Eco-Style Elements in Your Home

Nothing could be simpler or more accessible – we're talking about corn plastic or using branches, logs, and wood cuts as interior decorations. After a stuffy office lined with plastic, fake fresh air from the air conditioner, and sunlight from a bulb, all you need to do is lean back in your chair and close your eyes. Instantly, your imagination will vividly paint a memory of last year's beach vacation or a trip to grandma's village.

And from the corners of memory, the scent of fresh grass, the gentle breath of a breeze, and the smell of freshly cut wood come to mind. This is exactly the element we would like to offer you for decorating your home or apartment.

This is what beauty looks like made from a cut cherry branch.

Originally intended as a flower stand, but once we acquired a parakeet with an 'angelic' personality, only those flowers that he didn’t peck at could coexist with him.

The process of making such a stand is simple enough for everyone to do. First, clean the surface with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Then sand it several times – and voilà! – your surface is ready for varnish, stain, or paint (if necessary). Apply the varnish so that the surface becomes completely smooth. Then enjoy the beauty.

But this is not all the ideas where wood can be used.

If you cut small branches from a thick and long branch, process them, and paint them in the color of your walls, wallpaper, or curtains, you can create an original window sill in eco-style.

The color of the 'window sill' should be chosen so that it contrasts with the main color of the room. Such a natural element in interior design will be fitting not only in a countryside cottage but also in an apartment, bringing energy from nature into your home.

Even a simple wooden shelf for books or accessories will look more harmonious and lighter than metal or plastic ones. The barely noticeable scent of wood will bring peace, a sense of warmth, and fill you with new energy.

Or simply use a wooden branch, decorated with artificial flowers, to adorn a free wall in the room. And here you have the Tree of Life, the Tree of Knowledge, a visual aid for children, and a piece of living nature in your home.

And if we're talking about wood (or at least part of it), it's worth remembering the mythological symbolism: roots – our ancestors, past; trunk and branches – continuation of the family line. Why not try to create a 'family tree' in your home?

Even if miniaturized, it will be interesting, educational for you and your children!

By placing family portraits on the branches, you can simply and clearly explain to your child the degree of kinship and show how generations are connected in your family.

Nature gives us many ideas to explore. Show children annual rings, let them breathe the subtle and gentle scent of nature, teach them to love it and care for it – and you will grow into a beautiful, harmonious person.
