The more nature one can bring to outdoor living creates the appeal. Potted plants on a terrace or balcony can create the connection; the green and neutral palet te is invigorating. Natural materials in furnishings such as metal, ceramic or wood also create a great symbiotic relationship in the space. Pops of color are a palpable element of design for which nature is famous. T he energy we obtain from colorful potted f lorals is evident under this lovely pergola. So much inspiration in design is pulled from nature, it’s not a surprise that we are magnetized to the outdoors and nature. As hum an s , we are c reat ures of the wild; why sho uldn’t we want to live our civilized lives being a par t of it?
