Biophilic Design Flooring FAQ
What is the concept of Biophilic design?
The concept of biophilic design is to connect those inside with the natural world by incorporating elements from or inspired by nature. Using the five senses of sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell can help achieve a cohesive biophilic design, such as the use of natural lighting, plant life, wood and stone-inspired floors, and more.
What materials are used in Biophilic design?
Natural materials, like timber, stone and leather, are commonly used in biophilic design. They can also be substituted for nature-inspired materials, such as luxury vinyl and hybrid flooring. These floors mimic natural designs, such as timber, stone tiles and other materials, helping bring nature and luxury indoors.
How to make your home biophilic?
You can make your home biophilic by using natural or nature-inspired materials that allow you to create a sense of the outdoors within. When choosing colours, opt for muted or organic tones and textures, like timber or stone. Creating mood boards can help you see what different style elements will look like with your existing furniture, allowing you to experiment with layouts.
