When we think of biophilic interiors – spaces designed to cultivate our connection to the outdoors – Drawing Room Architecture’s Brunswick Green House in Melbourne, Australia, is one of the first that comes to mind. We absolutely adore the Brunswick house for its modern yet approachable design, and the welcoming brightness it exudes. From the plentiful natural light and earthy textures to its asparagus green accents, houseplant inhabited corners, and mixed materials, the Brunswick house encapsulates beautifully simple, green living in the modern age. While we all (sadly) can’t live in a Brunswick Green House, we curated a collection of Green House inspired finds that’ll get you pretty close. You can always find more modern and biophilic decor in the Design Milk Shop.

Concrete Centerpiece Bowls by Pretti.Cool
If you’re inspired by the Brunswick House’s clever mix of materials and want to try putting it into practice, this Concrete Centerpiece Bowl by Pretti.Cool is a great place to start. The weighty concrete material and speckled design of the White Terrazzo colorway helps create a beautiful contrast against the natural grain on wooden dining tables, adding brightness and levity to your tabletop.

Clear Velasca 1L Carafe by Obakki
Obakki’s Clear Velasca Carafe is a functional and fashionable addition to your tabletop. Handcrafted and mouth-blown by third generation Italian artisans, the carafe embodies a modern, timeless shape and traditional techniques – all in a durable, 100% borosilicate glass (one of the most resilient glass types around!). We love the way the crystal-clear glass catches and reflects light on your tabletop, and the fact that its classic shape doubles as a vase too!

HINGE Side Table by Puik Design
Made of two interlocking steel plates, the HINGE Side Table creates a beautiful contrast against the other natural tones and textures at play in the Brunswick Green House. It’s available in a range of fun colors and sizes, but we love the large bright red HINGE Side Table as a coffee table for the graphic pop of color and modern edge it brings to your living space. Plus, its modern geometric paneled design is the ideal counterpart to the soft biophilic curves seen throughout the space.

Plush Cushions + Throws
Interconnection Chambray Pillow by Jillian Rene Decor
Inspired by founder Jillian Rene’s love of mid-century modern design, Jillian Rene Decor’s Interconnection Chambray Pillow adds a soft neutral touch to your couch and living space. The heather grey chambray linen makes this modern cushion cover as timeless as it is soft, while the graphic disconnected dashes add a layer of unique visual intrigue.

Bitmap Tokyo Pink Blanket by Zuzunaga
Part of what makes the Brunswick Green House so endearing are the thoughtful pops of color – they give the space a more eclectic, lived-in look that just works. We love the pink and red color palette on the Brunswick’s living room throw blanket, so we’re counting on Zuzunaga’s Bitmap Tokyo Pink Blanket for the same playful effect. Inspired by a photo taken from the Tokyo Tower, Zuzunaga turns memorable locales into fashionable geometric textiles you’ll cherish for a lifetime. The Tokyo Blanket is sustainably made in Spain using high-quality merino wool for unparalleled warmth and coziness.

Shunan Side Table by Puik Design
Inspired by China’s serene forests, Puik Design’s Shunan Side Table combines organic textures with modern man-made materials. The strong steel legs form a flat intersected base, while the Ashwood veneer top gently curves for an elegant feel. Like the side table in the Brunswick House’s living room, the Shunan Table has an elevated, modern look that doesn’t overpower the rest of the space and creates a beautiful contrast with the lush green houseplants you’ll want to keep on its surface!

Wythe 30 Large Planter by Greenery Unlimited
Did you really think we’d help you recreate this dreamy greenhouse without recommending a planter? The Brunswick’s flourishing houseplants are an essential part of the interior’s charm – and because not just any planter will do, we recommend the Wythe 30 Planter by Greenery Unlimited to create your own at-home greenhouse. The Wythe’s classic modern design won’t ever go out of style, and the pale salmon colorway is the perfect complement to the comforting warm tones in the Green House’s living space. Bonus: the high-quality fiberglass material will last a lifetime!
