What is Natural Art? The basic concept
Natural art refers to artwork that incorporates natural materials and organic designs. By utilizing natural materials such as wood, stone, and plants while adding a modern essence, it creates a warm space. Natural art, with its simple yet profound appeal, brings peace and vitality to our lives.
The characteristics of this art style can be summarized in the following three points:
Harmony with nature : Using natural materials brings the warmth of the outdoors indoors, creating a relaxing space.
Sustainability : We also value an ecological perspective by choosing environmentally friendly materials.
Unique expression : By utilizing the irregular patterns and textures unique to natural materials, you can create one-of-a-kind works of art.
In recent years, natural art has also been gaining attention in the field of interior design, and is being incorporated into a variety of spaces, including hotels, cafes, and offices. The essence of natural art is to aim for a comfortable space while achieving harmony between nature and the artificial.

How to incorporate natural art into your home
Let's take a closer look at how to effectively incorporate natural art into each room, aiming to create a cozy atmosphere while taking advantage of the unique characteristics of each space.
Living room : Because it is the central space where the family gathers, it is made into a calming space by placing large driftwood art and potted plants. Botanical art that makes use of the wall is also lovely. It is an easy conversation starter when guests come over, and it creates a peaceful atmosphere throughout the space.
Bedroom : To create a relaxing space, try soft pieces like dried flower wreaths or pressed flower art. They also work well as wall decorations above the bedhead. We recommend serene artwork that will transform your time before bed into a soothing experience.
Study/Workspace : Use a small moss terrarium or stone object as an accent around your desk to help you concentrate and feel relaxed. Small items that evoke a sense of nature are also effective for refreshing yourself between work or study sessions.
Kitchen : Decorate your dining table with natural art, such as dried herbs and fruit art. Create a space where cooking is fun while incorporating practical elements. Place it near a window to take advantage of the natural light.
Entrance : The first space where you welcome your guests. By incorporating seasonal branches, wreaths, and other natural elements, you can create a warm welcome. Even in a compact space, you can create a wonderful atmosphere with a little ingenuity.
By incorporating natural art into each room to suit its purpose and the way you spend your time, you can create a more comfortable and attractive space. By swapping out and rearranging the artwork according to the season or your preferences, you can always enjoy creating a fresh space.
Affordable DIY natural art!
One of the attractions of natural art is that it can be enjoyed as a DIY project. We will introduce some DIY items that you can easily get started with using familiar natural materials. You can create beautiful, original works of art on a budget.
Pressed Flower Canvas Art : Simply press wildflowers or flowers from your garden onto a canvas to create a beautiful piece of art. Using clear resin creates a more modern look.
Driftwood Mobile : You can make a natural mobile using driftwood collected while beachcombing and hemp string. By balancing it and hanging it, you can enjoy the natural movement of the mobile swaying in the wind.
Pine cone wreath : Pick up pine cones in the park, fix them to a wreath base, and arrange them with dried flowers and ribbons for a warm, seasonal decoration.
Frequently asked questions and solutions
We'll answer some common questions about natural art and provide solutions, along with practical advice to help beginners get started with it.
How to care for dried flowers? It is sufficient to dust them off with a soft brush about once a month. Avoid direct sunlight and avoid placing them in humid places. It is especially recommended to avoid placing them near water, such as in the bathroom, as this can lead to mold. For terrariums, watering them about once every two weeks and occasionally ventilating them will keep them healthy.
What's the estimated cost? If you're DIY, you can start with materials starting from around 1,000 yen. Ready-made items cost around 3,000 to 10,000 yen, so you can choose according to your budget and preferences. It's recommended to start with small pieces and gradually expand your collection. You can also get better quality items at more affordable prices by taking advantage of sales periods.
Tips for placement : Choose a location with plenty of natural light and a height that draws the eye. Small pieces look best when grouped together in groups of three. Combining pieces of different sizes and varying their heights will create a more three-dimensional and attractive space.
How to choose materials : For beginners, it is recommended to start with dried flowers or pressed flowers, which are easy to handle. Always make sure to dry the materials thoroughly before using them, and don't forget to treat them with insect repellent. When collecting natural materials, it is important to follow the rules of public places and be considerate of the environment.
How do you respond to seasonal changes?: By changing out the artwork with each season, you can create a fresh space all year round. By utilizing materials unique to each season, such as cherry blossoms and fresh greenery in spring, cool leaves in summer, autumn leaves in autumn, and pine cones in winter, you can create a richer range of expressions.
