With plenty of earth elements—from a tall, leafy tree to a wooden coffee table—this living room feels connected to nature. The greenery stands out against the bare white walls and promotes stress relief while eliminating toxins from the air. And when we consider naturally occurring elements like woods and greenery, the same also goes for patterns that occur in nature, like the circular pattern and curves of the vases or spheres that top the coffee table. Adding natural elements creates a space that looks as good as it feels.
