Luxury makeovers are being redefined—here at McLain by Design Interiors. Our transformative approach to redesigning Dallas homes incorporates biophilic design elements with unparalleled sophistication, creating spaces that exude comfort and style from concept to completion.

We believe that your living space should reflect your character, switching up not only the look of your home but also your lifestyle. When a home feels "off" or incomplete, it can leave you feeling unfocused and uninspired.

And so, our mission is to create spaces that resonate with your inner desires and cultivate a sense of wholeness.

McLain by Design Interiors' Signature GOLD Process

Our "Get GOLD" framework is more than just a method; it's our way of ensuring every detail of your home is carefully considered and beautifully executed. 

This four-step process—Gather, Organize, Leverage, Deliver—turns your Dallas dream home into a reality.

Your journey with us starts with the Gather phase, where we sit down to share stories and dreams, and your vision begins to take shape. This is the time when we really get to know you—not just the dimensions of your space, but the feelings and ideas you want it to capture. 

After we've gathered all your ideas and inspirations, we move into the Organize phase. Here, we take all those insights and carefully sort through them, turning a mountain of thoughts into clear, actionable design plans. 

With a solid plan in place, we enter the Leverage phase, where we bring all our expertise and connections into action. This is where our deep knowledge of materials, latest trends, and exceptional craftsmanship comes to life, transforming your dreams into tangible design elements. 

The final step of our journey is the Deliver phase, where all the planning, creativity, and hard work come together. This is the moment we hand you the keys to a space that has been transformed into a true reflection of your story, ready to host your life's most memorable moments. 

What are 3 Benefits of Biophilic Design?

Biophilic design offers numerous benefits that enhance both the aesthetic and functional aspects of a living space:

01. It significantly improves mental health by reducing stress and promoting relaxation. Natural elements such as plants, water features, and natural light have been shown to lower cortisol levels and create a calming environment. 

02. Biophilic design enhances physical health by improving air quality and encouraging physical activity. Incorporating natural materials and greenery can reduce indoor pollutants and create a more invigorating space. 

03. Biophilic design boosts creativity and productivity. Natural patterns and elements stimulate cognitive function, leading to increased focus and innovative thinking.

How We Use Biophilic Designs To Elevate Your Home in Dallas

At McLain by Design Interiors, we transform Dallas homes into peaceful retreats that bring the sights, sounds and feels of nature into your indoor living environment. By incorporating elements like plants, water features, and organic materials, we create spaces that are not only beautiful to look at but also uplifting to live in. We make sure every room is filled with the rhythm of natural light, fresh air, and views of greenery or natural patterns, making your home feel open and refreshing. Our thoughtful use of colors and textures inspired by nature helps to create a calming and comfortable atmosphere.

A space filled with lush plants, the soothing sound of water, and plenty of sunlight—this is the magic of biophilic design. Our designs do more than just look good—they enhance your well-being by fostering a closer connection to nature.

Biophilic Designs In Our Projects

Our design portfolio provides concrete proof of the creative ways we've woven biophilic elements into various homes. Take, for example, a charming cottage in Celina, TX, where we embraced a "perpetual glamping" theme. We used natural materials, a soothing color palette, and vintage pieces to seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living. The raw elements and fractal patterns created a serene, inviting atmosphere that feels deeply connected to nature.

Another favorite project of ours is the makeover of a downtown San Francisco apartment. The clients wanted a vibrant space that embraced biophilic design while keeping their existing furniture. Drawing inspiration from Bohemian lounges, we added removable nature-inspired wallpaper and floating plant frames. This transformed the apartment into a lively, creative space that promotes well-being.

We always prioritize sustainability in our projects, using recycled materials and energy-efficient systems. In a cozy office lounge in Sherman Oaks, CA, we kept the client's beloved vintage plaid couch and tiled table, adding eco-friendly furnishings and accessories. This not only maintained the room's unique character but also reduced its environmental footprint.

What Is The Difference Between Green Architecture And Biophilic Design?

Green architecture and biophilic design often get mentioned together, but they actually focus on different things when it comes to creating healthier living spaces. Green architecture is all about reducing the environmental impact of buildings. This means using energy-efficient systems, eco-friendly materials, and renewable energy sources to cut down on carbon footprints and resource use. The main goal here is to make buildings that are good for the environment and use resources wisely throughout their entire life.

Biophilic design, on the other hand, is more about enhancing our connection to nature within our homes and workplaces. It’s about bringing the outdoors in by adding elements like plants, water features, and the rhythm of natural light. This approach aims to make us feel better, reduce stress, and boost our productivity by creating spaces that remind us of the natural world. While green architecture focuses on being sustainable and environmentally friendly, biophilic design emphasizes the tenants of neuroaesthetics, thus improving our mental and physical health by creating calming, nature-inspired environments.

How is Biophilic Design Sustainable?

Biophilic design is naturally sustainable because it benefits both people and the environment. By incorporating natural elements like plants, water features, and plenty of natural light into living spaces, it reduces the need for artificial materials and energy. For example, using more natural light cuts down on electricity use.

This approach also emphasizes sustainable materials like reclaimed wood and recycled metals, which lower the environmental impact of construction. Plants not only beautify spaces but also improve air quality by filtering pollutants.

Biophilic design also supports biodiversity by using native plants and creating habitats for local wildlife. This fosters a harmonious relationship between humans and nature, promoting environmental stewardship and a healthier, more balanced ecosystem.
