Over the last two years most of us have spent more time in our Asheville area homes than perhaps ever before. So it’s vitally important we feel uplifted by our surroundings and create spaces with touches of nature that comfort and restore us, especially as more of us work from – and generally spend more time at – home.
Want an easy way to bring touches of nature into your home in 2022? Color! Think of including subtle shades of nature throughout your Asheville custom home. Use earth tones, select natural surfaces, and create warm, cozy spaces with natural accents and soft furniture. Items and surfaces made of natural materials such as slate, marble, terra cotta, crystals and wood reflect a connection to nature.
Another great – and obvious – way to bring nature indoors is with plants. Plants naturally filter air, making it cleaner, fresher and healthier to breathe. You might also consider adding flowers to your outdoor landscaping, or even a living roof or hydroponic indoor garden. Start small and experiment to find what works best for you in your home. Repurpose a vintage find; use curved furniture in soft shapes and in soothing warm tones, or nostalgic textures and sustainable fabrics and materials to incorporate nature inside your home.
A popular choice among those searching for Asheville custom home builders is to brighten their living spaces by letting in as much natural light as possible, which we love as it helps our custom home clients save on energy bills, and is excellent for serotonin levels and positive mental health.
Brock Builders can always advise you when making these types of selections for your custom built green Asheville or Hendersonville home. There are so many ways to add warmth and comfort to your home. It can be anything from adding a simple accent, a fresh coat of paint, or a cool vintage piece you find at an antique store.
Hopefully, these ideas have given you some options to add to your Asheville custom home. We’re always excited to talk about your ideas or projects so if you’re looking for more inspiration, reach out to us anytime!
