Biophilia was a term first coined by psychoanalyst Erich Fromm, who used it to describe the idea of a passionate love of life and all that is alive. Over the years, this concept has made its way into the home as more designers have realized its benefits for their clients. As the majority of our time is spent indoors, the need for nature has become apparent. While the go-to solution is to add plants inside, biophilia is about much more than just adding additional greenery. Its ultimate goal is to provide a calming environment that nourishes the mind and spirit. A lot of scientific research has been done to support this reasoning and to change the way we think about design. The extent to which you incorporate biophilia into your home is up to you. It can be through subtle means, such as pattern, texture, and color, or through more obvious methods, such as increased natural light and plants. You can’t go wrong by seeking to bring a little, or a lot of nature inside, we were meant to benefit each other so what better way to help keep our family well than by inviting mother nature inside.
