Think Spring Decorate With Nature Picutres
Think Spring Decorate Green
Henry David Thoreau was one of the first Americans to recognize the importance of the outdoors for solitude and revitalization. His work Walden Pond in the mid-1800s was the genesis for the healing powers of Mother Nature. When we are incapable of retreating to the wilds to begin again, we are forced to seek alternatives within our techno centric 24/7 society. Along with all of the green alternatives you are implementing , try bringing images of the natural world or even images of idyllic pasts into your living space.
The placement of one or two images of butterflies in a sitting room has the power to remind you of beautiful Spring day. These beautiful pictures are extremely colorful and represent the transformation from the mundane to the beautiful. Patients encouraged to select the pictures and artwork in their rooms in some hospitals . Empowering patients to choose what art and pictures they surround themselves with may help the healing process.
Orchids, lilies, roses, and daisies also bring color into a living space and in a print they are perennially in bloom, pretty, delicate and represent life coming into fullness. Thes images will be like having flowers in bloom all year round hanging on your walls.
Lighthouses represent guiding lights bringing us to safe shores in stormy weather--security in a harsh world. They also represent man working with nature. Many people love being at the beach, and some may remember past vacations. Lighthosues can represent a beacon of calm.
Images of nature can take away the stresses of everyday life. Nature has a way of giving you a wonderous sense of peace and can help get rid of the images of everyday life. A home should be a place that can refresh and uplift you soul, somewhere you can recharge your batteries. What you hang on your walls does effect your mental state, and can relax and give you a sense of peace .Pictures of nature can help restore the real you, where you say - I am home! .
