Decorating Diva: Home decor accents inspired by nature

Metal coral sculpture

If you've ever taken a close look at coral you know it's one of the most decorative items found in nature. That's why this ornate metal sculpture (Pottery Barn, $69) caught our eye. Not only will it add height and dimension to any surface, this decorative piece can easily stand alone as a statement accent.

Tree shower curtain

If you're stuck indoors when you're rather be reveling in nature, you might as well feel like you have the tall trees at your fingertips. And with this ultra-cute shower curtain (Urban Outfitters, $39), you can feel like you're soaping up in the great outdoors. We love the stylish contrast of chocolate brown on white.

Birch salad bowl

Serve up some of summer's bounty in this sleek birch salad bowl (Williams Sonoma, $129), a handcrafted piece made from North American yellow birch. The tasteful bowl will look great filled to the brim with farmer's market favorites and will add a touch of the outdoors to your next indoor gathering. When not in use, fill with fresh fruit to add color and make it easy to grab a healthy snack.

Sprout art

Add a quirky, modern element to your living space with this distinctive piece of wall art (CB2, $90). Twenty-three brass stems sprout from the steel planter -- and the best part is you can arrange the blooms any way you please. This interactive home accent can be mounted on the wall or used as an eye-catching centerpiece. The artist has provided a numbered plan but we like creating our own design.
