What is Biophilic Design and how to incorporate it into your interior?

Biophilic design draws inspiration from nature. This means that interiors largely feature natural materials, organic shapes, natural daylight, and an abundance of plants. The result? A calming living environment that brings the outdoors inside. In this article, you’ll learn more about it!

What is Biophilic Design?

This interior style, predominantly uses natural materials, paired with eco-friendly furniture and an abundance of light. Biophilic design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s also about what’s good for the planet. A sustainable interior is no longer optional; it’s a necessity. More and more people are opting for durable materials that stand the test of time. Additionally, this interior style is said to reduce stress and have a positive effect on your health. Plenty of reasons to style your home with this philosophy! But how do you go about it?

Incorporate this style at home

One simple way to introduce this green design into your home is by incorporating houseplants. They instantly create a natural ambiance and bring a sense of tranquility indoors. Got plenty of space? Then you could even consider a green wall, transforming an entire wall into a living green masterpiece!

In nature, nothing is rigid or symmetrical. Furniture with organic shapes is therefore the perfect way to create a natural interior. Think of flowing sofas, playful coffee tables, and curvaceous mirrors. Opt for natural fabrics like jute, wool, linen, and cotton. Earthy tones also help mimic the natural world.

Another key element of biophilic design is daylight. It’s not just your plants that thrive on natural light—you do too. It boosts your energy and helps you sleep better at night. Use mirrors to amplify the light even further!

Explained: the care icons on an orchid label

When you buy a new orchid, it comes with a label that includes various care icons to help you look after your new plant. Nothing complicated, but useful to know! To make sure you understand them, we’re breaking them down in this article: this is what the care icons on an orchid label mean.

The care icons on an orchid label

 

Light

Place the orchid in a light spot without direct sunlight. This means a location where the plant receives daylight, but isn’t in full sun. For example, in a north-facing window or a few metres from a south-facing window. You can also create indirect sunlight by hanging curtains or applying window film.

Feeding

The orchid will happily bloom without additional feeding, but for optimal flowering pleasure feed it once a month. Add 10 ml of orchid feed per 1 litre of water.

 

Water

Place the orchid in a layer of water for about 10 minutes once a week. Allow to drain and return it to the planter.

 

Reblooming

Cut off a spent stem above the second ‘eye’ (the thickening on the branch) from the roots. Water the plant a little less and place it in a cooler spot until new buds begin to form.

Temperature

Maintain a temperature of between 15°C and 25°C.

 

Not edible

Orchids are not meant for consumption.

4 tips for a warm and cosy interior

It’s winter! And that means we’re spending more time indoors. So, it’s the perfect time to give the living room a little makeover to make it warm and cosy. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. Just add a few items to your decor to make your home feel welcoming. Curious? Read on for our cosy interior tips!

A warm and cosy interior

 

Choose the right lighting

Good lighting is not only functional but also essential for creating atmosphere. Opt for multiple smaller light sources rather than a single large lamp, as they create a more intimate ambience. And don’t forget candles—candlelight adds a cosy feel and literally warms the room as well. Try placing a small lamp in the corner, a few candleholders on a cabinet, and some decorative candles on the coffee table.

 

 

Never too many cushions and throws

Throws are perfect for creating warmth! Simply placing them around—along with lots of cushions—gives an instantly cosy look. Not to mention how snug it is to actually curl up under them. Choose throws and cushions in rich materials like velvet, corduroy, or teddy fabric, and go for warm winter colours. Drape them over the arm of the sofa or a large lounge chair for that extra cosy effect.

Opt for curved shapes

Did you know that the shapes of the items in your home have a big impact on the overall feel? Rounded, organic shapes give a minimalist interior a softer, warmer appearance. An interior with only rectangular items can often look strict and overly structured. By adding a few round elements, you’ll quickly create a cosy vibe. Think of round tealight holders, a circular pouffe, or wall decor with curved designs like a round mirror.

 

 

Bring nature indoors

Since we’re spending more time indoors in winter, bring a touch of nature inside. Everyone knows a walk in nature is calming, so why not create that effect at home? Add a few indoor plants, like orchids in wintery colours, to enjoy a calming, natural atmosphere indoors.

