Trending: Nature at Home
Feb 24th 2025 Staff
This trend is powerful to humans, it’s the fundamental need to bring nature into our homes. It’s not just an abundance of live house plants or exotic fish in a tank. It’s bringing the elements of nature indoors. This twenty-first century is growing heavy on humans. Our DNA, our roots, developed a world away from the stress and chaos we’re experiencing, when we evolved in nature and simplicity.
Home design magazines call it Biophilic, a love of nature humans have. As you arrange fresh flowers you trigger the brain into a relaxed state, easing stress and lowering blood pressure. Bringing fabrics, textured rugs and wallcoverings into your bedroom is not a coincidence, it’s calming. Choosing colors that reflect nature’s palette helps to create a tranquil environment that spills into every room in your home. And it’s why the colors of the year this year are direct descendants of nature.
We’re seeing real wood in any finish incorporating tables and other furniture, doors, woodwork, and cabinetry as it softens the all-white home into a more livable interior. Fibers in fabric, rugs and carpet, throws and pillows, weave together as we layer light to bring out their natural beauty. All of these elements become more vital to the human eye with light. We’re bringing more lighting crafted with natural materials for you to touch and study into our showroom and into your home. We’re creating lighting effects that wash gorgeous stone walls, handmade tile surfaces, and wood beams with gorgeous light.
A few more thoughts: The drama does not demand a high ceiling. We can help you find a statement light that uses the ceiling, or we can hang your light like art over a seating area or dining table. And be sure to remember the bulbs. The right look and color temperature makes the fixture looks it’s best, and, we always add a dimmer.
