If you are clueless about how you want your space to turn out or you are generally in search of inspiration, well I’m just going to say this, I’m happy to have you.
Design style is the look a place or piece of art has that makes it stand out. Truth is, once it comes to art and designs, you’d always need inspiration to get it right. Inspirations are always around you at all times, you don’t need any special trick or skill for this. It’s no rocket science really, the only thing that fuels art or imaginations is inspirations and this is best gotten from our natural environment, it’s just like learning from mother nature.
Our natural environment is already blessed with colors, patterns, fragrances, shapes, styles, textures, and any other concept you want to introduce to your space. Learning from nature for your design means incorporating all those elements in the environment into your space, it’s more like bringing the natural world in. The best designs are often those ones that are related to our existing environment because we can easily relate to them. The nature is an endless source of inspiration and ideas that one can always explore.
Nature as source of ideas
Highlands
The highlands are always very beautiful that people take time out to go hiking, camping or mountain climbing just to feel closer to this natural body. The best views of these are the sun setting behind a peak or when the whole humongous body is covered in snow.
This can be the best option for those who likes height. You can create your interior to look like your favorite part of the mountain or you can add some objects, shapes or martials that makes your space have the feel of the mountain.
Forest
The forest comprises of trees, shrubs and sometimes, water bodies like streams, fountains or ponds.
Recreating a forest in your space creates a calm and peaceful environment. No wonder the forest sounds passes as white noise for those who have difficulty in sleeping. The forest is just the place to look for ideas.
The oceans
Who else loves water? The beach has always been the place for people to wind down when stressed out. The beach is always crowded by people who are on vacation. You don’t necessarily need to live close to the ocean to enjoy the benefits of this ambient environment hence you can easily bring the ocean to your home for all its benefits.
Island;
everyone raves about the small archipelago country Malvid which is located at the north-central Indian ocean The view is always different from the world you always known. The blue water body, the flowers, the palms and nocturnal view, the reflection of the sun on the water in the day and the moon and the stars at night. Imagine having to sleep and wake in a space that connects you to your favorite place to be at on earth.
The celestial bodies
For our science students that are always intrigued about the space in general, you can make your favorite place in your home to be that cusp between the world you know and the one you’re always curious about.
Recreating the natural environment generally provides lots of benefits for both mental and physical wellbeing like;
Reducing stress: with your space looking like the sea, it already has the same calming effect as the natural environment. This can help reduce stress levels and promotes relaxation.
Enhancing creativity: having a natural view in your space can inspire ideas from your imagination. It stimulates creative thinking.
Improving your mood: the serenity from our natural environment can have positive effect on your mood and mental and mental health like alleviating symptoms of anxiety and depression and promote feelings of happiness and well-being.
Provides a visual escape: you don’t need to go mountain climbing or travel to Hawaii to sit next to the beach every single day after the stress from a hectic day. Bringing the outside inside can create a peaceful and calming environment that can help you feel more relaxed
Enhances focus and concentration: the view you recreate can help you with a distraction-free environment that allows you to concentrate on your work or studies much more effectively.
Helps with sleep and relaxation: the natural environment like the ocean or forest can promote better sleep.
Creates a sense of connection to nature: recreating the natural environment in your space creates a sense of connection to the nature even if you live far from that environment.
Ways to incorporate natural element into your interior design:
Stone for organic and rustic feel in places like tiles, accent walls, fireplace etc.
Wood for texture, pattern and warmth via furniture.
Plants for color, texture and freshness to your space.
Water for calm and tranquility by creating fountain or aquarium.
Natural textiles like cotton, fiber in places like throw pillow, center rugs or curtains.
Natural items like shells, corks, gems.
Natural light through large windows, skylights, cotton curtains for an airy and bright feel.
Remember to opt for element that reflect your personal style and aids you to create the world you love around you.
I for one will go for the forest or the island feel. What part of nature inspires you? I’m sure you got a spark at some point, please do share with the rest of thee PURITES. Also tell us other spots or part of nature that serves as inspiration to you.

Great piece of a perfect home decor

I am personally a fan of switching up my interior design if it won’t empty my bank account (lol). I’m loving the island look too. It’s relaxing and in my opinion won’t get old. A little green or blue here and there and I’m good.
Great to hear that you enjoy changing up your interior design without breaking the bank! A professional interior designer and decorator like myself can always fix that for you. The island interior look is definitely a great choice if you’re looking for a relaxed and timeless vibe. Thats why it’s one of my favorites. Adding a touch of green or blue as mother nature had done, can certainly bring in some refreshing and calming elements to your space. It’s all about finding what works best for you and your personal style. Have fun with your decorating!
