Biophilic Office Design for Modern Workplaces
At Aztec Plants, we believe every workplace should feel fresh, welcoming and connected to nature. Our biophilic office design service helps businesses across London, King’s Lynn, and Norwich create inspiring spaces that boost wellbeing, creativity and productivity. From living walls to desk plants, we’ll bring the outdoors in with tailored, sustainable designs.
What is Biophilic Office Design?
Biophilic office design is an increasing trend of bringing the outdoors into the workspace. As a society, we now prioritise wellness and encourage a more relaxed approach to office interior design, leading to an increase in biophilic inspired decor.
Biophilic office design intends to create a workspace that supports wellbeing, a sense of community, and creativity. Introducing biophilic decor into your workplace brings a whole load of benefits, from improved productivity to enhanced mental health and happiness; this is the future of the workplace.
Biophilic Interior Design To Suit Any Workspace
Not every office has rooftop gardens or sweeping outdoor views – but with biophilic interior design, you can still bring the benefits of nature inside. At Aztec Plants, we help businesses across wider London to create inspiring workplaces with greenery, no matter the size of the space or budget.
Living Walls & Green Features
Living walls are one of the most striking ways to transform a workplace. They don’t just look impressive – they also regulate air temperature, improve air quality and even reduce pollution. As part of your green office design, they can also reflect your company’s values and brand identity.
Biophilic Interiors for Every Budget
You don’t need a big space or large budget to create a biophilic workplace. Many of our clients start small with desk plants or office flowers and then expand to larger displays as they see the benefits. From simple greenery to complete natural office design schemes, we’ll tailor a solution that works for you.
Benefits of Biophilic Interiors
Numerous studies have proven that introducing biophilic design elements into the workplace has many positive effects on working, these include:
- Improved concentration levels and reduced fatigue
- Boosted staff productivity in welcoming, relaxed environments
- Cleaner air and better air quality throughout the workplace
- Flexible work settings, including outdoor seating areas and rooftop spaces
- Increased creativity and motivation thanks to stimulating design
- Natural light and outdoor views that enhance wellbeing
- Use of natural colours to create a calm, relaxed atmosphere
- Natural light lowers stress levels – turning the office into an enjoyable, inspiring space
Key Principles of a Green Office Design
Utilising Your Outdoor Areas
If your workplace is lucky enough to have outdoor space, use it! Outdoor seating and tables allow staff to work outdoors, weather permitting. Improved wellbeing and creativity come hand in hand with access to fresh air.
Having Access to Natural Light
Artificial lighting can be harsh and overpowering, resulting in eye strain and fatigue. Using natural light wherever possible has a significant impact on employee wellbeing and cuts down electricity bills.
Using Natural Textures and Materials
A popular biophilic design feature is using wood and stone in aspects around the office. Desks, wall decor, communal areas; using natural materials in these features helps bring the outdoors in.
Incorporating Plants & Flowers
Perhaps the most apparent biophilic design feature is using greenery inside. Office plants, flowers, and living walls are all solutions suitable for any space.
Clever Use of Colour
Dull colours can have a detrimental effect on mood and creativity, so it makes no sense for these colours to be used in biophilic interior design. Biophilic office design includes earthy tones which mimic outdoor landscapes.

Biophilia is the natural human tendency to connect with nature and living things.

Biophilic interiors go beyond decoration – they’re about designing work environments that improve wellbeing and performance.
What are the benefits of a natural office design?

How can I get started with biophilic interiors?
The beauty of biophilic design is that it works at any scale. Many businesses start with indoor plants or desk flowers, while others choose bold features like living walls or rooftop gardens. At Aztec Plants, we’ll visit your office, assess the space and lighting, and create a tailored design that fits your budget and goals.
What types of plants work best in offices?
The best plants for offices are those that thrive indoors with minimal care. Popular choices include hardy foliage plants like snake plants, peace lilies, and pothos, which help purify the air. For statement pieces, we often recommend large floor plants or living walls. Our team selects plants based on your office’s light levels, space and style.
