Natural Elements as Home Decor

More Ideas to Bring the Outdoors into Your Home

Last month, we shared ideas for decorating with natural elements so that you could turn your home into a relaxing and rejuvenating space. This month, since we are talking about destressing in our homes, we thought we’d revisit the topic of decorating with nature and look at some more ideas. For inspiration, check out our slide show below.

Water

Few things are more relaxing than the sound of flowing water, so a water fountain or even a wall of water is a natural element to consider for your home. Find a fountain that is not overbearing or has no sound at all. Many fountains have an adjustable pump so that you can change the flow of the water to your liking.

Herbs (Copy)

Herbs

Dried or fresh herbs add a nice touch to a room, and many of them—such as lavender, which has long been known for its relaxing properties—have a smell that adds to the room’s feel. You can heighten the intensity of the scent using essential oils or candles with the scent.

Leaves (Copy)

Leaves

If you want to use leaves in your decor, you are only limited by your imagination. They can be in table settings, wreaths, garland, and more! Plus, each season has its own variation, and the materials are right outside your door.

Pine Cones (Copy)

Pine Cones

Pine cones are perfect for fall and winter decorating, and all you have to do is find a good conifer tree in the woods or at a park and gather them. You can usually find them between September and December.

Fruits and Vegetables (Copy)

Fruits and Vegetables

Using either fresh or dried fruits and vegetables in your decor invokes the feelings associated with the fruits you choose. Plus, they make us think of certain seasons. Lemons, for example, imply summer and freshness. Pumpkins and Indian corn conjure fall.
