0:14
eight ways to decorate your home using
0:17
natural elements on a budget
0:20
if you step into any Home Decor store or
0:24

0:27
seagrass baskets Raton furniture and
0:31
clay pottery it's everywhere everyone
0:34
wants to get their hands on some sort of
0:37
natural organic kind of piece of
0:40
material to put in their home and
0:42
display we want to bring the outside
0:45
indoors now part of this is because
0:48
we're all coming off of a time where
0:50
everybody was stuck indoors and they
0:51
realized how important it was to have
0:53
those natural elements and to be able to
0:55
get outside but also there's the
0:58
popularity of The Eclectic decor and
1:02
boho Decor that has always embraced
1:05
those natural elements being indoors so
1:08
it's kind of The Perfect Storm for there
1:10
to be a very high demand and there is a
1:14
lot available you just have to know
1:16
where to look if you're shopping on a
1:18
first try to Target smaller items like
1:22
grasses Moss dried flowers and branches
1:28
these types of plant material are an
1:30
easy way to infuse natural elements into
1:33
your home whether you want to put them
1:35
in a pot like a large potted floor plant
1:39
you can use them for your centerpieces
1:41
you can also use them to decorate
1:45
bookshelves and things like that it's
1:48
just a nice little dabble of things to
1:51
have in your home that you can find
1:53
really easily they're small they're not
1:56
particularly expensive but they add this
1:59
kind of boost of organic material in
2:02
regardless of what your interior design
2:04
style is greenery works for everyone you
2:09
can add mosses and grasses to the
2:12
bottoms of vases or bowls or you can use
2:15
them as jar filler for nice large
2:19
decorative jars larger branches and
2:23
sticks can be put in large floor vases
2:26
and used to add an element of height
2:29
whether it's in the corner of a room or
2:32
if you want to make a big dramatic
2:34
display of some large branches and put
2:37
them as a centerpiece in your dining
2:38
table or on your Island you can do that
2:41
another way to decorate with natural
2:43
materials is to Target some smaller area
2:47
rugs like a jute or a wool rug these are
2:50
great to add a nice neutral texture to
2:54
your space you can use them in your
2:57
doormats you can use them in runners in
2:59
your entryway or you can use them
3:02
outside on your patio they're a great
3:04
item to have and they're also affordable
3:07
when you buy them in the smaller sizes
3:09
swapping out some of your baskets that
3:12
may be plastic or cloth for ones that
3:15
are Rattan or seagrass is a great way to
3:18
infuse natural materials into your home
3:20
while also providing an essential
3:23
function to store items whether it's
3:26
toys or pillows or Linens
3:29
let those baskets do double duty let
3:33
them contain the things that you need to
3:34
contain but also add that nice textural
3:38
element into your space try adding small
3:42
accent Furniture to infuse some bamboo
3:46
or Rattan into a room you can have a
3:50
little side table that's made from
3:52
bamboo or even an accent chair that's
3:54
made from bamboo this is a great way to
3:58
do it on a budget without having to redo
4:01
your whole home or commit to a new
4:03
design style you can just have one or
4:06
two pieces that complement the items
4:08
that you already have in a room but also
4:11
bring in those natural textures that you
4:13
want if you like that Luxe look like
4:16
you've seen some of those continuous
4:19
Marble Slab islands that are so pretty
4:22
or continuous backsplashes where your
4:25
countertop just goes into your
4:27
backsplash and goes all the way up your
4:28
wall and it's all all Marvel or it's all
4:31
quartz if you like that kind of Luxe
4:34
look but you don't have the money to
4:36
redo your whole kitchen consider getting
4:38
something that's like a marble table top
4:41
like a kitchen cart or a coffee table or
4:46
a side table that just has a marble top
4:49
and maybe a metal base or a wood base
4:52
this is the more affordable way to go
4:54
about infusing some of those nice Stone
4:57
pieces into your home you can of course
5:00
also go for smaller decorative accents
5:03
statues decorative objects that are made
5:06
from Marble or stone as well
5:09
large concrete bowls that you can use as
5:12
centerpieces are super popular right now
5:15
you can find them on Amazon and you can
5:17
also find them on Etsy from someone
5:19
who's handcrafted them another way to
5:22
decorate on a budget with natural
5:24
elements is to look for lampshades or
5:27
chandeliers that are made from natural
5:30
elements these are also really popular
5:33
right now and you can find them just
5:35
about anywhere woven pendant lights and
5:38
chandeliers are popular but also if you
5:42
want a new style that you don't see a
5:44
lot of people doing consider the capisce
5:47
shell chandeliers they're really pretty
5:50
they add a little bit of Glam but
5:52
they're also just this natural element
5:54
that you will have hanging from your
5:56
ceiling and it makes a really nice
5:58
showpiece you can find them at Overstock
6:01
at Wayfair on Amazon just about anywhere
6:04
you can find these if you search for
6:06
them and the prices on them are really
6:08
great if you'd like to Target larger
6:11
items like a dining table or a bookcase
6:16
or something more substantial try to
6:20
look for it second hand that's a great
6:22
way to save money if you're not into
6:24
hopping from thrift shop to Thrift Shop
6:26
or consignment shop check out the open
6:30
box sales that you can find online
6:32
Amazon has them Wayfair has them Lamps
6:37
just check out places that have open box
6:40
sales and you may get 30 or 40 off on
6:44
that item that someone else has returned
6:46
and the last way to decorate with
6:48
natural elements on a budget is to go
6:51
for a tabletop statement piece instead
6:55
of a statement piece of furniture like I
6:59
said I love those gorgeous Live Edge
7:02
dining tables and coffee tables they're
7:05
stunning but they are very very
7:08
expensive and I can't afford it instead
7:12
I am more likely to go for a tabletop
7:16
centerpiece that is made of a gorgeous
7:19
natural Driftwood like a Driftwood bowl
7:23
or something like that that is still
7:26
going to make a big statement but is
7:29
Affordable and it's something that I can
7:31
do on a tight budget that's it for this
7:34
