~ Interiors inspired by nature ~
on: Saturday 7 June 2025
at: The Cosener's House
Abingdon-on-Thames

Join me as we embark on a journey of discovery together.
n. Bio-philia is derived from the Greek words bio meaning life and philia meaning love
and refers to the innate human affinity with nature and all living things.
Learn the key principles of biophilic design and create your very own unique biophilic blueprint!
What's included ...
from 9am
Registration with welcome drinks and pastries available
and the opportunity to meet your fellow attendees.
9.30 ~ 10.30
Introductions, intentions and an illustrated presentation,
guiding you through the 15 key principles of biophilic design
and why I believe it is the ideal framework to create spaces
that enhance the well-being of people and our planet.
10.45 ~ 11.15
We shall take a break to enjoy refreshments and (weather permitting!)
the beautiful gardens at The Cosener's House.
11.15 ~ 12.30
We shall reconvene to explore our own unique nature-inspired preferences
and then create a personal 'concept mood-board' that will act as
a blueprint for creating interiors that are both supportive
and truly reflect your personality and preferred style.
12.30 ~ 12.45
We shall end the workshop with a Q&A session to clarify any questions
you may have, so you leave with a better understanding of how to interpret your blueprint to create beautiful, unique and nurturing spaces.
from 12.45 ~
A delicious lunch will be served and there will be the opportunity to relax and connect with fellow attendees before leaving with your mood-board and a goodie bag full of inspiration, offers and samples from some of my favourite eco-friendly British designers, manufacturers and suppliers !
All this for the very special launch price of
just £85.00 !
Meet your host ~
Hi, I’m Claire Ewers – founder of Appleby Interiors and a specialist in biophilic and salutogenic design, which are particularly beneficial for sensitive souls and those who identify as neuro-divergent.
With industry recognised qualifications and many years experience as a decorator, designer and building maintenance surveyor, I create soulful, supportive spaces inspired by nature and individuality.
My lived experience of multiple neuro-divergent conditions, provides me with a unique insight into the cognitive and sensory challenges faced by individuals and families where neuro-divergent traits exist.
This workshop brings together my passion for inclusive, sustainable interiors and my mission to help others feel truly at home.
Whether you're a homeowner, renter, parent, support worker, educator, or design professional, this workshop is your invitation to create more thoughtful, nature-inspired environments that honour diversity and promote harmony.
I'm looking forward to meeting you ~
