringing greenery into your space. Physical plants and foliage can be added to bring life indoors. In addition, selecting custom artwork with biophilic-inspired imagery is a great way to instantly boost design.

3. Movement – Nature is constantly providing movement through water, wind, animals, and more. Bring movement indoors with custom window films that create subtle movement through design.

On the surface, biophilic interior design provides everyone an opportunity to pause, immerse themselves in nature, and relax for a moment. The benefits of biophilic interior design are even greater than eye appeal - the images and design are destined to help lower anxiety, improve well-being and expedite healing.
