Natural Design Part Two

Last Updated On

There is a typical point in the design process where your angst begins to overly influence things. The open questions continue to outnumber the answers. Previously in this space, we discussed a potential solution. That is to consider Natural Design Part Two.

Natural Cycles – The inevitable structure of Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter give us a natural cadence to work with. Why not brighten things up in the Spring and warm up a space in the Winter? Simple enough right? After all some design websites says that, “the beauty of the natural world is all around us, just waiting to inspire your home decor—you just need to stop for a moment, taking it all in and then replicating it within your home”.

Details Matter – In particular, note that every small item in nature has a purpose. So too should every element in a design plan have one!

Change – Freshome tells us, “nature is never constant–everything is growing and changing”. Be prepared to do the same from a design standpoint.

Obstacles – Again from interior design articles  “just as a tree root grows around boulders to get to a water source, we need to work around our homes obstacles”. For example, don’t let a strangely configured legacy floor plan inhibit your creativity in a re-model. Roll with it and see what might happen!

Be Diverse – Nature is bio-diverse in form, color and texture to name just a few. Take a cue from that approach in any space and do not be afraid to layer.

Stone, for example, is a great example of nature “in action”. Make it your friend in the design process. Thanks for reading. To find our nearest location to you, check out our closest tile showrooms.
