Decorating Your Home with Natural Elements

Bring the Outdoors into Your Home

Nature can make us feel calm yet rejuvenated, which is why people love to escape to the outdoors. Decorating with nature can capture this sense of well-being in our homes, and even the most modern home decor can be enhanced with natural elements. For inspiration, check out our slide show below.

Wood

Wood is a natural element used in almost every home. Mixing natural materials with more modern ones offers a contrast - like how these heavy wood doors stand out against their metal hardware and the sleek, stainless steel cable rails of the balcony and staircase.

Plants (Copy)

Plants

Don’t be afraid to decorate with real, live plants. They not only add life to your home, but they improve the air quality. Just make sure you pick varieties that will work well with the lighting your space offers and that fit your ability to care for them… because dead plants are worse than no plants.

Wicker Furniture

Who says wicker is just for the patio? Wicker furniture indoors offers a breezy, outdoorsy feel. Woven from plant stalks like a basket, it can make a room seem more organic and natural.

Ocean Elements

Even if you’re not looking for a total beach look, elements from the ocean like seashells, starfish, and sand dollars can give your room a spa-like quality.

Cotton (Copy)

Cotton

Even one branch of cotton can add a seasonal uniqueness to a space. Here, you see the cotton contrasting with a cactus - soft versus pointy and subtropical versus desert.

Stone (Copy)

Stone

Stone is a beautiful natural element commonly used in home design. In this HomeSource Design kitchen remodel we had the granite in island continue down the sides only using it on the countertop. The stripes in the stone offer movement to the space and complement the rest of the kitchen’s colors.
