The elements of nature have a way of providing a calming sensation in any atmosphere. A walk through nature provides: the song of birds, smells of fresh air, while admiring the gorgeous stone and greenery surrounding you. This adventure isn’t the only way to see mother nature in your day; you can also incorporate organic materials into your home’s design.
If you’re looking for new ways to bring the outdoors inside, here are a few ways to integrate natural materials around the house:
1. Use Live Edge Wood Furniture
Natural wood designs are known for simplicity, utility and beauty. These incorporate pure elegance, craftsmanship and warm functionality. The mixture of earthy tones and organic materials of a Live or Natural edge wood gives design a refreshing-yet-classic approach.
2. Try Sheer Draperies to Emphasize Natural Lighting.
Natural lighting is a must in many homes. If you don’t have large sunny windows or enough privacy to leave the windows open with ease, just emphasize the natural lighting you have by hanging sheer draperies. Bold, heavy window treatments can set the wrong tone in a room that’s embracing organic elements, while decorative sheers allow sunlight to shine through and create a soft elegant look.
3. Incorporate Granite, Stone or Concrete elements.
While granite is most commonly associated with the kitchen, there are so many different ways to incorporate this gorgeous material in your interior design. Natural stone as your coffee table, or as an accent piece may add the perfect element to your design. Using stone is a beautiful to highlight any room, bring nature inside and give you a functional space for years to come.
4. Accent with clay and terra cotta.
If you’re interested in Mediterranean or French Country style, clay and terra cotta make a beautiful statement. Incorporate these materials into your home by placing beautiful, glazed clay planters filled with your favorite house plant, or a tall decorative vase as a focal point. These clay pieces come in an array of gorgeous patterns and bright accent colors.
5. Create a custom headboard.
Are you looking for a fun way to incorporate natural elements in the bedroom? Perhaps a leather headboard can help you achieve the organic look in a modern and trendy way. There is a world of gorgeous fabrics to mimic natural textures and fauna. This is a unique and attractive option for making your sleeping area the focal point in the bedroom.
These are just a few of the many ways you can incorporate natural materials into your home. If you want to discuss these options or learn more, ABCA Designs would be glad to help you make the best choice for your home.
