Spring is here, and you’ve already tidied up the garden? Well done! But don’t sit down and wait until Mother Nature brings wonderful colours and smells into your garden. This spring, why don’t you take a bold step into the decorative world and bring nature directly into your home. After all, it’s the best way to make the most of the delights of the season.
Maximise Natural Sunlight
The days are longer, and the sun is brighter than it has been for months. So it’s time to use natural light as an inherent part of your interior décor. If your windows are a bit dated, have a look at the Residence 9 windows collection from Buckingham Double Glazing to find some inspiration, for example. After all, new windows can change the ambience in your home and let more light in – and less cold air, which is a significant advantage. When changing your windows, look out for a timber look with modern material to keep it low maintenance. This will combine the best of the classic and modern world to create a décor that comes with no comfort compromise.
Keep It Au Naturel
Natural materials and shades are not only an interior trend, but they also have a soothing quality that brings peacefulness to your décor. When it comes to picking natural elements for your home, the imagination is your only limit. You can choose to maximise natural colours with a painting project. Or if you want a more subtle approach, why not find a creative way of using natural material, such as using a piece of driftwood as part of your décor? If you live in an old house, you can give your roof beams some love with a fresh coat of paint to let them stand out. You can also upcycle old furniture with a little of DIY love to create a new atmosphere.
Love The Smell Of Nature
If you’re already happy with your interior, you can find other ways of taking a piece of nature with you. Smell is renowned to be a sense that is linked to unconscious sensations. Therefore, using natural fragrances in your home can be all it takes to create a natural décor. A floral combination of organic jasmine and geranium can fill the living room with a calming scent, for example. Or if you want something more fruity, citrus scents are ideal to liven up a room. You can even create your own diffuser with peels of organic fruits and spices.
Use It Indoors
Last, but not least, why not use plants as part of your décor? Creating an indoor garden with hanging plants can frame a wall and add some colours to the room, for example. You can also use a shelving unit as a background for your indoor jungle if you don’t like hanging plants. The presence of plants has a purifying impact on the air automatically, and it also creates a peaceful environment. Besides, you will find yourself discovering a new form of beauty in the observation of your plants: Every little growth becomes an allegory of life.
