Most of us have it instinctively. But for those not attuned to it yet, biophilia is our inherent attraction to nature. Whether that's watching birds from the kitchen window, getting muddy on an autumn walk or collecting house plants - any urge to connect with the natural world around us is classed as biophilia.
In recent years, we've become a bit out-of-touch with nature - distracted by tech and gadgets, and burnout culture. But the hoarding of weird and wonderful house plants, cactus and terrariums has become a new tonic to modern living, with the 'nurturing' element giving us that connection with nature again. The green hues of house plants feel instantly calming, not to mention the air-cleaning properties helping to remove harmful pollutants.
In celebration of all things green, we've brought you the best botanical print textiles currently making a buzz in the world of interiors. Bring the outdoors indoors, so you can create your very own oasis at home.
