Outdoor Essence celebrates the imperfections of nature. The grit of stone, the knot you see in lumber, and the colors you find on earth. Biophilia is defined as holding close contact with nature. The pandemic has streamlined this trend to the very front with a dire need for bringing the outdoors in to bring wholeness to mind, body, and spirit. Wood-style
planks, recycled glass mosaics, and natural-looking materials flourish with this trend.
