Her Haus: Incorporating the Outdoors In Your Home

There
are often a great number of trends we feel compelled to adopt regarding fashion or how we choose to decorate our homes. Much of the time the most advantageous method is to
disregard them altogether, focusing solely on what brings us the most joy.

As
a New Englander who loves the outdoors and water especially, cooler days
translate into less daylight and my time outside is limited. 

It is during these months I bring the outdoors inside.

A
long time devotee to wheatgrass I have always thought about purchasing a kit to
grow my own for its nutrient advantages but I have always loved the way that
small patch looks like a miniature indoor lawn.

I
did take my first stab at gardening this Summer and while my efforts did not
produce the bounty of flowers I wished for, the lawn was absolutely stunning. 

As writer and avid gardener Katherine White would say, “A home would not be a home…without a
lawn.” Having grown up in a suburban oasis, these words could not ring any
truer for me.

Materials like neutral stones, wood and terracotta can create an
illusion of the outdoors. 

I love long rustic tables that could work both
indoors covered in beautiful mismatched pottery or outside for an evening
Summer dinner party surrounded with twinkling lights and close friends.

Selecting
tile can be a bit tricky, I loved Yorkshire
Tile Company’s list of beneficial ways to select and incorporate them
cleverly.

When
floor space is a bit scarce and whereas having potted plants is not incredibly
original, bring in a beautiful miniature trellis complete with a flowering
climber. 

The vibrant colors will look and smell
magnificent while providing constant variance during its growth.

How
do you create an indoor alfresco atmosphere in your home?
