Research has proven that spending time in nature can benefit our health and well-being. So, while we need to commit to taking more walks to celebrate the beauty of the outdoors, one thing we can do to reconnect and bring nature back into our lives is included elements of it in our homes – the place where we spend the most of our time.
Biggie Best, SA’s iconic décor and furniture brand, suggest these simple design tips to bring the beauty of the outdoors home:
Tip 1
Refresh your space and brighten your mood by incorporating house plants into your interior. Did you know that exposing yourself to colour early in the morning can lift your spirits and have a positive effect on your mood for the rest of the day? Beautiful faux botanicals such as faux orchids, hydrangeas and proteas ― are the perfect solution for busy households, as they require little upkeep, maintenance and are also waterwise.
Tip 2
Natural fibres with different textures and designs, such as rattan and wicker, have been making a comeback in furniture and décor accessories and add texture and style to any space with ease. Rattan furniture is a popular choice because of its light weight and natural look and makes it the perfect solution for outdoor and patio chairs. Rattan baskets are both functional and beautiful and there is no easier way to declutter any room or living space than to add a versatile, lightweight handwoven basket.
Tip 3
Incorporating florals into your décor scheme is an easy way to celebrate nature. One of the simplest ways is to include florals into your bedroom is by updating your linen with a bold botanical duvet cover or pretty quilt. Upholstering a piece of furniture in your favourite floral pattern is also a great way to create a feature piece in the room. Use vibrant and colourful floral scatters and introduce framed prints of aspirational images with natural elements to celebrate the beauty of the natural world.
Tip 4
Natural wood furniture and accessories will help bring the outside in such as a pedestal, consoles, simple stools and mirrors.
Tip 5
Always choose sustainable materials when it comes to your linen, blankets and towels. Cotton is a pure, natural and breathable material and you will feel closer to nature using it – the planet will thank you too! It’s a time for renewed energy, restored hope and positivity so ensure that you create a refined and relaxing home that represents a clear connection with the world around you.
