Bringing nature in
Have you ever stepped into a room yet felt an instant connection with the natural world? That's the magic of biophilic design. Even in urban settings, biophilic design helps us stay connected to nature. It brings the serenity of forests, the tranquility of water, and the vibrancy of gardens into our everyday lives. Now, we can’t all go about redesigning our homes to fit skylights and atriums, but what we can do is start small by bringing more plants into our spaces. So, we have partnered with Patch to bring you a founder-led guide on how to bring plants into your space to embrace the calm and joy of biophilia.
Are plants enough?
Biophilic design is all about incorporating elements of nature into our built environment. It's the idea that we, as humans, have an innate connection to the natural world. When we bring this connection indoors, it can have profound effects on our physical and mental health.The benefits are boundless, it’s been shown to reduce stress, boost productivity, and enhance our overall well-being.

For Beginners
Choosing plants for beginners often involves selecting ones that are relatively easy to care for, resilient, and forgiving of occasional mistakes.
Thanks to Patch we have created a detailed guide on popular choices for beginner plants, along with reasons why they are well-suited for those new to gardening or in-door plants:
For larger spaces
For larger spaces in your home, or larger homes with flowing space, you might want to consider plants that can make a bold statement, fill out the space well, or even serve functional purposes like air purification.
Indoor plants can have a significant impact on the aesthetics of large rooms by adding texture and depth and creating focal points and intrudocuing more colour variation, particularly those with unique shapes or striking foliage, can serve as focal points in a room.
