Bring the Outdoors In
(ARA) - The relaxation of an evening outside is often forgotten as fall creeps in. Many of the items that made your backyard an oasis don’t have to hibernate for the winter. With a bit of creativity, you can enjoy that summer feeling all year long.
Add a little life
Plants not only bring color and texture to a room, they can actually improve air quality. Choose greenery that is easy to care for and fits the light and moisture levels already in the space. Choose ferns for low-light rooms like bathrooms that will thrive in the steamy setting. For a tropical feel in the kitchen, try a dwarf fruit tree. Many fruit trees, such as Meyer lemon or lime trees will produce fruit if kept in a sunny, warm location. Flowering plants like orchids, azaleas or the exotic bromeliad bring color and fragrance to any room throughout the year.
A babbling brook
Who says that you can’t enjoy a fountain in the fall? Bring the sound and beauty of water into your home during the winter months with a lightweight and low-splash decorative fountain. Beckett Garden Accents provide fountains and reflection pools to suit any style, whether you prefer a classical cistern style that harkens to the courtyards of Europe or a whimsical design with fairies and flowers. These lightweight resin fountains come in a variety of textures and colors to fit your décor and your personality.
Mix materials
Containers that can’t hold up in harsh weather conditions make versatile home accessories indoors. Kitchen utensils or office accessories can be nestled inside terra cotta planters, hand-painted pottery or colored glass cylinders. Wicker baskets lend a rustic touch and pull double duty as magazine holders or storage for toys. Look for interesting urns, pitchers or even wastebaskets with decorative patterns and complimentary colors to bring garden-inspired style in the home -- regardless of the season.
