It's easy to make your home more comfortable and relaxing. You simply connect it to nature by bringing the outside to the inside. Plants and natural materials instantly create a calm, serene atmosphere. Their effect can be remarkably therapeutic and can help alleviate stress. They'll also make your home look cozy and welcoming.
Spring Color
It's exciting to plan upgrades for your house as the winter months fade away. Spring is the perfect season to choose a new color scheme for your rooms. To provide a soothing backdrop for your plants, you should choose natural, earthy colors. Take your inspiration from the plants and views outside your windows. If there are nearby bushes with dark, evergreen foliage, choose a color to complement them. A pale gray-green or pastel yellow ochre could be ideal. Light blue can make your room connect with the sky outside. Remember that pale colors make a room look larger while dark tones make it appear smaller.
Indoor Jungle
You'll need to use plants that are suitable for indoor spaces. There are many evergreen varieties such as tropical palms and vines. They'll love a warm, sunny location near a window. You can add an exotic elegance with pots of flowering orchids in beautiful colors. They are relatively easy to grow and have a fragrant aroma. Amaryllis is a large, colorful plant that can create a striking focal point in a room. Jasmine with tiny white flowers is perfect for climbing around a window frame to highlight the plants outside. A landscape gardener can advise you on which plants will thrive indoors and how you should care for them.
Natural Shelves
A large plant in a heavy, clay pot is safer standing on the floor. But many smaller bushes and flowers may need to be placed on shelves. Natural materials can complement your collection of plants and give your home an environmentally-friendly appearance. Shelving made of reclaimed wood is always popular. It can often look weathered with rough edges and have intricate grain patterns. But your home doesn't have to be rustic in design to appreciate plants. If you adore industrial chic, you can install shelves or tiered racks made of metallic girders. Adding your plant collection to them should demonstrate how effectively nature can harmonize with man-made objects.
Maintenance-Free Plants
It can sometimes be difficult to care for living plants. Many of them need to be given different amounts of water. It's an easy mistake to place a potted plant in the wrong location where it may receive too much or not enough sunlight. Choosing artificial plants is a convenient alternative. There are many realistic versions that can provide the same effect of harmonizing with nature, but without the hassle. A current interior design trend is a living wall where you fill an entire panel with foliage. It's an impressive feature to have in your living room, but you need to be dedicated to maintain it properly. Maintenance-free, artificial plants are the perfect answer. They look realistic and could give your home an incredible appearance.
Seamless Harmony
It's important to make your exterior space harmonize with the inside of your home. A landscape gardener can help you create a seamless transition between the plants in your backyard and those in your rooms. Spring cleaning and maintenance for the exterior of your house is an ideal starting point. It gives you an opportunity to redesign a patio or porch to incorporate new planting schemes. Floor to ceiling doors can be opened to show similar plants both inside and outside. Hanging up potted plants on your porch and inside your home gives a coordinated look.
Floral Fabrics
Soft furnishings such as drapes and cushions are another easy care solution. Beautiful textures and designs include fabrics with prints of flowers and foliage. It's easy to connect inside and outside by using the same fabrics for covers on chairs on your porch and in your living room. Rustic kitchens look very stylish with floral accessories. Sophisticated home interiors should aim to balance patterns full of flowers with striped or textured fabrics.
Conclusion
A landscape gardener can help you bring nature into your home. You'll create a tranquil atmosphere that's restful and soothing. Painting your walls in neutral, earthy colors provides a calm backdrop for your collection of plants. Natural accessories such as wooden shelving and colorful, floral fabrics help to complete a design of harmony. Flowering plants also add a beautiful scent to the air. Genuine or artificial foliage and flowers can transform your room. It should become a peaceful haven where you'll love to relax.
