Los Angeles County, CA - In an era when the built environment is being reexamined through the lens of wellness, sustainability, and human connection, biophilic design has emerged as a defining movement in modern interiors. At its core, it is not simply about aesthetics—it is about the fundamental human need to coexist with nature, even within the walls of our homes. This month, the renowned publication Martha Stewart spotlighted this growing design ethos, and among the experts consulted was Los Angeles County-based interior designer Christine Jahan, whose insights and work on lighting and its role in biophilic design were prominently featured.
The article, titled These 10 Biophilic Design Ideas Will Transform Your Home Into a Natural Oasis, explores how natural elements—light, textures, materials, and spatial flow—can shape interior spaces that feel restorative and grounded. Jahan’s contribution focused on layered lighting, emphasizing how thoughtful illumination can bridge the gap between artificial and natural light, fostering a more inviting and harmonious atmosphere. “Flood your space with natural sunlight if you can. If not, fake it,” Jahan told Martha Stewart. She explained how a combination of natural daylight, sconces, and soft-glow bulbs can create a seamless transition between the outdoor and indoor experience.
For residents of Los Angeles County and the greater Los Angeles County area, the recognition of Jahan’s expertise in a major national publication speaks to a broader trend: the increasing prioritization of wellness-driven design in Southern California homes. The region’s climate and natural landscape offer an ideal canvas for integrating biophilic principles, yet many homeowners struggle to translate that potential into their living spaces. Jahan, known for her refined yet livable approach to design, has been at the forefront of this shift, working with local homeowners to create interiors that embrace natural materials, strategic lighting, and organic forms.
The feature in Martha Stewart places Jahan among a select group of designers shaping the national conversation around how homes should feel—not just how they should look. Her focus on light as a transformative element underscores a larger movement happening throughout Los Angeles County: a reevaluation of how design impacts mental and physical well-being. As more homeowners seek to cultivate environments that offer refuge from the fast-paced world outside, designers like Jahan are offering solutions that merge science, art, and nature into spaces that feel as nourishing as they are beautiful.
This latest national recognition adds to Jahan’s growing influence in the design world. Yet, for those in Los Angeles County, her impact has long been evident in the homes she has transformed, each one a testament to the philosophy that design should be restorative.See more of Christine's work here.
