Popularized in the 1980s by E.O. Wilson, organic architecture and design have since been titled “biophilia” or biophilic design. This design style and philosophy induces innate peace and harmony by intentionally removing barriers that cause a modern disconnection between humans and nature.
Easy ways to incorporate this style into your own home:
Natural Light and Fresh Air
One of the easiest, most simple ways to incorporate biophilic design in your home is to start by opening the windows and drawing the blinds.
Natural light flatters everything in its reach you can’t go wrong with some fresh air.

Natural Forms and Motifs
Birds, insects, plants, and patterned animals are some of the most popular design motifs and are easy to incorporate into any space.

Indoor Plants
Last, and most obvious in terms of organic decor, are plants. Greenery can improve our air quality and sense of well-being.
