Nature indicates peace and tranquility. By bringing some bits and pieces of that nature into your home or replicating the decor a little bit to match the outdoors can really fill your senses and your home with positive energy.
Bringing a touch of nature into your home decor does not take a lot of effort and neither does it cost much. All you have to do is clear out some space and let your creativity flow.
We are here with some pointers to help you decide which type of decor suits your home the best:
Without further ado, let’s bring nature into your home with these amazing home decor ideas-
1. Include Plant Life
Nothing says nature more than some cute plants around the house. These will make your home feel more organic besides the leaves and greenery also gives a very pleasing relief to the eyes.
Surrounding yourself with some low light indoor plants is a great way to revitalize your mind and soul. Lady palms, Ficus Elastica, Adiantum, Succulents are all great choices and are readily available in your local stores.
2. Incorporate Natural Material
Using some furniture or showpieces made of natural materials can really improve that rustic appeal you need in your home. There can be a lot of decors to choose from. Here are a couple of our favorites-
Tree trunk sections
Coffee tables made from the sections of tree trunks are now commonly seen. The type of wood used and the design for these pieces of furniture make them versatile elements that can adapt to several styles of decoration.
Shells
During spring and summer, consider decorating your home with seashells. Furthermore, for the cooler seasons, these natural elements would be perfect for a bathroom decorated with the sea or beach theme.
Agate
Rocks, precious stones and agates will bring a good dose of color and texture to your decoration.
Wicker furniture
Whether it is a table or a chair, wicker furniture always brings a special touch to the decoration.
Live-edge Table
Live edge tables are a bit costly but look amazing as centerpieces. They can really give your living room a more rustic feel
3. The Stone Structure
As we have sometimes seen that stone or pebbles are used to create a pathway to the outdoor pools. It looks amazing but it doesn’t necessarily mean that they can only be used outdoors.
Grab a bowl and put some colorful pebbles in it and you can make a beautiful centerpiece for your coffee table. If you want to do a more extensive project then try using stone backsplashes on your kitchen and bathroom and completely change the look of the place.
4. Use Natural Lights
Letting natural lights do its job is the easiest thing you can do. This one element can single-handedly make your place feel more rejuvenating and fresh.
Now a lot of people don’t have enough space for sunlight to come and shine through the house. As for the people that do have the option, make sure you make good use of it.
Keep your windows sparkly clean and open the drapes. All you have to do is strategically place a few mirrors so that the light reflects freely throughout your house.
5. Stick To A theme
There are plenty of themes related to nature. But don’t go overboard, the main purpose of having that rustic or natural appeal is to make your house look simple yet elegant.
What you can do is stick to one particular theme for the entire house or you can choose different themes for different rooms.
For instance, use natural minerals in your bathroom and give it an ocean theme. Your bathroom is the one place you have to go before starting your day. Upgrading your bathroom a little bit can make it even more relaxing.
Use wooden walls for the entire bathroom to give it a sauna-like feel. Place some decorative shells around the place and see how amazing it looks.
Use a complete floral inspiration for the dining room or kitchen. We previously mentioned plants. Since it is the one element that can alone make your place look more natural we are going to put more emphasis on it.
You can even use this theme in the kitchen. Put small potted plants around the sink, or some succulents on top of the fridge and cabinets.
You can go with a wooden theme for your living room. Where you can have wooden textured walls and floor alongside wooden or wicker furniture.
Remember about the live-edge wooden table?
Well, that can be the perfect addition to this theme. You can add a few other wooden accessories and vases and you are good to go.
Like we said earlier you don’t have to put a lot of effort into it, you just have to be a bit imaginative.
6. Install A Brick Backdrop
There are a few things that instantly portray a rustic and outdoorsy look. One of them is wood and the other is brick. Bricks as a textured backdrop can be used in your living space or any other room you want. Match the color of the backdrop with the rest of the room and you are good to go.
You can use the original reddish color of the brick or put a complete white coating on it. All you have to do now is to organize the room according to that color and finish.
7. A Running Water Feature Is A Must
A running water feature is the perfect combination of sight and sound. There are many different types. Some are attachable to walls and some are just like regular accessories.
These indoor waterfalls don’t have to be large and expensive but make sure you get one that has a few natural elements. For instance, a beautiful wooden frame with pebbles inside, and a green, pleasant background behind the running water.
Try to find one like this and I promise you will be staring at it every time as you walk past it.
8. A Combination Of Art and Nature
Paintings can create an impact. Some subtle painting and pictures can really go with the whole nature vibe we are trying to portray here. The picture can also match with the themes we talked about before.
If you have a wooden theme in mind then choose a more rustic frame. If you want to use a white stone backdrop then choose a plain white or black frame with a beautiful picture on it. You can experiment with it but make sure you place a few paintings around the house.
