Nature inspired colors and prints have never been more popular in home décor. The shapes of the prints and the types of plants and other motifs used in these types of color schemes will change from year-to-year, but eventually, everything old, will be new again. Retro-inspired prints and even prints inspired by antique furniture and architecture will find their way into the items we put in our homes. Shades of green, brown, orange, pink and blue are all part of nature inspired color themes, though we may forego the cabbage rose printed drapes for curtains in solid colors or striped designs. One thing that will never go out of style is a modern area rug.
Green area rugs are a wonderful choice for carpeting in a nature inspired color theme. Green shaggy rugs, rugs with green backgrounds and nature inspired prints, such as flowers, trees, birds and even coral designs are always popular and will never go out of style. Even avocado and olive green tones popular in the 1970’s are still fashionable, if used correctly. You could take these shades and create a retro-inspired natural theme, or, you could take a grass green rug and use it to build upon and create a room with a natural feel. Shades of green that echo, even faintly, the color you chose for the rug will give a natural feeling to any room. Use green art pieces or knick-knacks and table runners that coordinate with leafy branch, falling leaf or bamboo patterns. Whichever natural elements you choose, are entirely up to you.
Shades of brown and gold also go nicely in nature inspired décor. Both these hues work well with a green rug and keep the room feeling like it has a three dimensional theme rather than a boring and monotone color scheme. Checks and plaids go well with nature inspired décor and look great on drapes and furniture. Abstract prints in natural colors add a fun element to any room, without using the obvious nature inspired prints. Abstract designs allow people to decide for themselves which natural theme is most suited to their interpretation of the print, giving a sophisticated element to the room.
Decorating a room with nature inspired colors can be a fun way to create a relaxing atmosphere. Shades of green, brown, pink and blue, among others, combine to create a space you want to spend plenty of time in every day. Whether you want a room to feel like a deep forest, a tropical retreat or your favorite dog park, natural colors will help you get the look and feel you want in your space. Layer the colors and prints you choose for optimum effect and then enjoy your space!
