Creating an indoor oasis
AND WHY WE THINK YOU WILL LOVE IT TOO
Especially in recent times, during a global pandemic and forced to spend more time at home, we realise how important it is to have a house with plenty of natural light and access to nature. We miss going outside to our favourite spots, feeling the sun on our skin, the wind in our hair and hearing the birds.
Introducing natural materials and plants indoors, will enlighten your space. Keep walls light to bounce off the light and introduce light color curtains. Adding indoor plants can not only bring the feeling of nature inside but can also help clean the air. This has been confirmed by a study done by NASA in 1989.
