If a tarp doesn't work, try rocks, packing peanuts or old towels. Place the pumpkins in the urn on top of the tarp, allowing it to sink slightly into the middle of the tarp.

Designed with a subtle aquatic theme in mind, the space relies on natural elements to blur the line between nature and reality. Casual, shore-inspired furniture with wood and woven finishes act as neutrals in the room. Sandy beige and watery blues mixed with beachy textures mimic a relaxing seascape. Found elements, such as piece of driftwood and wispy beach grass, provide natural finishing touches.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBXirY25EUsq9QjKGaM_eq8EptB8vZyCSVuYdPGIc9MN4_AB_9RRGhxMAlgDNKfpID4uznkY7rGZytEF0Nq-i8FJbBlVvvemr-_j7vtBMfBYJm7hhXkVO93u8FDpba2qejOrTcvxWj/s640/new-Decorating-design-with-Natural-Elements-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Cottage-Style Beauty</span></b></span></div><br />Whitewashed wood paneling and seagrass floor covering lighten the living room and add texture. Shutters, wicker furniture, and gingham draperies give the room beachy style, while natural accents such as a tray of sea-inspired plants add fresh personality.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirncrWTMNfySXAbYFNBM5ceJnNAswufndSNb0U58N_P6SxbXq2aB0v0gSksk3alrI6HAvPmP6BjvrIKfZqbDQ3r2a5FrPiLIoJbO2Orv2IETdZg0_BvBJH2AvvlucQzJQpp4kHP7uv/s640/new-Decorating-design-with-Natural-Elements-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Woodland Escape</span></b></span></div><br />Give a traditional bathroom a contemporary twist by going big with natural elements. Ethereal wallpaper, a reclaimed mirror, and a wood slab countertop combine for a beautiful textural bath with all the right touches.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiemg30NTmwoIJjfljM1KWjwuVqQjRmbRMNwrnF06Z7KprSfQ_O9yPLtslaZjb8ftwp1wses_mqoiltgRCCG77JvMGxPYTCXWpCT9f_05zog6J2IOKOqbO8zgraJpii_iWMLDFFnuhS/s640/new-Decorating-design-with-Natural-Elements-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Collection Makeover</span></b></span></div><br />Give your sand collection a makeover with an elegant twist. Portion out your sand into antique jars and label each one with the location and date. Layer in coral and dried sea plants for an ocean-inspired scene.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYjuTYMhvCFltGF3Vlit-7eLqDoYCSxmwF6vtHP2XphVj3dx7IeHk6i-SDAohtsmWa3t6-oXmGlXv5OJ31xQ2CDlYzX_TzivWyCbH6ZBf_r8y4SgJl1pcX0-lx68WZ2TUbQiv5ZV2z/s640/new-Decorating-design-with-Natural-Elements-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Resourceful Recycling</span> </b></span></div><br />Recycle a collection of glass bottles into an eye-catching mantel display. Gather interesting greenery from outdoors and place each piece in a different jar. Stagger jars according to shape and height, then place a mirror behind the collection to reflect light.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQf7mwxU2BluIWgXzXGQ0XLgiafcsN2l8UfOXl5cbmPwEskWs2wYr8RmAHX3cuoeKEe-KXmAs21Q3ohenFeN9fF6C_LC9jyZcGTDGexHpTdXRACg4dJNJCqLgx50A60UeT4eHLaGxL/s640/new-Decorating-design-with-Natural-Elements-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Subtle Botanicals</span></b></span></div><br />Botanicals never look anything but elegant. Paired with traditional furnishings, they bring pastoral sophistication to a room. Frame and mat botanical prints and hang them in a grid. Don't be afraid to take over an entire wall -- the ivory mats and simple colors of the prints keep the look subtle.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpP5W_nV4tdbRW-1ojAkRI5u-78eah4eaIR6h_iiyeVAqIhg_1IxJJqAsbDghFecsycvTJr26F5HW2pIrzA6nsVO95KzzqOhgbVBWvovvPmMKeKFes7Xb0hXpNb3wzu1vMHMle5xgf/s640/new-Decorating-design-with-Natural-Elements-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: orange;"> </span><span class="heading2" style="color: orange;">Decorating with Diversity</span></b></span> </div><br />The beauty of decorating with nature is that the relics complement your keepsakes and flea market gems. Embrace decorating diversity and pair serving trays with shells, photographs, and nature prints.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-rMLnwZzZuu5DlikRyDjGYZyJv9y1516E1maRv-W2oYLQSEvgSUnTVYgOIqEmtp8tBwwdyoAn34NxdYFuVSCjYsD-KE2Ti2Yvpsy-3vWFDJy328COVbmahGOcbX2tbTzvEDnU7IJF/s640/new-Decorating-design-with-Natural-Elements-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Easy Tabletop Touch</span></b></span></div><br />Bring the garden inside -- create a mini tabletop terrarium beneath a pretty cloche. Here, a small glass cloche is also a practical way to protect potted plants from being knocked over.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX-BkdhawG49LCT-QF4OOtRpnfGpv3ngaMP-oKcN7gM11SyDrsYQLEv9oU5e4ujLnP8e6X5gcKeyIujjICCg6fIxXKJmw6LtE6t6t5NPoST1aIWMSX49uxtMoucbgmg_nTA72sdXJ-/s640/new-Decorating-design-with-Natural-Elements-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Getting Greener</span></b></span></div><br />Moss topiary balls introduce a natural look and add texture to this arrangement of elegant objects. Incorporating natural touches, typically seen as casual, does not diminish the formality of a traditional space. Rather, it adds another layer of personality. Opt for subtle additions and you'll maintain your room's sophistication.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAE2kpRA-BMgtW-x70Xfs8zLt4oVbY1szzcIlZ1QtCdIYxD7_C2nvLHP6nrX8xZGsVxFHf2le9uw6L5x-Cvxdn8bsD9leZC5OUEx1JXPFRwpU8uWxjfR5NV-TcWsqTZGlFB8iI7u32/s640/new-Decorating-design-with-Natural-Elements-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Conversation Piece</span></b></span></div><br />Shelves filled with keepsakes become a cabinet of curiosities, sure to spark conversation with any guests. Cover books with white parchment paper to give them a uniform look. Then pile shells, coral, and apothecary jars on top of and around them for a display with dimension.
