The “eco” trend has undoubtedly become a part of life these days. There are eco cars, eco packaging and eco materials. Works of fashion and the design of products are brought to realisation through “eco design”. The resulting products help to fuel the change in the lifestyle of the newer generation toward a more eco-friendly direction. For example, some people have turned to cycling as a substitute for driving while others have switched to using cloth bags instead of plastic bags. Making adjustments to one’s residence can also help with the environmental conservation effort. Plus Property presents 5 ideas for apartment decoration in the “modern natural” style; this style utilises little furniture and is easy for the owner to accomplish. These designs answer to your nature-loving side.
1. Small, Private Corner for a Highly “eco” Person
Give a boost to your rest sessions on days off by converting an ordinary corner in the room into a private eco corner. Bring in plants that grow well in the shade, or use flower vases. Gerbera daisies or spider plants will do the trick; place them near your favorite chair and prepare a book of your choice. Now you have made yourself a serene little corner for your rest sessions.
2. Use Minimal Furnishing and Preserve The Modern Natural Style Via A Floor Bed
Selecting a floor bed provides a decoration idea that mixes Japanese flair with minimalism. Without a bed, less can be more; all you need are a mattress, a comfy blanket, pillows and a bolster. With just these, “less is more” is accomplished and any risk of dropping out of a bed is done away with.
3. Go Really Eco with Cocoa Colour Tone.
There are many techniques for selecting the mood and tone of furniture, walls and other objects within an apartment. But if you are aiming for an eco style, choose cooler colour tones or “transparent” light tones – white, light blue, light green and mild yellow. These colours help the occupants of the room to feel relaxed and comfortable. Lighter tones also make a room brighter and helps bounce incoming light around the room during daytime, meaning that less power is needed for lighting.
4. Pick Cosy Materials and Enjoy Nature
Selecting natural materials will benefit the health of the occupants and will also bring touches of nature into the apartment. Scents, textures and patterns of wooden furniture, a wicker basket and a marble vase; the mild fragrance from a sofa cover made from natural fabrics – these natural materials will help the apartment occupants relax and feel cosy. Some furniture made from natural materials also have special attributes that help to make your home cooler.
5. Increase Green Space via A Tiny Garden at The Back Of The Room
Plants are essential for the highly eco, nature-loving person. These plants may be placed indoors or outdoors. Most importantly, light has to be able to reach these plants. There are many types of plants that can grow in relatively shaded areas and they are popular as apartment plants. Some of them are also good at keeping the air fresh. Be mindful, however, that plants release carbon dioxide at night and therefore any placement of plants near the bed or inside the bedroom warrant careful consideration of the plant type. Setting up a tiny garden in a back corner of a room can also add a chic factor to your apartment.
These are 5 easy ideas that can be adopted by anyone who is fond of nature. The Modern Natural Style of apartment decoration is a concept that can be easily applied to a room or a condominium unit. In addition to boosting the “eco” force within your apartment, some of the aforementioned ideas help save energy; you can easily contribute to making our world a more liveable place this way.
