Wild aesthetics

When the corners you style look beautiful,

Not with glamorous bouquets,

But with precious finds; from your morning walks.

Then you can proudly wear the badge of an aesthete! 

There is an order in the chaos they say,

As there is beauty in the untamed blooms.

If there is creativity within you and passion to decorate;

Even a bunch of wild flowers seem no less than a floral art!

Modest attempt at writing something close to a poem!

But these are heartfelt. Do you feel the same too?

If you style your home with love and warmth, you create the perfect hygge!

An atmosphere of well being and cosiness, where you feel at peace and are able to enjoy the simple pleasures of life by just being in the moment!

Plants in your decor

There is no such thing as too much greenery. Ask me, the more the merrier! Most of us do whatever it comes to accommodate plants at home , for the rest I have only one advice...Bring these life givers into your lives, home decor takes a whole new turn with greens around!
No dedicated space - bring them indoors.
Small balcony - use available spaces like window sill, area near the kitchen sink,  rest room shelves( yes, don't spare them either)

Let me show you some inspirational visuals...

Rain drenched greens...

Create a partition with plants!

On the window...

As I said, have them in your 'rasoi'

Calmness assured!

That cluster out there on the wooden bajot has my heart

Hanging them in pretty pots is always an available option.

Sitting inside but staring outside the window? Well, the greens outside sure does that to you!

Can sit here and gaze for hours....how about you?

Even a small sit out comes to life...

A quiet corner...

A very simple arrangement but for the extra dose of colours!

So, when are you sprucing up your home with plants?

Renovating my green space

Greens have always been my weakness. Every time I visit a  friend or a relative, i unfailingly carry back seeds or plants.  Till a few week's back, all my plants were arranged on the floor and inspite of having a terrace balcony the space looked almost full.

Now, we have a customised metal rack made in two levels and that houses all the plants, thus freeing the floor space. Since, they are neatly arranged in a line, it also gives the plant a kind of volume.
You will notice that the little accessories amidst the plants appeal more than ever now

Also, it is easy to maintain the floor and they are devoid of mud or water stains.A little change goes a long way...

Have a look at the pics...

An L-shaped rack fulfills my requirement. It holds pots of various sizes and some much needed accessories in between.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Take a closer look...

A ketli converted into a planter and a shell holding cactus

Grasshopper adding some colour

Another ceramic jar converted into a planter...

Painted stones adding some more cheer!

This pot holds a dried stem picked during walks...

Another stone with painted prayers on it

Do you notice the bells in this pic Both are cowbells, one a replica from the famous Bollywood movie DDLJ, another one from a small village near Dandeli. I remember me and my cousin sighting a cow grazing in the field with such  a bell tied to its neck and how we didn't leave the town without getting some from the local market there!

Now, I wish I would have got some more so that the whole length could have been covered with these cute bells.

Yet another...

Some animal figurines...

I love the cascading effect of this plant. A friend moved to the US of A and I was the lucky one to own this!

A wall covered with knick-knacks

We come to the end of the balcony tour.The vertical arrangement has really helped me in organizing all the plants neatly.
 Would soon come up some more interesting posts. Stay tuned!
