Biophilic Style When Design Meets Nature
At Groupe Luc Fauteux, we see the evolution of trends in home design every year. And in 2025, one trend clearly stands out in the world of solariums: the biophilic style.
This design trend not only seduces with its aesthetics, it literally transforms the way we inhabit space, bringing nature closer to our everyday lives.
And what better way to experience this natural connection than in a solarium?

What is biophilic style?
The biophilic style (from the Greek bios = life and philia = love) aims to integrate nature into our living spaces. We’re talking organic materials, abundant natural light, living plants, water features, organic shapes and natural textures.
Why the comeback?
By 2025, 80% of Canadians say they feel the need for a better balance between indoor living and connection with nature, according to a Habitat Design Trends survey.
Biophilic styling is the perfect answer to this quest for harmony, focusing on mental health, well-being and visual comfort.
More than just a sunny room
At Groupe Luc Fauteux, we see the solarium as a natural extension of your home and garden.
In a biophilic approach, this room becomes a veritable haven of plant peace, bathed in light and soft materials.
Preferred materials:
Element | Recommended material | Biophilic assets |
Structure | Aluminum or treated wood | Durable, warm, recyclable |
Windows | High-performance glass | Maximizing natural light |
Floor | Natural wood or cork | Organic texture, soothing effect |
Walls and ceiling | Mineral or wood plaster | Sober finish, authentic nature |
Plant decoration | Integrated planters | Climbing plants, ferns, herbs |
Natural light: the heart of well-being
The biophilic solarium is based on maximum use of natural light. Thanks to the high-performance glazing we use, it is possible to:
- Reduce energy consumption linked to artificial lighting by up to 25%.
- Improving mood and productivity
- Support the body’s natural circadian rhythm
According to a Cornell University study, employees exposed to natural light have 51% less eye fatigue and 63% fewer headaches. Imagine these benefits at home, in your relaxation corner!
Integrating life into design
The biophilic style encourages the addition of living plants at all levels: on the ground, high up, suspended… Ferns, pothos, cacti or orchids become full-fledged players in the décor.
Concrete ideas:
- Integrating a plant wall into a glazed section
- Installing herb planters
- Add a small water fountain for a soothing sound
A little bonus: plants also act as natural air purifiers!
A place for relaxation, creativity… and health
The biophilic solarium is the ideal place for:
- A morning coffee break in the sun
- A yoga or meditation session surrounded by greenery
- An inspiring workspace for teleworkers looking for a pleasant office environment
- And if you’ve got kids, it’s also a fantastic place to teach them about the environment.
Why do so many people invest in this type of space?
According to this article in the Journal de Montréal, solariums will enjoy a major resurgence in 2025.
They offer:
- Added real estate value estimated at between 8% and 12%.
- 3 or 4-season use, depending on model
- Unbeatable wellness performance
And if you combine that with a well-thought-out biophilic design, you’ll add a touch of elegance and health to your property!
