Rooted in Nature

Jacob Evans • September 24, 2023

Integrating natural elements and patterns into new kitchens, baths and home renovation is hot among homeowners in Pittsburgh, PA.  Because so many homeowners are spending a lot more time in their homes due to hybrid work schedules, they want their homes to perform better.  A technique to improve performance is to bring into the home natural elements commonly found outdoors.  Bringing natural elements into the home creates a soothing and refreshing atmosphere that enhances health and wellbeing and can reduce stress. 

Increasingly homeowners in Pittsburgh, PA are gravitating toward integrating natural elements into their new kitchen designs and baths.  This can be as easy and cost-effective as placing more plants and herb gardens in the kitchen to bringing more natural light into the home.  Natural light from the sun is often complemented by LED solutions that have the capability to change color temperature and light intensity to replicate the effect of natural sunlight.  One of the primary benefits of bringing natural light into a kitchen or bath is that it can make the space feel larger and more open.

The right light helps homeowners in Pittsburgh, PA to relax. Almost 80% of U.S. homeowners in a recent survey stated that the ability to adjust lighting is one of the most important factors to creating the right mood in their homes. 

Use of wood and stone and other natural materials in a new kitchen and bath adds warmth, texture, and a sense of authenticity to the space.  Similarly, many homeowners in Pittsburgh, PA bring mother nature to their interior spaces by choosing an earthy color palate.  Popular natural colors include shades of green, beige, and muted blues. 

The dramatic increase in popularity of curved islands and countertops is another proven technique to bring natural elements indoors.  Curved lines and irregular patterns resemble the flow of natural elements and can bring a sense of harmony to a new kitchen or bath.

Sustainable materials and eco-friendly design are additional components that help to bring natural elements to a new kitchen or bath.  Our showroom offers the expertise to specify environmentally friendly and sustainable materials and design concepts.
