Natural Accessories, The Decorative Art of Life
The world is a living place full of growth and renewal, which surrounds us each and every day.
However it can be easy to forget about that.
Living in our perfectly molded plastic worlds, staring into screens, worrying about the minds of computers more than the living, the world can seem a very unnatural place.
One way to offset this is to bring the beauty of the real, natural world, into your modern environments, uniting the two in a unique symbiosis that will leave you feeling more connected to the world of life in your day to day activities.
One of the easiest ways to do this is with plants.
Whether its flowers placed in a decorative vase, or a small fern growing from an adobe pot, plants are living creatures, and as such can help to connect you to the natural world.
Their presence forces you to think about things like nourishment, cycles, and the essence of the primal world from which we were born.
Plants can be displayed in a variety of ways.
Some people choose to create elaborate floral patterns, having multiple plants trailing across a mantel, or splayed out along a window sill.
Others prefer one, single, large plant, which stands out in the room, creating an almost tropical backdrop to the proceedings.
Flowers are a great way to constantly change the look and feel of the home.
You can buy different flowers every few days, knowing that the look you're creating will only be temporary, and will be replaceable by whatever floral bouquet you choose next.
Relatively inexpensive, they are a good way to ensure that your home maintains a fresh and attractive look all throughout the year.
Natural materials are another choice for bringing the beauty of the real world into your home.
Stone pieces can simulate the look of a towering mountainside, while hardwood accessories and features can give the space the look of a quiet woodland scene.
However you choose to do it, populating your home with natural elements will help to connect you to the natural world.
In this way it will invigorate and excite your daily activities, in a way that mundane plastic molded accessories simply can't.
