用一系列不断变化的季节性元素——花朵、花蕾、窄长的叶子、种子穗、果实、以及其它天然材料(从花园、农产品直销店、田野、树林和观景小路上收集而来并重新利用)来装饰住宅,把大自然带回家。
本书的插图仅展示一所房子,以便在实践中演示简单的技术和天然材料如何营造出一年中的各种氛围。Masureel向读者介绍了一种需要更留意的生活和装饰方式,展示了一种以“少即是多”的美学风格打造房屋的简便方法,以营造温暖,轻松和美丽的氛围。
Invite nature inside by decorating the home with an ever-changing seasonal array of interior design accents--flowers, buds, fronds, seed heads, fruits, and other natural materials--gathered and repurposed from the garden, farm stand, fields, woods, and nature trails.
Author Marie Masureel is an interior stylist and photographer whose passion is varying home decor with repurposed elements and found objects from nature, season by season. For autumn, she gathers fallen leaves, seasonal berries, and rose hips for flower arrangements and wreaths. To welcome spring, she turns to a garland made of newly formed fern fronds, while in summer, wildflowers, shells, driftwood, and other materials create an effortless bohemian beach look. Winter is embraced with the concept of hygge, using a neutral palette and candlelight for a feeling of coziness.
The book features illustrations that focus on only one house in order to demonstrate in practice how simple techniques and natural materials can create varied atmospheres throughout the year. Masureel shows the reader a more mindful way of living and decorating, revealing easy methods of styling the home following a less-is-more aesthetic to create an atmosphere that is warm, relaxing, and beautiful.
