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.
- Floral and botanical prints, try the airy Sevilla Blue Floral Cotton Duvet Cover Set or the classic Blue Toile de Jouy Cotton Percale Duvet Cover Set for a nature-inspired look.
- Earthy neutrals ground the scheme with geometric favourites such as Oslo Grey Chevron or Classy Dark Grey Greek Key.
- Seasonal warmth, introduce a soft touch of autumnal orange with the Pink Coral Red Orange Premium Duvet Cover Set, then balance with neutral sheets.
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.
