Natural Elements

Do you enjoy the beauty of nature and are looking for a way to incorporate it into your home? Enjoy the natural vibes of the outdoors inside by decorating your space with organic-based materials. Different natural elements can be incorporated through texture, materials, and even color palettes. Incorporating outdoor elements is not limited to house plants. Below are different ways you can add natural elements to your interior décor.

Decorate your space using real wood for a warm and cozy feel. Furnish your home with assorted wooden pieces, like how the designer used wooden pallets to create a couch frame and coffee table in this space. There are more wooden accents throughout the space to tie it all together, and soft pillows and cushions add another level of comfort.

Allow natural light to invade your home's interior spaces, filling it with a spacious open-air feel. Swap out old window coverings for organic replacements like bamboo blinds, linen shades, cotton curtains, or silk drape to provide privacy when needed. Adding natural light to your home can make a huge difference and make your space feel more open and inviting.

Scatter green houseplants throughout your interior spaces to help purify the indoor air with natural filtering. Spider plants, aloe vera and English ivy are just a handful of houseplants that are well-suited for indoor climates. Furniture pieces like leather sofas and chairs covered with wool throws and cowhide area rugs bring organic materials inside.

Minimalistic Design

Monochromatic, simplicity and clean are a few words that homeowners think of when they hear the term minimalistic design. This design trend takes on the saying “less is more”. There is something serene and beautiful about minimalistic design, which, when done correctly can accent the architectural features of a space. Minimalism is a functional design trend that can open up your floor plan and add lots of light. Below are several examples of how you can incorporate minimalistic styles into different areas of your home.

Minimalistic design does not always have to be black and white and should include elements with smooth lines and simple furnishing. The palette should mostly be monochromatic, using color as an accent such as in this space, where the royal blue wall is the focus of the room.

Minimalism allows something other than the space to be the focus. For example, the view from the window in this space might be more important than the room’s decoration. It is important that every piece adds value to the overall design and functionality.

For the living room space, every piece of furniture should be purposeful. A comfortable couch to sit on, a table for drinks, industrial-style lights, and a side table for plants allow this space to feel full yet keep its minimalistic design. The monochromatic palette is complemented with blue throw pillows to make the space feel simple and cozy.

The challenge of minimalistic design is making it feel warm and welcoming. When using a monochromatic color palette, the atmosphere is created by combining different shades, tints and textures. The different textures in this space create a soothing and relaxed atmosphere.

Minimalistic design requires a great balance of functionality and simplicity. Is your space designed with a minimalistic approach?

Boho is Back

Like any great style that finds its way back, boho interior design elements are on trend again. Modern boho style is characterized by leather furniture, plants, vintage rugs, wood chairs and tables, eclectic accents, and more. Boho brings out the perfect summer vibes for your space. The beauty of boho design is that you can make it as bold or as muted as you want. Below are different examples of how you can incorporate boho design into your space.

A clean, fresh white room is always going to be a beautiful backdrop for textiles and patterned rugs. In the case of a bohemian bedroom, opt for a pure white, or a white with slightly warm undertones. The warm undertone will bring out the warmth from wooden accents and furniture and transform your bedroom into a peaceful retreat.

Ultimately, boho-chic decor is not about rules. It doesn’t matter what’s too modern or too traditional, too busy or too minimal. It should be about an unburdened, carefree attitude and plenty of personal expression. Display your hobbies, mementos, any decor elements you like, and the entire effect will add up to your take on boho style, which ultimately is the most bohemian statement of all.

If you are creating a boho chic home office, your furniture can be mid-century modern, contemporary, or just boho and eclectic. The desk is your centerpiece, and it should be stylish, comfortable, and matching to the space décor. Another important point is shelving. Open shelving won’t look too bulky and will accommodate everything you need, and some baskets for storage will keep your space boho.

Modern boho décor is not just for adults. Incorporate boho décor in your children’s play space for a chic and fun look. Something as simple as a teepee play tent with comfortable pillows and wooden accents can fit into your home’s boho aesthetic.

What makes boho décor so trendy is that you can incorporate a variety of textures, colors, and elements to make it your own. Not all boho spaces look the same, so get create and display your personality.

Beautiful Blues

Indigo and turquoise are two top interior design colors trending this summer season. Your love for blue does not have to stop at these two colors. Playing with different shades of blue in one space can provide a crisp and refreshing take on adding an accent color to your room. Why would you want to stick to one shade when you can have them all? Below are different examples of how you can use different shades of blue to add an accent color to your summer décor.

Adding a blue accent color is not limited to just the interior of your home. Spruce up your backyard patio with a bright blue patio dining set. You can easily recreate this dining set by adding blue dishes and cushions to your current outdoor patio set for a cool summer look.

In this bedroom, the designer played with different shades of blue and different textures. The blue abstract painting on the wall creates depth in the room while also tying in the blues from the throw blanket and ceramics on the end tables.

If you love your all-white kitchen and do not want to commit to making any major changes, consider adding colorful kitchenware. In this kitchen, the designer incorporated kitchenware items that are bright blue to draw the eye to the open shelving. Adding an accent color to your space does not have to be a major commitment.

You can make your accent color the focus of your room by layering different shades. In this space, the designer layered different shades of dark blue using a navy felt couch, solid throw blanket, and striped throw pillows. This gives the living room a rich layered look without being overwhelming.

Go outside of your comfort zone and try layering different shades of blue in your space for a calm and relaxing look.
