Hello World! When it comes to artistic inspiration, nature can be a great muse. In fact, nature plays a prominent role in the lives of many. You see this influence in a home filled with flowers and plants. It’s not just the living elements that can inspire design, though. Colors, shapes and even textures can all be pulled from spending more time outside. Spending time outdoors in the middle of nature, such as staying in Broken Bow cabins, gives you a chance to examine these elements first hand.
Colors
Many people will spend a lot of effort trying to emulate the colors seen in nature. From the shades of green viewed during the spring and summer to fall colors, nature influences a lot of home design. Even the natural color of stones such as shale and granite can be seen in various aspects of the property. For example, a lot of people will use stones for paving or even wall covering in the bathroom.
Textures
The textures of something as simple as wood are often part of the home design. An example of this is when manufacturers integrate faux wood grain within vinyl tile or laminate flooring. This gives a realistic appearance and feel as homeowners try to emulate the “cabin experience.” Even tempered plastic decking materials are made with a realistic wooden feel, although they may not contain an ounce of wood.
Natural Appearance
Homeowners will often incorporate more plants within the home to try and capture something experienced in the great outdoors. This can be anything from simple plants around the house to installing beautiful trees within their landscaping. While some plants may not grow as well depending on the climate, people will often place indigenous plants to resemble something experienced in the mountains or while on vacation.
Plants are not the only thing nature can inspire. Homeowners often install miniature waterfalls, ponds and even streams on the property in order to give the yard a more natural appearance. Perhaps you could build a small waterfall to feed into your swimming pool. It’s all about making the property look like something taken directly out of the outdoors themselves.
Although design magazines can be inspirational when it comes time to renovate the home, never underestimate what nature can offer. From amazing colors that you may want to capture forever to the appearance of your favorite grotto, it can all become a part of the home. When you own property, there really is no limit to what you can create for yourself.
Thank you for stopping by! Have a lovely day/night depending on where you are in the world! Go with God and remember to be kind to one another!
