How To Bring The Outside In
In recent times, there’s been a heightened appreciation for the beauty of nature, along with a desire to infuse our living spaces with the tranquillity of the outdoors, irrespective of our location. We’re no longer content with feeling confined within the walls of our homes, and a trend has emerged, where design draws inspiration from the natural world.
However, before you hastily venture to the nearest store to amass an assortment of plants, it’s crucial to take several factors into account. Begin by evaluating your living space, the quality of available light, and your ability to dedicate time to maintenance. Luckily there are also alternative methods for bringing the outdoors in that extend beyond creating a miniature greenhouse within your home. Furthermore, if you have small children or pets, it’s good to select elements that are safe and suitable for them as well.
Light it up
When you think about the outdoors, one of the first things that comes to mind is sunlight. So, if you want to bring the outdoors inside, consider lighting. When you bring plants and flowers into your home, make sure they receive the right amount of natural light.
Apart from natural light, also think about other types of lighting to create an outdoor-like feel indoors. Consider using a mix of natural and artificial lighting to create a welcoming indoor environment that evokes the charm of the outdoors.
Get earthy
Bringing the outdoors into your home involves more than just adding plants and inviting sunlight. A charming way to infuse your living space with an earthy, natural ambiance is by incorporating textiles that mirror the colours and patterns found in the great outdoors. This approach offers a broad canvas for your creativity, allowing you to tailor the design to fit your specific space and preferences.
Consider various ways to express this natural aesthetic in your decor. For instance, you could opt for throw cushions featuring leaf patterns or adorned with calming shades of green. Another option is to incorporate wood or stone materials into your interior design, evoking a rustic and genuine natural feel that seamlessly connects your indoor space to the outdoor world. The possibilities are endless, so feel free to get as creative as you want.
Redo just one area
You don’t need to transform your entire house. Sometimes, just adding some outside elements to one space of the room can be all that you need. This is also a great way to experiment with the idea before taking it to the rest of the room. Maybe add some plants or look for a nature-inspired image to put on the wall.
Add some plants
Last, but certainly not least, is one of the easiest ways to bring a more natural feel to your room. By adding plants you’re not only making the area look more like the outside but you’re also adding a great source of oxygen to the room. Just make sure you’ve done some research into the plants so that you choose plants that are easy to maintain if you don’t have the time for their upkeep.
Bringing the outside in is a beautiful way to acknowledge the power of nature and can bring great joy into the house. Have fun and get earthy!
