Bring the Outdoors In: Fun and Simple Ways to Fill Your Home with Nature
Bringing the outdoors in isn't just pretty—it’s pure magic for your mood, health, and even your family’s energy. And don’t worry, you don’t need a greenhouse or a farm budget to make it happen. Here’s how to sprinkle a little (or a lot) of nature into your everyday spaces:
1. Plants Are Your New Best Friends
Plants aren’t just trendy—they’re tiny air-purifying superheroes. Pop a leafy friend in the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom… wherever! Even one little pothos or snake plant can make a space feel fresh and cozy.
Bonus: My personal favorite? Growing pothos in jars of water! It's ridiculously easy, plus I absolutely love seeing the roots twirling around through the glass. It's like a little window into the magic of nature, right on my kitchen counter.
2. Natural Fabrics Feel Like a Hug
Think cotton, linen, wool, and jute. Natural fabrics not only look gorgeous and feel amazing, but they also breathe better, last longer, and bring a calm, grounded vibe.
Swap out synthetic throws or polyester pillows for cozy cotton blankets, a chunky wool rug, or even linen curtains that dance in the breeze.
3. Decorations That Tell a Story
Want to make your home feel like you without spending a fortune? Bring the outside in—and bring your memories with it!
Collect shells at the beach and tuck them into a pretty bowl.
Pick up pinecones on a walk and pile them into a basket for a cozy woodland vibe.
Snip hydrangeas at the end of summer and make a simple wreath.
Display dried pussy willow or eucalyptus in a vase (no green thumb required!).
Buy art or handmade goodies during your travels to remember the adventures forever.
Every piece tells a story—and makes your home feel not just styled, but loved.
4. Let the Sunshine In (and Soak It Up!)
Good ol' sunlight is nature's original pick-me-up. Throw open those curtains, ditch the heavy drapes, and let your rooms soak it up.
Natural light boosts your vitamin D, lifts your mood, and makes everything look ten times more Pinterest-worthy.
Pro Mom Tip: Set up a cozy "sun spot" with a comfy chair, a plant or two, and a place for your morning meditation or a refreshing BEMER session. (Trust me, there's nothing better than soaking in some sunshine while giving your mind and body that extra boost!)
5. Keep It Fun and Simple
This isn’t about making your house a jungle (unless you want it to be—no judgment). It's about adding little touches that make you and your family feel more connected to the world outside.
Start with one plant. Or swap one synthetic thing for a natural one. Or plop a few pinecones into a bowl and call it festive.
Final Thought:
When you bring nature inside, you bring calm, beauty, and joy right along with it. And around here, we are always here for more joy.
