Decorating with nature in mind is a great way to add life and vitality to the home. Nature's natural warmth and beauty lend themselves perfectly to interior decorating. One great way to bring nature indoors is by adding a tree and leaf theme to your decor. Whether with paint or wall art metal, the walls can be enhanced with clever ideas. The ideas below offer easy ways to incorporate the feel of the forest into your everyday decorating.
Painted Wall Murals
Painting a wall mural on the walls of a room is the easiest way to transform its look and style. When painting trees, there are many different options to choose from. For a quiet, woodsy look consider painting a grove of young white birch trees. For a more mysterious look, a dark forest filled with old trees is more appropriate. Do not be afraid to paint the mural up onto the ceiling to create the feeling of an overhang. This will draw the eye up and around the room creating the illusion of elongated walls. Use colors that match the room's decor and opt for paint that has a low-odor base. Creating an environmentally friendly workspace will make the job much more enjoyable.
Vinyl Designs
One of the latest materials to make its way onto the interior decorating scene is vinyl. Home decor companies and independent artists are creating vinyl art that can be peeled off and placed on virtually any surface. When choosing a nature theme, go with a tree design that has character and flowing lines. It may be a vinyl piece depicting a small tree or a towering giant of a tree that fits the room perfectly. Remember that vinyl art can come in a wide range of colors, but most decorators choose simple black outlines as their color of choice. Black offers a more elegant look and can be paired with just about any decor.
Metal Art
Another option is to include metal wall art into the room's decor. Metal offers unique appeal, because of its natural element and design. Pieces shaped into leaf wall art are perfect for a cascading collage on the main wall. Metal trees or other wall hangings that evoke a feeling of earth and nature are ideal for accenting a room. Use metals with undertones that match the rest of the room. Warm colors would look best with bronze and copper, while cool colors would work better with silver and chrome. Also be sure that the metal art fits the size of the wall where it is being placed. A piece too big will overpower a wall, while a piece that is too small will look overwhelmed and out of place.
Choose the method of decorating that works best for your room. If the home is one that is being rented or leased and major painting renovations cannot be done, choose vinyl designs or metal art to complete the look. If nothing can be hammered into the walls, vinyl designs offer the best option. When bringing the beauty of nature indoors, make sure that the rest of the room reflects its tranquility and grace not only in the wall decorations, but also in the rest of the decor.
