Weekly Design Inspiration: Natural Elements in Interior Design
This warmer winter weather has been delightful, however the lack of sunshine has me dreaming of sunny days and the great outdoors in summer. A favourite way to keep your home feeling warm and cozy all year round is by incorporating natural elements into your home design. These elements make subtle yet huge impacts on the feel of your home.
Wood Flooring
Whether you opt for natural wood or a wood look alternative, the warmth of wood grain adds instant warmth to your home. Wood flooring will never go out of style, it is definitely an upgrade worth incorporating into your home build or renovation budget.
Wood Elements
Incorporating wood into your permanent design elements in your home is a long time favourite of mine. Whether it’s in your kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanity or beams in your ceiling, you can not go wrong here!
Match these natural warm features with a natural stone and some greenery and you’ve got a gorgeous result. I love the contrast of natural and modern in this dreamy bathroom.
Wood Accent Furniture
Not renovating or building but still looking to update your space? Natural accent furniture is the way to go. Mix and match with soft furnishings and warm natural colours for the perfect finish.
How cozy is this bedroom?! You know I love a good shiplap wall!
Stone
Although stone is not known for being so warm and cozy, it is a beautiful way to bring the outdoors in. I love a good natural stone, especially one with a lot of character.
This counter top is gorgeous! I love the personality in the beautifully coloured veins and detail.
Large windows
Bring the outdoors in! Literally. Big beautiful windows will bring in a flood of natural light that will trick your brain into feeling warm and cozy, even if its snowing and dull outside.
With views out into a beautiful garden in summer and a dreamy snowscape in winter, you can’t really complain. No one ever complains about too much natural light in their dream home!
