Biophilic Design is an interior design philosophy that seeks to strengthen the connection between people and the natural environment by incorporating natural materials, plants, daylight and organic forms into interior spaces. Although a contemporary concept, biophilic design works particularly well with antiques, where natural timbers, handcrafted furniture, stone, linen, botanical artwork and traditional craftsmanship complement the principles of bringing nature indoors. The result is an interior that feels calm, balanced and timeless.
