Trends for 2019: 5 natural decorating ideas for your living room!
This year, going green is all the rage. It’s evident in the way we consume: we want organic, local, natural. In our habits, we’re returning to slow consumption, taking the time to do and be. We want this to be reflected in our interiors too, with increasingly natural decorations. To inspire you, here are the 5 most popular natural decorating ideas for this year.
Dried flowers
Dried flower bouquets are back in style this year. Once synonymous with the dust that accumulated at grandma’s house and the smell of rotting pots, today’s dried flowers, in their natural colors, bring a bohemian ambience to the room, transporting us to the middle of the countryside. And we love it!
- What’s more, they can be combined with any decorating style;
- indu’s
- Scandinavian
- design
- contemporary
- country
From a small bouquet on a coffee table to dried foliage in a corner of the room, dried flowers transport our living room to the countryside.
You can create your own bouquets while strolling through the countryside. But if you’re in a hurry to get your hands on one, you’ll find them in florists, decorating boutiques and even online stores.
The electric fireplace
A decorating favorite that’s coming into its own this year: the electric fireplace.
With a real desire to return to nature, the element of fire, symbol of radiance and optimism, now invites itself into our living room.
Fireplaces are back in fashion. Highly sought-after and highly-rated, they help drive up the price of renting or buying an apartment.
Today’s designers are well aware that not everyone can afford a fireplace. What’s more, we like the idea of Santa Claus passing through a traditional fireplace, but the upkeep, the sweeping, the fire, the wood, the ashes – what a chore!
An exceptional solution: the electric fireplace.
It’s the perfect addition to any living room. And for our minds, it invites relaxation and contemplation.
There are several types to suit different living-room configurations:
- easy-to-install electric fireplaces
- wall-mounted electric fireplaces that are a veritable work of art once installed
- built-in electric fireplaces for elegant wall decoration
- mobile electric fireplaces that are truly small nomads.
A vertical garden
The vertical garden is becoming increasingly popular. We’ve been hearing about mini-gardens for some time now. Easy to set up, they keep thyme, rosemary, basil and mint close at hand for simple, tasty cooking.
We’re now seeing the emergence of the vertical garden, bringing a 100% green touch to our living rooms.
It’s a veritable tableau of plants that invites itself into our homes. With a simple glance, it plunges us into a luxuriant nature that invites us to daydream.
The advantage is that it can be integrated into any space. In fact, it doesn’t take up much space. So it’s perfect for a small living room.
If you’re a DIY enthusiast, you can create your own, using pallet wood or recycled plastic bottles, for example. You’ll find a number of excellent tutorials on the Internet.
If you’re not the DIY type, you can find your own plant garden at specialist florists.
Botanical paintings
Representing green leaves, pretty colored flowers or trees in black and white, the botanical picture is a beautiful novelty. It’s a natural wall decoration, inspired by the small beauties of the world and reminding us that life is beautiful.
In a living room, for example, you can create a patchwork of paintings on a single wall. Vary the sizes and shapes of the frames. However, make sure you use the same color or shade of frame, otherwise you risk turning your wall into a Christmas tree.
Generally made in neutral tones, botanical paintings are perfect for all types of decor and have the advantage of being inexpensive. They’re easy to find on the Internet or in decorating stores.
Natural wallpaper
Wallpaper is making a comeback. But not just any wallpaper. Nature wallpaper has been invited into our living room. Herbarium or tropical wallpaper, foliage or jungle wallpaper, it’s a veritable life-size garden that’s invited into our relaxation area. It invites us to come with it to the forest, the mountains or the seaside. And giving free rein to our imagination, we join him in a gentle reverie or a lovely meditation.
New or reborn, it doesn’t matter – we want green, natural and authentic in our interiors. Whether it’s electric fireplaces, with their gentle flames, or plant gardens, with their vertical plants, we want objects that make sense and that make us slow down our lives to contemplate them.
