Turning your home into a naturific wonderland is much simpler than you think. And guess what? It can be done the midcentury modern way, which will better suit your décor style. Just think: Don Draper meets Seattle Tree Dweller.
1. The Seating
Stay true to your love of all things midcentury. Just stick to colors that naturally occur in nature—think: grays, blues, greens and browns (even yellows!) in different shades. A charcoal upholstered armchair will bring an understated cool factor to your favorite reading nook.

2. The Indoor Plants
Skip the terracotta pots (those just scream, Under the Tuscan Sun and you’re not Diane Lane, sorry!) and do up your walls with eco-friendly hanging planters. Stick to easy-care plants such as evergreens like ferns or drape-y succulents.

3. The Lighting
Your main light fixture is where you can go full on modern. Be daring and hang a statement pendant in your main room. This white-and-gold one looks like the coolest beehive I’ve ever seen and without the sting!

4. The Wall Coverings
Scared of wallpapering an entire room? Just do one accent wall with temporary wallpaper (you heard me, it’s temp-or-ary!). If you’re lucky enough to have a full-blown view of nature, good for you… but if you’re like the rest of us, tree printed walls are one major way to get back to nature.

5. The Table
Keeping fresh flowers or a terrarium on the table is my favorite way to warm up a living space. This artisan side table comes with a tiny sunken hole for your greens and is sure to be a talking point when your friends come over for cocktail hour.
