Drawing Inspiration from the Outdoors

A home that tries to keep the outdoors at bay is only fooling you, because nature will always find its way in. New-natural aesthetic brings this adage to life with vibrant interiors and biophilic design influence to reflect the majestic outdoors.

A home that tries to keep the outdoors at bay is only fooling you, because nature will always find its way in. New-natural aesthetic brings this adage to life with vibrant interiors and biophilic design influence to reflect the majestic outdoors.

A new nature design style harnesses a few signature natural elements to give an organic feel to the space. Reclaimed wood is a common component, which can be fashioned into functional pieces like live-edge mantels and shelving or driftwood sculptures standing on their own as focal points in a room.

This living room shows natural elements like plants, reed room divider, and wicker furniture to bring the outdoors in.

Complement rich wood pieces with greenery and as much natural light as possible. Biophilic design elements like indoor vertical gardens are instant conversation pieces that live beautifully amongst dark reclaimed woods, and your entire design will pop against a darker palette of browns and sable, whites and grays, and other colors taken straight from nature’s paintbrush.

This open living room with study nook makes use of vertically lined greenery mixed with geometric patterns for a great balance, featuring Rocky Hill Hickory waterproof wood-look flooring.

This is also a design well suited to large statement pieces of rock that feature raw edges. Long low benches of grey slate in a dining area, or countertops in veiny, streaky marble can be paired beautifully with earth-toned flooring, like AquaSeal Toffee engineered bamboo floors.

This bathroom is sure to bring the outdoors in with a biophilic assortment of houseplants, and AquaSeal Toffee water resistant bamboo flooring.

Take inspiration from your immediate surroundings. Find a local woodworker to turn a custom piece with local lumber. Devote your space to the things nature has already made, and a natural design flows freely from there.
