4. Pressed Botanical Glass Frames
Bringing elements of nature indoors is a core principle of biophilic design, which promotes a calm and restorative home environment. Pressed botanical art is a timeless, elegant way to incorporate greenery into your decor without having to worry about watering schedules. Best of all, the raw materials are completely free and can be sourced directly from your backyard or a local park.
Gather interesting leaves, ferns, or colorful wildflowers and press them between the pages of a heavy book lined with parchment paper for about two weeks. Once the botanicals are completely dry and flat, place them between two panes of glass inside a double-sided floating frame. If you do not have floating frames, you can secure the pressed leaves onto high-quality watercolor paper using a tiny drop of clear glue before placing them in a standard frame. The delicate details of the foliage create a sophisticated, minimalist aesthetic.
