Hello World! Mother Nature seems to play a huge role in home décor options these days. You can find tons of items that feature the designs of nature from throw pillows that look like grass to wrought iron tree bark designs on the staircase. Not only does this naturalistic approach make us feel as though we are bringing the outdoors in, it also provides an atmosphere of calm and serenity. If you are looking for new ways to invite Mother Nature into your home, consider some of these options.

Natural Materials
You can start simply by looking for ways to encompass natural materials into your décor and permanent elements. For an added bonus, just about everything you might be considering comes in an eco-friendly alternative.
Flooring: If you have carpet or laminate floors, think about changing them out for rustic natural wood or even bamboo planks. This material often lasts longer too!
Fabrics: Natural elements are simple to include as lampshades, baskets, vases, and many more.
Rugs: There are many materials that make for great rugs, such as jute, sisal, and hemp.
Outdoor Objects
Though you should be careful about sourcing natural items for décor, there are lots of great ways to add spots of nature inside your home.
Décor: If you have a beach or cabin theme, place items such as shells or pinecones as decoration.
Live plants: Nothing makes the indoors feel more natural and welcoming than the bright greens of houseplants.
Fruits and vegetables: Lemon, apples, and even eggplants can provide a pop of color in your house if displayed in a glass fruit bowl.
Delight the Senses
You can add to your inviting natural space in other ways as well, besides just adding in décor. Try these methods for increasing the calm in your home.
Scents: Open the windows when possible to encourage fresh air to flow into your home. You can also burn candles or add live flowers to make your rooms smell as pleasant as they look.
Natural light: Creating a bright and airy home will feel inviting and calming to both occupants and visitors.
Colors from nature: Look for opportunities to use greens, browns, oranges, or corals in your décor.
It’s not difficult to add the refreshing feel of nature to your home. You can get started today with a few simple steps, and for larger projects, be sure to include as many natural fibers and materials as you can. When it comes to creating calm, Mother Nature has provided nearly every element you could possibly need!
Thank you for popping in for a visit. Have a lovely day and remember to be kind to one another!
Toodles,
This is a trend I like! Even the most elegant style of room looks better with at least one element added that is natural or rustic.
