Colour as Part of a Biophilic Approach

Biophilic design principles often guide colour decisions by drawing cues from nature, earthy tones, softened greens, mineral hues, and colours that echo landscape and light.

These palettes tend to feel familiar and comforting, supporting a sense of connection to the natural world even within built environments. When combined with natural materials and thoughtful spatial planning, colour helps interiors feel grounded, resilient, and deeply human.

Moving Beyond Trend-Based Colour Choices

Trends can be inspiring, but they rarely account for how a space is lived in over time.

A considered colour strategy looks beyond what is popular in the moment and instead asks:

• How does this space need to feel?

• Who lives here, and how do they move through their day?

• How will this colour age, change, and respond to light and use?

Approaching colour in this way leads to interiors that feel enduring rather than reactive, spaces that continue to support wellbeing long after the initial excitement has passed.
