The integration of nature into living spaces through biophilic design is highlighted as a method to improve well-being, concentration, and sleep quality. Practical applications include using natural light, organic textures, and low-maintenance plant species like Sansevieria or Pothos to reduce stress and improve air quality.

Further research connects the concept of biophilia—the innate human tendency to seek connections with life forms—to neurological and physical health. In ‘Blue Zones’, where populations frequently exceed 100 years, gardening is noted as a common activity. Additionally, indoor plants may help mitigate indoor air pollution. Maintenance of these plants can be supported by using common kitchen ingredients, such as banana peels, coffee grounds, and eggshells, as natural fertilizers.
