Biophilic Bedrooms: Easy Ways to Bring Nature Indoors This Autumn

Posted by Carol Leruum on

Why biophilic design?

As autumn approaches, we naturally look for comfort indoors. Biophilic design, the idea of using natural elements to support wellbeing, is a major 2025 interiors theme. Bedrooms are the perfect place to apply it, calm, grounded and connected to nature even as the days grow shorter.

At Leruum, we see the bedroom as more than four walls, it is a landscape for rest, shaped by the textures, colours and fabrics that surround you.

The colours of nature indoors

Biophilic bedrooms lean on greens, browns and muted neutrals, softened with natural textures. This palette echoes woodland walks and the quiet calm of a garden after rain.

Step one: start with natural fabrics

Synthetic fibres can feel clammy in autumn humidity. Pure cotton is breathable, soft and adaptable to fluctuating temperatures.

Choose 100% cotton percale as your base. Explore sizes and styles in Duvet Covers & Bedding Sets, including crisp percale options such as the Lilac Pink Ditsy Floral Percale Set.

Step two: layer textures for depth

Nature is never flat, and your bedroom should not be either. Mix textures for dimension and comfort.

  • Pair percale duvet covers with a lightweight throw from the Seasonal Collection for tactile richness.
  • Add cushions in earthy tones, deep green, ochre or muted terracotta, to echo outdoor hues.
  • Consider a woven rug or natural timber bedside table to continue the story beyond the bed.

Step three: invite natural light and greenery

No biophilic scheme is complete without plants or light. Autumn’s shorter days make it especially important to maximise daylight.

  • Place a small plant on the bedside for a gentle visual link to greenery.
  • Keep windows clear so morning light can spill across crisp percale bedding.
  • Choose wall tones in off white or soft clay to reflect natural warmth.
A care rhythm inspired by nature

Biophilic living is about cycles as much as looks. Establish simple habits that keep fibres fresh and comfortable.

  • Wash cotton bedding weekly to refresh fibres and remove allergens.
  • Air throws outdoors in the crisp autumn breeze between washes.
  • Rotate colours seasonally, grounded neutrals and botanicals in autumn, lighter florals again in spring.
FAQs

Q: Do I need plants to achieve a biophilic look?
A: Plants help, but natural textures, colours and light are just as important. Start with cotton percale bedding and layered textiles.

Q: Which colours work best for a biophilic bedroom?
A: Greens, terracotta, browns and gentle neutrals. Patterned options like Sevilla Blue Floral and Blue Toile de Jouy bring the palette to life.

Q: Is cotton really a biophilic choice?
A: Yes. Natural fibres such as cotton percale breathe, soften with time and feel closer to the rhythms of nature than synthetics.


A biophilic bedroom is not just a trend; it is a return to balance. By layering cotton bedding, earthy throws and touches of greenery, your space becomes a sanctuary that echoes the calm of nature in the heart of autumn.
