Move Aside Owl, the Frog Is the Newest Home and Outdoor Decor Motif
Interior design has often had a love affair with animals: Remember the llama? Birds, butterflies and foxes have all had their time in the home decor sun. But nothing evokes a retro '70s vibe like the frog, making it the perfect motif for our '70s-inspired present design moment. (Jim Henson's beloved frog creation, Kermit, released his amphibious hit "Bein' Green" in 1970 on Sesame Street.) Popping up, naturally, in children's rooms, the frog is also a natural in garden settings. Frog sculptures and statuary are a great way to ornament your garden space. But real frogs can be a wonderful way to add some nature to your space too: create a pond where they will want to gather, or even a toad house that will help you keep pests at bay with some help from Mother Nature. Read on for some of our ideas for bringing a little frogcore to your home, both inside and out.
