Back to Nature - Styles 2018 | PGH Bricks & Pavers

Exterior home design inspiration — Back To Nature

Drawing inspiration from nature, botanical elements, wood, stone and earth, it is a trend that effortlessly brings warmth and low-key cool to an organic yet modern home.

Inspired by nature, its earthy palette scheme embraces the environment around it making it ideal for light-filled indoor and outdoor living.

“It is popular for its warm and welcoming attributes making it ideal for everyone, including families,” agrees Sonia Simpfendorfer, Creative Director at Nexus Designs. “Its colours are authentic and inspired by the landscape and nature, and its earthy simplicity is a wonderful way to bring the outdoors inside.”

Natural palettes of bronze grey-greens, soft browns, sand and ochre, add tranquillity, comfort and raw beauty bringing all the relaxing and healing benefits of nature indoors. Crafted Sandstocks Castlemaine and Megalong Valley Grey from the Dry Pressed Architectural range are two beautiful bricks that express nature and this trend honestly.

“It’s a trend that provides great scope for innovation,” agrees Simpfendorfer. For a contemporary riff on a mid-century modern home, use mid-tone bricks as a feature wall inside with a similar shade brick floor or simply bring the brick from your façade right through into an internal feature.

A harmonious meshing of earthiness and cool retro-styling, Back to Nature is the perfect choice for a natural setting or for a mid-century classic home.
