Bring the essence of the natural world into your home using wood, stone, and natural fibers to recreate the feeling of the outdoors. Natural Interiors shows you how, with advice and ideas on how to capitalize on a scenic view, add colors and forms to interior spaces for a cohesive fresh-air feeling, or duplicate these effects to create an urban retreat from the bustle and crowds of the city.

Features inspired design ideas on how to: --Coordinate your interior and patio decors with color and texture to draw garden greenery inside --Expose structural elements for a rough-hewn backdrop against which to furnish a sheltered next --Balance a sylvan site with a cozy interior, creating a relaxing spot in front of the fire while winter storms rage outside --Lengthen the patio season with an outdoor fireplace or a deck or terrace furnished with comfortable weather-resistant furniture for al fresco entertaining on chilly evenings.

Over 100 color photographs in Natural Interiors provide examples and inspiration for expressing your own appreciation of the outdoors in you home.
