Bring the Outdoors In
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.
