Open your doors and windows, dust off the cobwebs, and let the fresh air in – spring has finally arrived. There’s no better way to prepare for the warm weather than by establishing a sense of flow that connects your interiors to the outdoors. Using strategies like furniture and window placement, along with bringing in natural wood and stone furniture, you can boost your home design while harmonizing with the beauty of nature. Here are some of our favorite ways to invite the fresh breeze and warm sunshine into your home sanctuary.

Wood
From hardwood floors to dining tables, wood brings a sense of natural charm, warmth, and life to a space. From an architectural standpoint, the more wood flooring and furniture, the more your space will feel connected to the outdoors. Castlery is known for unique wood furniture pieces, which blend modern designs with the beauty of this natural material.

Natural Stone
There is an inherent luxury in natural stone that makes it endlessly popular. From granite countertops to a marble coffee table, incorporating stone brings a sense of timelessness and weight that grounds a space. As it is naturally occurring, stone features unique properties, like veining that make each piece of furniture one-of-a-kind.
Organic Shapes
Rather than harsh edges, echo the fluidity of botanical forms with furnishings and decor featuring organic shapes and curves. We love curved furniture because it is as practical as it is beautiful. It fits better in many spaces and doesn’t take up as much room as rectangular or square pieces.

Plants
As we move into spring and summer, now is the time to see what your green thumb can do. Houseplants not only add an immediate sense of refreshment and connectedness to nature, but they also purify the air in your home.
Textural Accents
Enhance the sense of harmony with the outdoors by weaving textural accents into your existing decor. If you live in a coastal location, this might look like rattan furniture and shell-detail chandeliers and mirrors. In a mountain cabin, on the other hand, you might layer in faux fur rugs, leather upholstery, and thick wool blankets. Base your textural accents on the environment outside and you’ll instantly inspire that sense of connectedness you’re hoping for.
Complementary Colors Indoors and Outdoors
Likewise, your color palette should mimic the natural colors outside. Nature gifts us with so many stunning shades – everything from earthy browns and leafy greens to sky blues and sun-kissed yellows. By mirroring the colors of nature in your home, you’ll foster a sense of continuity between your indoor and outdoor spaces.
Airy Window Treatments
Larger windows and glass doors are preferable when trying to create a sense of flow, but there are ways to maximize light even if you don’t have these built-in features. Some popular light and airy window treatments include linen curtains and bamboo shades. Both of these options offer a sense of privacy and glare reduction without blocking out the light. You can also place mirrors across from windows to amplify the light.
Movable Furniture
When the weather is nice, transform your patios or porches into an outdoor living room. While outdoor furniture can be left outside year-round, you can also bring your indoor furniture outside on special occasions. To create a cozy setup outside, consider moving some lightweight chairs and maybe even a table from inside to your outside space. Having versatile furniture and particularly, extra seating on hand will make spending time outside much more enjoyable.
