Home Decor
In a few months we will be moving to new home and taking on quite a large renovation project! Although somewhat scary, I love home decor projects, especially the journey of personalising a space and making it your own. I find the process so creative and extremely satisfying.
When it comes to home decor I prefer, neutral and natural-looking decor, particularly when it comes to floor coverings. Wood or natural stone costs a bomb, so I was very intrigued when I heard about Johnson Inkjet Tiles. These beautiful tiles provide a great substitute to home owners, who want to embark on home improvements and prefer the natural look, but may not have the budget for natural stone or solid wood flooring.
As I have mentioned before bringing nature into your home decor, is a good place to start your creative process, especially when looking at colour palettes. Find out which colours complement each other and exist in harmony, in nature and allow this to influence your decor choices.
Inkjet printing technology will allow for high-definition printing on uneven surfaces, such as ceramic and porcelain tiles. This has led to the development of tiles that look exactly like wood and natural stone but at a fraction of the price. So you can introduce these nature inspired elements without breaking the bank!
Tiles with a wood inkjet design can now go where wood has not gone before – wet spaces. These wood-look tiles are ideal for the bathroom and work just as well as decking on the patio, especially those with a textured finish. The latest stone prints combine different types of natural stone such as marble, slate and travertine thus featuring a variety of veining patterns.
Consumers are seeking out flooring solutions that are going to offer them value in the longest term, understanding that cheaper alternatives will not last as long, and will not wear as well. Inkjet tiles offer customers on-trend finishes that they desire without having to pay too much to get the look they’re after. ~ Richard Nuss, marketing manager for Johnson Tiles.
Inkjet tiles that imitate stone are ideal for open-plan living areas as they blend together beautifully and therefore create a seamless flow from one space to the next.

Mother Nature is our best friend. She inspires us to outdo ourselves, she evokes in us a yearning for a simpler way of life. And she certainly has an influence on the fashion and the decor scene. Natural fibres which are untreated and unbleached are my top preferences.
What a prize – anyone’s dream!
Thanks to you and the generous sponsors. Nice prize! ?
I incoporate alot of earthy elements, like natural wood, recycled decor products, Green products and woven dried grass products, and handmade, handcarved south african decor products.
I try and let the outdoors flow indoors and use natural products and textures where possible and keep it simple and relaxing 🙂
I incorporate nature into my interior space by having a vase of pretty flowers to brighten up the space!! I have neutral, earthy tones painted on my walls and try incorporate textures as much as I can.. Also leave my sliding doors open and let the fresh breeze in 🙂
I like to use the colours of a blued day at the beach – blues and beiges. I also add items found on the beach like driftwood and sea glass.
I use lots of green, plants and as much of natural earth and nature elements as possible.
We love nature and elements of it in our home. It’s important to go green and natural wherever we can and expose our daughter to the wonders of the outdoors… inside the home 🙂
we live in an apartment so it is a bit more challenging but we use natural finishes as far as possible with furniture and décor. as well as keep window plants and a herb garden in our foyer.
