HOW DO YOU BRING THE OUTDOORS IN?

With summer approaching, being outside is more on our minds. But having that outdoor feeling doesn’t just have to be for the warmer months, with careful planning you can create a seamless transition from outdoors to in.

To give you some inspiration, here are Mustard House Design’s top 5 ways to achieve this.

Maximise natural light and views

If you are blessed with panoramic vistas, or views of your garden, from your home, make full use of this with large windows and glass doors. Ensure that your window treatments allows as much light in as possible and also maximises your view. Skylights will also help with an abundance of daylight while providing a connection to the outdoor environment.

Invest in indoor plants

Plants are an excellent way to infuse greenery and freshness into interior spaces. There are plenty of plants that thrive indoors, some even prefer low light levels so are ideally suited for that corner at the back of the room.

Incorporate natural materials

Natural materials emphasise our innate connection with nature. Using materials like natural wood, bamboo, or stone, you’ll create a soothing and organic atmosphere.

Use nature-inspired colours

When decorating consider using colours naturally found in nature, such as shades of green, earthy browns, or calming blues to help evoke a sense of the outdoors. These colours can be applied to walls, furniture, accessories, or even artwork to create a harmonious environment.

Green Walls and Vertical Gardens

Take over a wall and install a vertical garden to bring a lush, living element to your interior space. They can transform a wall into a vibrant focal point, infusing the room with a sense of nature and providing a breath of fresh air. By incorporating some of these ideas you’ll be doing more than just bringing the outdoors in, you’ll be creating a welcoming indoor environment that blurs the boundaries between the inside and outside, helping to foster a connection with nature.
