Because not everyone can afford the luxury of having a garden or a terrace where to relax in the fresh air, there are practical solutions to bring a piece of nature in your home. Here are some ideas that need to be taken into account:
1. Artificial grass
You stay with your elbows resting on a table in the middle of the kitchen, between four walls, but you imagine you’re on the grass, enjoying a hearty breakfast? You can begin to realize your dream by dressing the kitchen chairs in pieces of carpet that mimics grass. You will certainly get a sensation similar to the one you feel when you’re lying on the ground in the sun and you will also avoid the risk of being stung by insects or get a rash.
2. Birch mosaic
Instead of the classic tile or paneling, choose a more unique way to give a natural fragrance to a room. Cover a wall with wood, but not in any way! You need a dry birch trunk and dry branches, slice them in 3/4 inch thick discs, polish them, then catch them with dowels on plywood. It will turn into a mosaic that can cover an entire wall of your living room or dining room.
3. Sky in the bedroom
In DIY stores you can find a wallpaper with fluorescent dots which mimic the starry sky. Or even sets of fluorescent stickers which in the white light of a LED lamp, will shine creating the impression that you are watching the sky, outdoors, when in fact, you are in your comfortable bed at home.
4. Fruit trees
An orange tree or a mandarin live very well in the house, especially during the cold season, so nothing prevents you to create in the living room a mini orchard with a few pots in which you planted fruit trees. Their scent will convince you, when you close your eyes and you breathe deeply, that you are in the garden rather than under the roof of the house.
5. Log supports
And if you want to feel the scent of wood and resin into your home, turn a few logs into candle holders that will decorate the living room table.
