You might not realize this at first, but we’re all constantly trying to reunite with nature and we’re always looking for ways to bring it into our homes. Some buildings let nature take over their designs by being built underground or being covered with vegetation. In addition, using nature-inspired materials is something a lot of interior designs focus on lately. Today we’ll explore a variety of ways in which moss can be used to make beautiful decorations and accessories for your home.

Designer creations

The Moss Carpet lets you enjoy the wonderful feeling of walking on fresh moss when you get out of the tub. The initial idea was to create a moss carpet big enough for living rooms and other spaces, however, due to regulations related to the living plants that go on it, this is impossible. However, you can buy the miniature version which you can use as a bath mat. You can also put several of these together to make a full size carpet or you can order the carpet and install your own moss to complete its design.

A custom-made moss carpet was used in this home office designed by Nidolab ArquitecturaandAlexkeha. In order to bring the outdoor in, the team used timber for the furniture and created a wooden platform on which a moss carpet made of patches of different colors was placed. The carpet is the focal point of the entire design, giving the space a fresh and vibrant feel.

Indoor green walls have the ability of transforming any space into a fresh oasis. You can use the Artisan Moss living walls to bring freshness and color into your home.

You can install these moss tiles on any kind of surface and they don’t require irrigation or fertilization.

Designers also used moss in a lot of interesting furniture creations. One example is the biophotovoltaic moss table which was created as part of a larger research project called Design in Science. It creates electricity from the electrons captured by conductive fibers inside it. This way, energy created through photosynthesis which would otherwise be wasted can be put to practical use. The table can be used to power small devices such as digital clocks. The goal is to soon create models which will be able to power larger devices such as lamps and even laptops.

If you’re not interested in harvesting energy from your furniture, check out the moss tables offered by Ayodhya. They are envisioned as secret gardens embedded into simple home furniture. The tables have glass tops under which real dried moss was inserted. Each table is unique and they all have their own dose of mystery and charm.

There are numerous other interesting pieces of furniture which were specifically designed to let you bring nature in in the most literal way. A good example is the Grass Ottoman which was designed by Nancy Favier, its role initially being to complement a contemporary pool setting in California. It can be used in a variety of settings, such as in gardens, on decks but also inside the house. The sunroom would be a good place for such a piece of furniture.

Real moss was also used in a lot of stylish projects involving home decorations and accessories such as the Moss Clock by Dutch studio noktuku. The clock is covered with real reindeer moss from Norway which was selected by hand and carefully preserved. The clock’s frame is handcrafted of birch plywood using the steam bending technique.
