Bedroom
- The bedroom is a great place to use nature-inspired decor. Sheets and bed coverings printed with floral motifs are a longtime favorite among decorators. Prints can be gentle and romantic or more contemporary with up-to-the-minute colors and patterns.
- Wood bed frames and blinds also work well to reinforce a nature-inspired theme. The warm tones and natural grains complement and enhance prints and textures.
- Adding a rug made of sisal or wool will complete the natural inspiration in the room.
- A vase of dried flowers on a bedside table or a botanical wreath hung on the wall will allow the enjoyment of the garden throughout the year.

Bathroom
- One simple way to bring a natural feel to the bathroom is to select towels in shades of willow and taupe. To further build on this theme, choose towel holders with leaves or vines.
- Other ways to bring the feel of the outdoors into the bathroom include hanging a nature-motif shower curtain or incorporating natural wicker accessories, such as a wastebasket, tissue box or storage units.
- Keepsakes from a summer beach vacation make great accents in the bathroom. Fill glass canisters with shells, sand and starfish to remind you of a summer getaway.
- Add aromatherapy soaps and candles in scents such as grapefruit and geranium to a guest bathroom. The scent is sure to impress friends and family.

Great Room
- This is a wonderful place to utilize the beauty of nature and bring a feeling of tranquility. Decorative rugs with a botanical pattern or a sisal rug made of natural fibers are simple and affordable options for adding a natural feel to a great room or family room.
- Slipcovers are a great way to change the look while extending the life of a sofa. Natural shades such as moss and driftwood coordinate well with existing pieces in a room while reinforcing the natural beauty of the decor.
- Throw blankets are functional accessories, especially in cooler climates. A cotton fisherman knit throw adds an all-natural look when draped over a sofa or chair. Throws can add texture as well as pattern to a solid colored piece of furniture.
- Pressed paper shades on wood base lamps provide the essential form and function in a room where natural inspirations are prevalent.

Dining Room
- Table linens in shades captured from nature offer a look and feel of simplicity in the dining room. Add napkin rings with acorns and leaves to complete the look.
- Natural arrangements in the center of the table will reinforce and accent neutral-colored table linens. Still life arrangements of fruits and nuts or berries and twigs can be rotated for different occasions.
Fortunately, the nature-inspired look partners well with most any environment and decorating style, from contemporary to country. Using personal preferences and a combination of the above tips, your new nature-inspired decor will look inviting and will allow the natural beauty of the outdoors to be enjoyed all year long.