4 interior design trends for 2025

 

Ethno

The Ethno interior trend is centred around elements that reflect the traditional craftsmanship and culture of different people. This style evokes a warm sense of connection between different cultures. The interior tells a story, created by mixing a variety of materials and beautiful ethnic elements. The colour palette features warm reds and oranges, combined with beige and khaki. We also see an abundance of natural materials and ethnic prints. Furniture is predominantly made of wood, with organic shapes or a more robust design, often paired with kilims and cowhide rugs. There is also a noticeable use of coarse outdoor fabrics, designed to create a stronger connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Walls are finished with wallpaper made from natural materials like bamboo and leather, or treated with tadelakt or clay plaster.

New Classic

The New Classic interior trend gives a modern twist to the traditional, somewhat rustic, style. It’s time for something new. For example, the familiar herringbone pattern is replaced by a Hungarian point, elbow, or block pattern. Base colours like beige, black, and brown are complemented with warm green, soft blue, or ochre. Materials such as marble, slate, wool, and linen are used to complete the look. The key focus is the contrast between old and new. For instance, a vintage chest of drawers gets a more contemporary look by pairing it with sleek, modern furniture in fresh colours or enhanced with bold black accents. In short, a fresh breeze is blowing through the traditionally safe classic interior!

Vintage & Eclectic

Vintage & Eclectic is a playful interior style, where nothing has to match perfectly. By following your instincts, an unexpected unity is created. The aim is to create a warm, cosy cocoon. This is achieved with a colour palette of warm tones like burgundy, olive green, and ochre yellow, combined with rich materials such as brass, marble, and velvet. Bold patterns are used in wall coverings, fabrics, and tiles. The walls are painted in rich colours, and to complete that cosy cocoon effect, even the ceiling is included.

 

 

Clean & Soft

Where Vintage & Eclectic is a maximalist interior style, Clean & Soft is a minimalist one. Elements of this interior trend are not unfamiliar in the world of interiors. This style is heavily influenced by Japanese and Scandinavian design, with a neutral colour palette primarily made up of beige and white, combined with soft pastel tones. The trend favours organic shapes, natural materials, light woods, and the occasional blossom branch. Functionality plays a significant role in this minimalist style, so a clear out of unnecessary accessories is essential.

Go all out this year with orchids in your Christmas tree

Want to go all out with your Christmas tree this year? Try decorating it with orchids! These houseplants have a luxurious look and come in many colours that suit the Christmas season beautifully. Plus, a Christmas tree is sturdy enough to hold them. And it’s certainly an original idea!

 

Orchids in your Christmas tree

Start by selecting a few types of orchids in colours you love. We chose the Phalaenopsis and Cambria. First, slip a stocking around the pot to prevent the soil from spilling out. Place the pot in the tree and secure it to a branch with a bit of wire. Continue like this, arranging the orchids throughout the tree. Done? Finish the Christmas tree with a few velvet bows.

 

 

Caring for orchids

In winter, it’s best to water orchids once or twice a week. Ideally, take them out of the Christmas tree and place them in a shallow dish of water for 5–10 minutes. This allows the roots to absorb just the right amount of water. Let the orchids drain thoroughly before putting them back in the tree.

 

 

After the holidays

After a merry Christmas and a festive New Year’s, it’s time to say goodbye to the Christmas tree. According to tradition, the Christmas tree is taken down on January 6th. But what to do with the empty spot it leaves behind? The solution is simple: add greenery. Green is seen as a colour of life, renewal, nature, and energy. Additionally, houseplants create a cosy atmosphere and lift your spirits. So, turn your Christmas tree orchids into a cheerful plant corner to keep January feeling bright!

How to keep your orchids looking beautiful in autumn

There’s no denying it: autumn has officially begun. Less sun, more rain, and it’s starting to get a bit chillier too. And this also affects houseplants! For example, orchids need slightly different care in autumn compared to summer. Read on for 3 tips on orchid care in autumn!

How to care for an orchid in autumn

Place your orchid in a brighter spot

As the days get shorter and the sun shines a little less in autumn, you can move your orchid a bit closer to the window. This ensures that the plant still gets enough daylight. However, make sure the orchid isn’t placed in a draught – so avoid putting it near an open window or close to the front door.

 

 

Watering in autumn

While you water your orchids once a week in summer, twice a month is most of the time enough in autumn. But always check the roots of the plant first! If they’re grey, it’s time to water. If the roots are green, it means the orchid has enough water.

Curious about the best way to water an orchid? We’ve highlighted three methods to ensure your orchid gets watered correctly. Read them here: 3 ways to water your orchid.

 

Add orchid fertilizer

Another tip for caring for your orchid in autumn is to add orchid fertilizer. Once every two weeks, mix orchid feed with the water. This helps promote healthy roots, shiny leaves, and a strong plant!
