It’s lovely to go outside into your garden in summer and breathe the fresh air, while also seeing the beauty and delight of nature itself. These sensory experiences don’t need to remain outdoors, though. Bringing elements of your garden inside will help you enjoy more of a seamless flow between your outdoor and indoor living spaces.
It’s easy to think of these areas as distinct, but they don’t have to be separate domains but if you do it right, they can be extensions of each other. As such, your interior space can reflect and complement the natural beauty that surrounds your property. This connection brings a sense of calm and continuity that feels grounding for your interior decors too.
Integrating Your Garden into Your Home Decor: Practical Tips
You might be wondering how to blur these boundaries in your own home without a major renovation, and in this post, we’ll be happy to help with that:
Frame Nature’s Artwork
Views of your garden deserve to be celebrated and highlightedm especially if you’ve put the hard work into caring for it. Moreover, your garden changes throughout the seasons, which gives us a living painting that transforms with time.
For that reason, positioning furniture to face your garden views rather than televisions or blank walls could completely shift how you experience your living space. This simple rearrangement costs nothing yet really does improve the feel of a room. That corner chair might become your new favorite reading spot when it suddenly faces a blooming bush instead of the wall.
Replacement home windows can be wonderful here too, especially with how you experience your garden from indoors. Older windows with divided panes or cloudy glass obscure the view and disconnect you from your outdoor space, but hte newer models with minimal framing and clear, energy-efficient glass will help to, creating the illusion that your garden extends right into your living room.
Implement Your Transitional Spaces
If you have a porch area, conservatory or just inner space that can work as bridges between indoors and outdoors, it’ll help blur the boundaries in the most delightful way.
For example, the aforementioned covered porches, sunrooms, and garden rooms will be nice for extending a living space while also making it feel more natural and wilder, even. For instance, flooring choices, such as using the same materials for indoor and outdoor spaces may help you extend out into a deck with large French doors that welcome people in. Moreover, stone, tile, or composite decking that flows from inside to outside will help you blur the line a touch, especially in the warmer weather.
Echo Garden Elements Inside
Bringing physical elements from your garden into your home can help you design an indoor green space but in a more manageable way. So in this case, living plants indoors can be great, especially if merged with hHouseplants that complement your garden selections to bring the same sense of life and growth inside. You might even bring potted specimens from your garden indoors temporarily to enjoy them up close during nicer weather or to showcase something lovely if you’re hosting guests.
With this advice, you’re sure to welcome your wonderful garden into your home and do so by blurring the lines between both areas.
