D E S I G N + B U I L D Bring nature into the home BrandPointContent.com edited by YourVilla Staff It’s no secret that nature has the power to inspire, invigorate, restore and refresh. Research shows that nature can offer mental health benefits including decreasing stress and relieving anxiety. In fact, incorporating elements of nature into the home has been proven to improve happiness and well-being. Get in touch with nature. According to the National Kitchen & Bath Association, 40% of people want a connection to nature in their kitchen. One way to achieve this is by choosing nature-inspired materials for focal areas like countertops, cabinets and kitchen islands. Calm with color. Whether used as a room’s canvas or a pop of color on an accent wall, paint is an easy and affordable way to evoke nature’s beauty in the home. In fact, decorating with paint colors inspired by nature can bring a sense of calm and serenity to any living space. Dark blue hues reminiscent of water and the sky are trending, along with lush greens that infuse spaces with the fresh essence of grass and foliage, and nature’s neutrals like tans and beiges that express earthiness. Let textiles take you away. Natural fabrics and fibers are a great way to keep things, well, natural. Add a jute rug or chunky knitted wool throw to your space. When picking a fabric/fiber, make sure to choose earthy tones inspired by nature. Add warmth with wood. The timeless look of wood is making a return to kitchens and baths but with a modern flair for a new generation. Think velvety, warm woodgrain looks gorgeously showcased in flat front doors with minimalist hardware. Bring the outdoors in. Nature itself offers an endless array of accessories that can be incorporated into a home’s design aesthetic. Beyond the obvious addition of plants and flowers, consider creatively displaying rocks or shells collected from travels. Fill apothecary jars with sand from different beaches to add balance and harmony to a room. Or, mount pieces of unique tree branches on a wall as an artistic focal point. With nature, the possibilities are truly limitless. FREE ESTIMATE // 866-396-7282 // www.SmartGarage4u.com // Lifetime Warranty We Will Beat Any Advertised Price!
