Why Choose Natural Decor?
More than a trend, natural decor is timeless. It suits everyone: from students to seniors, it’s an open and adaptable style according to individual tastes. Natural decor helps create a healthy and harmonious environment and can also convey eco-friendly values.
So, why create a natural decor in your home?
- The natural style is calming. It invites you to recharge and cozy up in a healthy and cozy environment. Plus, natural colors and textures are recognized for their calming effects.
- The natural style is the king of DIY! If you feel like recycling, natural materials are easy to repurpose. A simple branch can become a light fixture, a table runner, or a wall hook. In short, it's practical but also an invitation to creativity!
- The natural style is aesthetic and varied. While maintaining harmony, you can easily combine different elements and decorate your entire interior in an original and varied way. Furniture, rugs, fabrics, plants—you can create your decor in a natural look!
So, ready to transform your interior with a touch of nature?
The Choice of Materials for Natural Decor
Let's start with the natural materials to prioritize based on the spaces and uses you want to achieve.
Wood
It is one of the emblematic materials of natural interior decor. Wood can be used for large structural works such as installing a wooden floor or framework.
More easily, you can choose wooden furniture, of course! At Nordlys, we work with 100% FSC-certified wood from sustainably managed forests. For the design of our wooden furniture, we have chosen to use ash, rubberwood, pine, acacia, and beech.
Natural Fibers
Natural fibers are numerous: wicker, rattan, bamboo, water hyacinth, for example. All these fibers can be used to make decorative objects or even rugs.
At Nordlys, several of our furniture pieces incorporate elements made of natural fiber: for example, the backrest of a chair or the door of a dresser. This year, rattan and caning are the stars of our collections! They bring a warm and cozy touch while adopting rounded, design curves.
Discover our range made from rattan and caning; dressers, side tables, stools, chairs, and armchairs—there’s something for everyone!
Natural Textiles
There are many types of natural textiles: silk, linen, cotton, wool, leather, and many more. They can be found throughout your home: curtains, sheets, table settings, armchairs, or sofas.
The decorative elements of an interior are made from a multitude of materials, so the challenge is to create harmony between these different textures, colors, and materials.
This year, boucle fabric is making a grand return, and we have featured it in several products in our ranges like the Diana living room armchairs, the Otsu poufs, or the Sofia designer chairs.
The Choice of Colors for Natural Decor: An Important Parameter
Color conveys emotions; it's a major creator of ambiance! Natural colors are calming, soft, and allow for the creation of a zen environment where one can recharge more easily.
Naturally, green is the key color for natural decor. However, blue, brown, white, yellow, and beige in pastel tones are also making an entrance today! For example, the beautiful yellow of our Louis armchair will add a pop to your decor while remaining understated.
Nature is rich in colors, and all shades are to be experimented with to find the right balance. Don’t hesitate to use two complementary colors to create a palette with slight variations.
Then, add warm shades like brown, taupe, and terracotta. You can integrate them in touches with the Koge chair or the Enkel pouf, which doesn’t take up much space.
Finally, consider lighting to highlight your beautiful color work. Light fixtures, small lamps—everything is good to avoid a dark interior.
The Choice of Plants and Vegetation: Essentials
The Right Plant for the Right Space
Plants and greenery can be placed anywhere in your interior! Just be aware of the constraints related to each space to choose the right plant. If you lack a green thumb, this article is designed to guide you step by step in your plant experimentation!
Plants Have Many Advantages
Of course, they are a central element of natural interior decor. Plants bring color and vegetation, and they also help purify the air! Additionally, adding a nice planter can be a true decorative element—why not take advantage of it?
The Choice of Accessories: The Little Touches of Natural Decor
Decorative Accessories: The Details That Make a Difference
And in terms of interior design, always remember to think about the little details. Dried flowers, a wicker basket, a rattan trunk, a rattan light fixture, a wooden coat rack—there are plenty of options to perfect your natural decor. A Narita bedside table, or the Isumi accent bench in caning and wood are all ready to welcome your decorative accessories.
Be Careful Not to Overload the Space with Decorative Accessories
However, be careful not to overload your decor with elements. As you understand, this would go against the calming atmosphere you wish to create with a natural decor.
Conclusions
You now have all the keys to create a natural decor according to your desires!
This calming, sustainable, and aesthetic style consists of various elements: wood, fibers, textiles, colors, decorative objects, and plants. The challenge? Letting go while finding balance and natural harmony! It’s your turn!
