It’s very on trend to bring nature and organic elements into your home. The ability to bring nature into your home has been an ambition that homeowners have strived for over the centuries. For generations humans have loved the natural and organic appeal of elements that make them feel calm and at peace – elements that make them feel welcomed into a room.
One of the reasons we love nature so much is our inherent connection to the outdoors, we are drawn to natural elements such as wood, cotton, leather and seagrass to name a few. Choosing materials that resonate with your personal style is the first step towards bringing them into your home. Some homeowners might enjoy the rugged nature of natural cork walls for their bathroom while another may prefer the more sophisticated flair of dark mahogany flooring.
If you have been trying to think of inspiring ways to bring the outdoors into your home, there are several options for your bathroom. Bathrooms are where you can relax and rejuvenate. Connecting your body to water and heat can transport your mind and soul to serenity and calmness. There is no better way to complete your bathroom sanctuary than with natural materials. Wood walls are a great option and many bathrooms are now inspired by a dry heat sauna.
Gone are the days when the only greenery to see in people’s homes were artificial flowers. These days nature is finding its way into more and more interiors in its real and natural state. In the past the upkeep of tending to houseplants was regarded as a chore. Today, planting indoor bulbs, or keeping low maintenance plants such as succulents, cactus, or just adorning your home office desk with a fresh bouquet can instantly cheer up any room. You can even have plants in your bathroom if you so wish- provided the conditions are conducive to the plant thriving that is!
One of the easiest, cheapest and most beautiful natural elements that many forget about is sunlight. Copious amounts of natural daylight can make any room come alive, and greatly enhance the colours in furnishings and wall decor; all whilst making people feel healthy and inspired. Natural light can have an effect like no other in your bathroom and throughout your home’s interior so it’s important to maximise it wherever possible.
