There's nothing like bringing the outdoors in when designing your interiors; here's a way to literally bring some natural feel into your home. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3.

1. Find a tree branch slightly wider than your window trim. Use pruning shears to remove long twigs, but leave a few stubs, for character.

2. Paint the branch (the example pictured used white to pop against the chocolate-color wall) using low or no-VOC paint, or leave it natural.

3. Tie-top curtain panels allow you to adjust for the curves of the branch-no clips or rings needed.
