Nature-Inspired Decorating Ideas



If you are a consumer who wants to show your green lifestyle in your home, look for ways to conserve energy and reuse resources. Whenever you purchase home decor items, you get a chance to help the Earth. Buy products made from sustainable or recycled materials. Adopting nature-inspired decor items ensures that your love for natural beauty is never far from your mind in your home oasis.

Pillows and Cushions

When you think about the concept "nature-inspired," you might picture a giant tree in your living room. Nature-inspired means adding hints of nature to a decor. Pillows and cushions are neutral items you can add to a room. If you want to jazz up an old sofa, chaise lounge, daybed, armchair or other piece of furniture in the living room, just add soft pillows and cushions.

Color Schemes

Lighting also changes the way a room looks. Of course, you want to bring more sunlight into a room, such as by adding a skylight or windows. You can change the color scheme to make a room feel larger. Dr. Kenneth Fehrman and Cherie Fehrman, authors of "Home Decorating Q&A," say to paint walls in deeper tones and use pale-colored furniture for visual contrast. Change the paint to a woodsy dark brown or black. Use blond-colored furniture to create your contrast. You can even paint one accent wall with a neutral color like hunter green. Add potted plants or trees to increase the earthiness of the room.

Found Wood

Found pieces of wood also create natural decor for your home. You might have heard of using long pieces of driftwood, for example, as curtain rods. You can also use found wood for other home decor ideas. If you electrify the wood, preserve it for use as a rack on which to hang coats, car keys and other knickknacks. Or build lamp bases from electrified wood. You can also paint wood and use it as a trunk for a faux potted tree. Add recycled materials, such as leaves made of green-painted shredded newsprint, to the tree trunk.
