Creating Sanctuary: Biophilic Interior Design explores the vital connection between nature and health through thoughtful interior design. Participants will uncover the history and foundational principles of biophilia, gaining insight into the designer’s role in fostering nature-inspired spaces. In partnership with Hartmann & Forbes, this course by Well-Designed provides an in-depth exploration of the six elements of biophilic design, with a special focus on environmental features, supported by real-world interior case studies. Attendees will leave with practical strategies to seamlessly integrate biophilic principles into their design process, creating spaces that promote health, harmony, and a deeper connection to the natural world.
