Biophilic design
When nature’s built into your home
You’ve seen house plants. Now, meet living rooms. Millennials are turning to plant-first design solutions this year to increase their connection to nature and enhance their well-being. Staircase gardens, biophilic interiors and floral ceilings are all on the way up. And don’t leave the office out!
Creator Spotlight
Plants aren’t just a hobby for Kamili Bell Hill; they’re a lifestyle. This flora-loving Creator looks to plant-covered walls, monstera-filled offices and ultra-green staircases to feel more connected to nature. Follow Kamili for green ideas that go beyond succulents.
‘I feel like the next step for plant lovers is biophilic design. If you like monstera, why stop at a 9-inch (23 cm) pot? Fill a whole wall with them. It’ll make you feel more connected to the outdoors and add a sense of calm to your home.’
