Incorporating Natural Elements into Your Home

How To / October 15,2013

Neutral tones and earthy colours create a genuinely warm feeling in any space. Apart from using the right colours, it's all about putting the right elements together to create your ideal living area. Here are some expert tips to get you started:

  • It's not just about the wall colours it's also about the fabrics in the space. This includes the fabric your sofa is covered in.
  • Try to incorporate wood trimmings and wood related materials to compliment the earthy tones.
  • Let in lots of natural light. Skylights are wonderful for this, and so are large wall to ceiling sliding doors that open up onto a lush garden or bush/rainforest paradise.
  • If you aren't keen on fabric sofas, woven wooden chairs and lounges are a wonderful alternative and work perfectly with this theme.
  • Grey furnishings often compliment wood furniture well.
  • Try to incorporate plants in your decor. They are great for adding a splash of colour to your living area and they also help to clear the air.
