‘Tis the Season for Conservatory Style Decorating!

Conservatory Style Decor
Bringing the outdoors inside is easy when you see all the beautiful pieces we carry.

We can’t think of a better time than now to share with you our passion for conservatory style decorating. Have you heard of this method of design? If not, you might be surprised to learn that the style is much more common than you think. In fact, you have probably used the style in your home’s design without even knowing it!

Conservatory style decorating involves bringing the indoors out and the outdoors inside. It’s a way to incorporate your glamorous garden decorating into your living, kitchen, and family space designs. During this time of the year, when nature offers such lovely natural décor, it’s a perfect time to fine tune your home with conservatory style.

At Marvin Gardens are particularly fond of this style because of the timeless look that it offers. Though trendy patterns and pieces may be impressive décor at the moment, beautiful natural elements from the outdoors will always create a bold look.

How Will You Use Your Storage Bins?

There are few things in our homes that have a fantastic assortment of uses and can be used in many ways. Can you think of some of those things? It’s likely that baskets or some other type of storage tops your list. And why not? Those items create a beautiful way to display things, store things, and can even be set aside as general décor. Every once in a while something catches our eye and we get excited about its possibilities all over again. Such is the case with our industrial bins here at Marvin Gardens.

Can you guess some of the bold pieces we have at Marvin Gardens?

The industrial bins that we carry can be used as beautiful planters or as storage bins for wood. They can even be used for kindling and recycling – it all comes down to how creative you’d like to be. What’s more, our storage bins even have an interesting history. To learn more about the storage bins and our other unique designs, stop by to see us!

There’s nothing quite as impressive as a bold look for your home. But how do you achieve this look during the winter and holiday season? Though it takes a little finesse, getting the right look that is both personalized for your tastes and is alive with holiday spirit can be done. At Marvin Gardens, we bring dozens of those kinds of options, inspired by our own decor and unique pieces. For example, have you considered using faux bois and vintage cast cement containers or birdbaths as holiday gifts or as dramatic table top interior pieces?

We would love to share more about how this can be done in your home! Take a look at our newest additions at Marvin Gardens by stopping by for a visit!

Use Interior Plants as Your Hostess Gifts This Season

There is no season quite like the season at hand. During the peak of fall, there are so many exciting events that are looming in front of us. In fact, with all of the approaching holiday parties, you might be getting concerned about gift ideas for your endearing hostesses. What kind of gift sends a polite message and is also useful? We have just the idea for you.

Interior plants have been a kind gesture for a long time. They have been both symbols of peace and beauty since the tradition of gift giving was even founded! This year, consider offering your hostess a striking angel vine, olive tree, or miniature potted lavender as a kind gesture. At Marvin Gardens, we also carry other ferns, succulents, or meyer lemon and tangerine trees that would serve as wonderful gifts. Afterward, your friend can use the plant to provide a lovely addition to the home’s interior space.

You’ll be pleasantly surprised to see how the urns help frame and balance the look of your home. Urns are also a great addition because they welcome guests in a grand way upon arrival.

Draw Your Interior Inspiration From the Beauty of the Season

Have you already begun dreaming about your holiday décor? When the shops begin stocking their shelves and the temperatures begin to drop (and they certainly have been!) then it’s usually time to start making your plans for holiday decorations that you’d like to use in your home this year. But where will you start? Should you incorporate some kind of theme or just throw it together? Better yet, instead of following a trending theme, consider drawing your interior inspiration from the beauty of the season! 

Throughout the winter months, we want your home to continue looking its best, so at Marvin Gardens we offer winter wonderland styled décor that keeps your home stunning well through February. Rather than decorating solely for the holidays, instead decorate for the entire season. This way, you can enjoy the seasonal look even after the holidays have passed.

To take advantage of our fabulous winter décor, hurry in to Marvin Gardens today!  Visit Marvin Gardens on Facebook to take a look at our newest pieces of décor.

Artistic Impressions Through Creative Expression

Here at Marvin Gardens, we believe that your home is much more than a place to live. Rather, your home and surroundings are a distinct indication of your style and the place for your personal expression to abound. The space around you should not only be a representation of yourself, but through the use of decorative elements, we can break through those old patterns and emphasize your own uniqueness and personality. Essentially, the ambiance in each home is formed by artistic impressions generated through creative expression.

Through incorporating unique pieces into your home that steer away from trendy fashions, your own individual style is formed. Take a look at this incredible architectural orb. The piece not only makes a statement in any garden, but it also certainly brings originality and depth to the area.

Improve Your Garden With Hardscaping Basics

It wasn’t too long ago that gardening was focused on solely as a means of nutrition and health benefit. Today, gardening has been taken to an entirely new level and thankfully, we now see gardens as a means of expression, relaxation, and stunning design. One of the ways gardens have transcended through time is through incorporating hardscaping into landscape designs. Items such as patios, walkways, and ponds allow us to highlight and frame the components of your outdoor setting. Here are a few of our favorite ways to improve your garden with hardscaping basics.
