Creating a space that reflects who you are and provides the tranquility and inspiration you need is one of the most rewarding things you can do.

In this post, we will explore how to take inspiration from the stunning natural beauty of the places around us and transform it into an interior design that reflects your dreams. Let’s dive into how Wasson Interiors can help you create a home that embodies the beauty of your surroundings.
Nature has long been a source of creativity, and its influence is prevalent in interior design trends worldwide. Whether it’s the colours of a sunset, the textures of the earth, or the calmness of a forest, nature can influence our emotions and mood. It’s no wonder that many of us turn to nature for inspiration when creating our homes.
Incorporating elements from the natural world can bring a sense of calm, warmth, and authenticity into your space. Whether in Sligo, Mayo, Donegal, Roscommon, or Leitrim, the landscapes around you offer a wealth of beauty, texture, and colour that can inspire your perfect interior. With Wasson Interiors’ expertise, we can help you harness this beauty and translate it into a cohesive, stylish home.
Let’s start with one of the most breathtaking parts of Ireland: the beaches of Sligo and Mayo. From the vast, sweeping shorelines of Strandhill, Rosses Point, and Mullaghmore Beach in Sligo to the stunning beaches of Keel Beach and Bertra Beach in Mayo, the natural landscapes offer a palette of soothing blues, warm sands, and calming neutrals. These coastal locations inspire a beachy, laid-back vibe that can be reflected in your home’s interior.
Imagine the soft, sandy hues of Dunmoran Strand or the deep blues and greens of Keel Beach in Mayo – these colors translate beautifully into soft, textured fabrics like linen or cotton, and they can be complemented with natural wood finishes and coastal accents. Incorporate light, airy curtains that move gently with the breeze, natural woven rugs that mimic the texture of sand, and soft pastel-coloured cushions that evoke the feel of the ocean.
Moving to Donegal, there are so many stunning beaches, such as Rossnowlagh, Maghera Beach, Ballymastocker Bay, and Marble Hill. The rugged beauty of Donegal’s coastline, with its dramatic cliffs, deep-blue waters, and sandy shores, offers an abundance of natural inspiration. These landscapes offer deep hues like navy blues, rich greys, and soft golden sands, which work beautifully with modern and minimalist interiors.
Donegal’s beaches invite the use of bold, earthy tones paired with clean, geometric lines to create an interior that feels modern yet rooted in nature. Rich blue and green tones can be mirrored in accent walls, fabrics, and accessories, while sandy beige and muted terracotta hues can provide grounding tones. Natural textures, such as driftwood-inspired furniture or stone elements, can further evoke the beauty of Donegal’s coastal environment.
For those who find inspiration in the quiet solitude of the forest, Roscommon offers lush, green expanses like Lough Key Forest Park, Cave Town Lake, and Bluebell Derren Wood. The deep greens of the forest, along with the earthy tones of trees and stone, can be mirrored in your home’s color scheme. Imagine incorporating rich emeralds, soft mossy greens, and the warm browns of timber into your interior design. These colors are perfect for creating a calming atmosphere in living rooms, bedrooms, or dining spaces.
Leitrim, with its tranquil Glenfarne, Tullylackan, Iron Mountain (Sliabh an Iarainn), and Glenaniff Waterfalls, provides an even broader canvas for nature-inspired design. The vibrant greens, browns, and blues of Leitrim’s natural landscape offer opportunities to create a peaceful, nature-filled retreat. You could bring the outdoors inside with greenery, textured fabrics like velvet and wool, and natural materials like rattan or oak. Leitrim’s scenic beauty is ideal for creating spaces that foster relaxation and tranquillity.
Now that we’ve explored the stunning landscapes around Sligo, Mayo, Donegal, Roscommon, and Leitrim, it’s time to bring all of these inspirations together on your mood board. A mood board is a fantastic way to visualize how these elements of nature can blend into a cohesive interior design that speaks to your style and personality.
Here are a few steps to help you get started with your mood board:
Gather Inspiration: Collect images of the landscapes, colors, and textures that inspire you. These could be photos of the beaches, forests, or mountains that you love, or pictures of interiors that reflect the mood you’re going for.
Color Palette: Based on your inspiration, choose a color palette that reflects the natural beauty around you. Whether it’s the soft sand of the beaches or the lush greenery of the forests, make sure the colors you select work together harmoniously.
Textures and Materials: Think about the textures and materials that best capture the spirit of your surroundings. Soft linens and cottons for beachy spaces, deep velvets for forest-inspired rooms, or natural wood and stone for rustic Donegal vibes.
Furniture and Layout: Consider the types of furniture that will complement your design. If you’re inspired by coastal towns, think about light, airy furniture in soft, neutral tones. If you love the woods, consider rustic wooden furniture and plenty of plants.
Personal Touches: Incorporate personal items or elements that remind you of your favorite natural places. This could include artwork, textiles, or accessories that reflect the scenery you love most.
