How to Make Your Home Blend with the Surrounding Landscape

The state of New Mexico is known for the pueblo and adobe architecture that make up our homes and commercial infrastructure. This building style is very unique and provides homeowners with many ideas regarding furniture and home accents. If you’ve recently moved to New Mexico and have settled on a home, it’s likely that you are enamored with the atmosphere. You might love the New Mexico environment so much, you’ll want to make your home feel like you’re living in the great outdoors! If that’s the case, you’ve come to the right place. Here are some tips that can help you reach the level you want your home to exceed.

Complement Your Home with Materials Found in Nature 

Many homeowners know that nature is the best way to easily add color and life to your home. If you want to bring the outdoors within your home, it might be best if you look for furniture made out of stone, wood, or metal, as all of these materials have gorgeous textures and hues that are guaranteed to leave an unforgettable impression. You can get even more creative by installing light fixtures made out of these materials or by adding a wood backsplash to your fireplace, for a more natural touch. 

Allow Ample Light to Flow in Each Room 

Anyone who has lived in New Mexico, whether it’s been just a year or their entire life, knows that the sunsets are incomparable. Thanks to the New Mexican architecture, most homes are designed to let the comforting light of the sunset to flow in. It’s without a doubt that natural light within your home is one of the most desired elements in design when it comes to mimicking the environment. It makes sense. Not only does natural light boost one’s moods, but it creates a glow and ambiance for everyone in your home to enjoy. 

A Color Palette that Reflects the Region 

You can play with a color palette in every room of your home, including the kitchen, the living room, even the outdoor patio in your yard! Take a look at the vegetation and the colors that are typically used when constructing homes. If you want your home to be one with nature, all you have to do is choose furniture and accents that reflect these very same colors. Some common hues may consist of rich browns, maroon, turquoise blue, and some hints of red here and there. You can easily achieve this look with the help of your garden as well! 

Design Inviting Outdoor Spaces 

If your home was built with an outdoor patio, you can’t let this go to waste! Even working with your entryway can help bring in the natural elements of New Mexico’s land and climate. You can incorporate an outdoor fireplace or an elegant gazebo in your backyard, to create natural settings where you and your guests can unwind and release yourself into nature. You can also pick and choose from furniture that is made with materials such as bamboo, wood, stone, metal, and glass to recreate the gorgeous elements found in the great outdoors. 

Fence Your Home with Natural Elements 

Believe it or not, the fencing that surrounds your home plays a big role in making the impression that you are in touch with the surrounding environment and landscaping. While more modern homes tend to use pricier materials to achieve their overall look, you can work with this principle by opting for materials you’ll often find in the outdoors or on the exterior of your home. Bamboo, latticework, wood screens, partitions, and pergolas are all wonderful options that can help multiple rooms within your home feel like you are living in the comfort of the outdoors. 

Build Up Instead of Extending Out 

Lastly and most importantly, one of the best ways to allow your home to blend with its natural surroundings is to respect the green space it already has. The more you extend out your home, the more it will take up the natural elements and landscaping. By adding furniture and accents that build your home vertically, you can continue to honor the nature near your own home, and even your guests will notice it! Honoring your outdoor space just as much as your indoor space is essential.
