Here are some ideas to help you get started.
- Add a touch of hygee to your space for a soft and natural home style
Bringing elements of nature into a living room can have a calming effect and create a cozy, inviting atmosphere that promotes relaxation and well-being.

2. Use neutral colours in your hallway to create a ‘natural’ flow to your other rooms
Neutral hallways provide a clean and calming canvas for natural elements to stand out. This allows for the use of natural materials, plants, and other nature-inspired decor to shine and create a cohesive flow throughout the home.

Sage green kitchen cupboards are a great way to bring nature into the home as green is associated with nature and the outdoors. This soft shade of green adds a subtle and calming touch of nature to the heart of the home, creating a relaxing and inviting atmosphere.

5. Where possible, use natural light to come into your home
Natural light is an essential element in bringing nature into the home as it illuminates natural materials and colours, creating a connection to the outdoors. It also has a positive impact on our mood and wellbeing, allowing us to feel energized and refreshed in our living spaces.

Adding extra windows such as a skylight, or increasing the height and width of your existing windows is a great way to make sure your room gets plenty of daylight. We love this dining space that cleverly uses mirrors to enhance the light in the space even more!
6. For a natural and organic look to your home opt for wooden furnishings
Wooden furniture is a great way to bring nature into the home as it provides a natural and organic element that adds warmth and texture to any space. Additionally, it can be crafted in a variety of finishes and styles to suit any decor, from modern to rustic.

Furthermore, adding flowers and textiles to the space warms up the white interiors beautifully.
9. Bring the outdoors in with open-plan living for more natural light and a flow of design
An open-plan layout is a great way to bring nature into the home as it creates a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. By removing walls and barriers, natural light can flood the home and create a connection to the outdoors, while also allowing for the use of natural materials and elements throughout the entire living area.

Light-coloured bathrooms are a great way to bring nature into the home as they provide a clean and calming backdrop that allows natural elements, like plants and natural materials, to stand out.
