Inviting the Shades of Nature in my House

I have been in love with nature since childhood. I am always on the lookout for rare plants that I can bring home, whenever I go out. I try to add every stem of nature in my house and workplace. For a while, it was satisfying to see so much greenery in my garden. However, one day a random thought struck my mind and ever since then, I have been pondering over it. Besides the flourishing and expansive garden I have, in what other ways could I possibly invite the shades of nature inside my home? Then a friend recommended brown!

Brown being another equally popular natural shade seemed like the perfect choice to me. Even better was that I had no trace of brown inside the house like – curtains, cushions or linens etc. leaving me with the option to explore further.

When thinking brown, wood laminate in the shades of bamboo can be an aesthetic and pleasing option for the kitchen countertops. It does not look dull or boring. The countertops can be matched with hardwood floorings and moldings for an exciting look. They are quite functional, durable and are extremely hygienic. Textured laminate is another variety of wood laminate that can be used. It has great textured look and appeal that feels like silk. One can get to experience a range of sensations from silk to gloss to wool. Can it get any better than this? A wide range of textures would come alive with wood laminates. It is a visual treat to watch such immaculately designed interiors. The texture of the house becomes so vibrant and rich that you will be totally mesmerized.

In the kitchen, you can also try the super gloss variety of textured laminates. It gives a distinct and shiny aura that enhances the levels of productivity. One can also install textured anti-bacterial laminate countertops. It helps in keeping the kitchen neat and hygienic too. They can be incorporated anywhere, you do not have to just stick to the kitchens. Bedrooms can be a great place where you can use them. The touch of silk would add smoothness in your bedroom. The living room can be brightened with textured and decorative laminate. A wide range of solid and abstract shades are available to choose from. These are quite long lasting, durable and easy to install. If indulged in regular cleaning and maintenance then these countertops and laminates can last longer.

Finally, I was done with the installation of Decorative laminate, Wood laminate and Textured laminate in different parts of my house. Now one may think my proximity to nature is only in terms of colour. But you will be exhilarated to know that all these laminates are available in eco friendly variety, certified to be keeping the surrounding air clean and toxin free!!! I am super happy with the outcome and looking at my living room, bedroom and kitchen is now a source of immense pleasure for me.
