Our hearts belong in nature. Ever since we have lived enclosed by four walls and a roof, bringing the outside inside has been an ambition that home decorators have strived for. Imbibing an ‘Earthy’ vibe in one’s house can be done in many ways. It can have modern and sleek design elements or can be rustic and bohemian or minimalist.
While any style can be used, the goal of creating a harmonious environment is the same. Bringing natural elements to our home décor creates warmth as well as freshness in the space.
To help you with recreating the earthy look with your unique personality, we have enlisted a few ideas to inspire you.
1. All the vases possible
One of the easiest methods to bring the natural vibe in is earthen pots and vases. They can be from local vendors and artisans to promote local businesses. The earthen vases bring instant warmth inside the space.
A rule of three with varying heights could be used to arrange them on the mantelpiece or a cabinet.
2. Neutrals are the way to go
The colours of the walls and furnishings set the mood for the space. Neutrals and earth tones give the space a natural aesthetic. From beige to terracotta, there are many options to choose from.
If painting your room is not in the cards, using art, cushions and furniture that boast natural colours can be the way to go!
3. Gold is found in nature
If an all-neutral look for the living room is not of your taste, balance glam and nature. Accents of bronze and gold with the earthen tones.

Rugs and carpets help ground the living room. Apart from providing a base colour scheme of the room, the tactility and texture give an extra element to the room. One layer over the other can be of contrasting schemes or be many monochrome rugs one over the other. Woven rugs are a good option for this.
5. Plants all around

While it can be said that nothing about concrete is natural, the colours and textures of concrete give the space a raw, unfiltered and natural feel. The aim of creating any living space must be imbibing a sense of home.
