colour palette
Earthy-tone colours often evoke a greater sense of serenity than traditional greens. To create the Signature Nature aesthetic, begin with a natural colour palette that conveys a sense of tranquility and contemporary comfort. Incorporate a colour scheme featuring shades of green, gray, beige, white, and black. Consider which aspect of nature you want to highlight - whether it's the tranquil forest, or the lush farmland - as this choice will significantly influence your palette.
Materials:
For a nature-inspired new build, use sustainable wood, natural stone, bamboo, rattan, clay, and terracotta. Add linen, cotton, wool, glass, and metal for balance. Incorporate plants, moss walls, and water features for a harmonious, organic feel.
Lighting:
For those seeking a harmonious connection with the outdoors, natural light is a key element in nature-inspired home design. Large windows and skylights create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. Sheer curtains or blinds offer a soft filter for sunlight while maintaining a sense of connection.
Furnishings:
Introduce pops of colour with carefully chosen accents to enhance the space. Incorporate soft textures like plush rugs, cozy blankets, and comfortable seating to create a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. By minimising clutter, you'll foster a sense of tranquillity that reflects the peaceful beauty of nature.
