Bring the beauty of nature into the home
It's no secret that nature has the power to inspire, invigorate, restore and refresh. Research shows that nature can offer mental health benefits including decreasing stress and relieving anxiety. In fact, incorporating elements of nature into the home has been proven to improve happiness and wellbeing. Here are ways to invite the beauty and benefits of the outdoors into your home. Get in touch with nature According to the National Kitchen & Bath Association, 40% of people want a connection to nature in their kitchen. One way to achieve this is by choosing nature- inspired materials for focal areas like countertops, cabinets and kitchen islands. Wilsonart Home offers beautiful, ontrend options for virtually every surface in the home with performance features and price points to suit any lifestyle and budget. The collection includes environmentally sustainable materials such as High Pressure Laminates, seamless Solid Surface choices and nonporous engineered Quartz in designs that mimic the best of Mother Nature without impacting the environment. Calm with color Whether used as a room's canvas or a pop of color on an accent wall, paint is an easy and affordable way to evoke nature's beauty in the home. Dark blue hues reminiscent of water and the sky are trending, along with lush greens that infuse spaces with the fresh essence of grass and foliage, and nature's neutrals like tans and beiges that express earthiness.
Let textiles take you away Natural fabrics and fibers are a great way to keep things, well, natural. Add a jute rug or chunky knitted wool throw to your space. When picking a fabric/ fiber, make sure to choose earthy tones inspired by nature. The Wilsonart HPL Textiles collection is another unique way to incorporate textiles that connect indoor spaces with the great outdoors. It offers a line of woven, nubby and printed textile designs that can bring a touch of nature to any surface or corner of the home, from kitchens to closets.
Add warmth with wood looks
The look of wood is making a return to kitchens and baths but with a modern flair for a new generation. Think woodgrain looks showcased in flat front doors with minimalist hardware. The Wilsonart Traceless collection is an affordable way to update kitchen and bath cabinetry with sophisticated woodgrain designs available in panel door styles with matching edgeband. The collection also features fingerprint- resistant technology that eliminates smears, smudges and streaks.
