Native Plants

It is the first ordinance of its kind, helping to improve the local ecosystem. Residents may work to support the sustainable living initiative by planting native plants on private property and including the plants in interior design schemes. While there’s no requirement for native plants on private property, adding a collection of native plants to the home’s interior serves to highlight the home’s locale, adds a conversation piece about preservation, and helps to enhance the home’s air quality.
Color
Colors serve as the design base, which pulls eclectic design elements together and creates balance. Neutral colors are calming and allow for additional elements without creating a mismatched atmosphere. A few simple, classic tones are the foundation of the eclectic décor. Vibrant accessories work well with neutral tones. Both light and dark colors are beneficial. White creates the appearance of a larger space and dark colors add warmth. Painted walls are easier to change and require less work than wall coverings.
Texture

Enhance a guests visit by including interesting textural elements, which attract direct physical interaction or touch. Enhance a homes eclectic feel with contrasting textures.
