OBSERVE THE COLORS: Modern Natural Decor through Color

Add that warm color to bringing house decor inspiration from the elements in nature. The largest accent color in my home is inspired by the trees, not the leaves, but the tree trunk. That rich coloring stares at me every single time I am in nature, whether it is summer or winter, it is always there. Leaves are another source of major inspiration for me.

You don’t have to have green in your main accent for the home, you can go deeper to bring that same feeling in nature.

I am known for pulling over in my car to take a photo of leaves on the street. Obsessed!

TAKE IN THE DETAILS: Nature Details with Organic Textures

We love driving around and discovering barns around our neighborhood. A structure like a barn many times become one with nature; the wood get weathered, the softness of the shapes blend into the rolling hills or the majestic look highlights its surrounding beauty, it becomes iconic.

Confessing, I am the barn stalker! I flip for a barn, they are so unique, just so happy they are huge structures that I can take my photo and not trespass. Note to self, need a sign made that says I brake for Barns!

SIT AND LISTEN TO THE SOUNDS: Nature as Inspiration for Art

Winter is arriving, but no matter what time of the year it is, nothing inspires me to decorate my home and my life than taking inspiration from nature. Today we all feel a deeper need to connect with more than our daily routine, moving into rural areas, growing our own food, earning more for garden projects by connecting to other homesteaders and jumping into the cozy trend that I believe is here to stay. The need is real, natural inspired decor ideas are all around us.

Decorating inspiration can be found in the sounds around you. Think of how many use white noise to fall asleep or to permeate the home while they work. It make you feel connected to a moment in time. One of my favorites is the TV screen saver with a fireplace crackling or running river water. I can’t tell you how much it changes the whole feeling of the room. A peaceful nature within your home!

Don’t you love technology at times like these?! Place an iPad far away from the tub and turning that roaring fireplace on. I have done it in cold mornings, just to have the sound feels mentally warmer while I get ready. Amazing how the mind works!

TOUCH ELEMENTS IN NATURE: How to add the Fresh Nature Aesthetic

Touch is a sense I bring into my Raw decor style. You will be amazed how you see things people create around you! Here is a structure that was created on the shore, it was so absolutely beautiful! It inspired me to bring it into my home by adding a large beach wood sculpture. Add something that is a literal interpretation into your home, just do this keeping simplicity in mind. Follow me on instagram for highlights of my home decor.

WILDLIFE CONNECTION: Wildlife Add Meaning.

Wildlife is the best of decor ideas. Not only in the way that they look, but how they live their life and evolve. This is a salmon I watch for the first time spawning. You want to help, but you know you can’t interfere, it is about having faith in nature and the process.

Decorating inspiration comes from the most unusual places and it does not have to be a picture of an animal on the wall. It can be the meaning or feeling it brings to you and you identify with. For me, I love the water and all wildlife associated with it; orcas, salmon, seals, cranes and much more.

The feeling it brings me to watch them, I want to reinterpret in my home. The sense of anticipation, providing a garden that brings them, for example, creating a pond that will attracts birds, have water plants and fish. a place to meditate and be connected to wildlife for that moment. Find that one things that provides you with a sense of anticipation!

FEEL THE SUNLIGHT: The warmth, the kiss of glow!

In the Pacific Northwest, sun is the equivalent of a gem. When you feel the sun rays and see the sunlight, it has a meaning like no other. I find a lot of meaning in that and the inspiration translate through my accessories.

Here are a few to consider introducing in your home:

• A Warm Fire.
• Candles provide a sense of warmth. You can even get battery operated with flickering effect.

DON’T MISS THE SOFTNESS: Look around for that cozy feel.

Decorating inspiration from Nature is not only in the wild, it is around where you live, a corner in your urban neighborhood, a park, that home that sits on a hill. I become inspired to creating that cozy feel you feel when going for a walk and discovering new place that change every season.

You don’t need to change everything each season to create the feeling. But the layering of textures found in nature can be recreated in your home. The modern feel of the still water agains the organic and dramatic backdrop of the landscape. An example would be adding a large simple mirror to a texture wall, whether it is a wood or stone wall. The contrast creates softness and that cozy feel we all look for.

GOOD DEEP AND FIND MEANING!

This is the time, no better time, to stop for a moment and notice what is around you. House decor inspiration does not have to be found at a store, without first understanding the connection to what makes you feel cozy.

Take the time to understand what you need most in your life so you can surround yourself with it.

All of this can happen around your home, while traveling, walking the dog or commuting to work. It is wonderful that today we have iPhones and, are able to capture those moments to understand what makes you feel best.

The decoration inspiration is where you least expect it, keep watching!

Stay Creative!
