Good Design that's not Sublime


Nature in a House
So why?

  • They are different from the "normal"
  • Save the tree, we lose so many trees during construction that you can actually build around them
  • The give off oxygen and help nature improve
  • They are eyecatchers, which is great for businesses

Sketch of how a tree produces better air quality in buildings

Having a tree in the house or above the house reduces air pollution and provides us with oxygen. While I was in Highpoint I noticed a tree with a building around it and then it got me thinking on how beneficial it is to have nature in general built into or around houses.

    Sydney, I also love the look of trees inside the home. It is a great way to improve the air quality of your home, and you save a tree! You're right: it is different than normal. It catches our eyes whenever we see it. Great design should do this. Great post!

    I am a sucker for natural furnishings! I love the look of furniture that has been barely messed with to make a beautiful piece. I had no idea that trees were good for the inside of the home. Makes me want to get a bonsai!

    The vibrance of nature is unmatchable. There is so many positives to adding nature to designs and that's part of the reason why I love trying to incorporate it into my designs. Plus building around trees as a center and focal point for rooms is such a great idea.

    I love incorporating exterior elements of nature into interior design. I believe it is very beneficial to have house plants or a tree in a house to provide more oxygen. Love these ideas!
