Styling Your Home with Natural Elements

Styling Your Home with Natural Elements

In a hectic world of constant connection to technology, it is important to be able to switch off from life’s demands when you come home. Creating a home that feels like a warm, welcoming, and calm space is essential. Although our homes may feel like they are full of tech with media rooms, gaming set ups and phone chargers in every room, there are still ways to create a tranquil place where you can relax. Introducing natural and eco-friendly materials and earthy tones can help create a sense of calm in your home.

Choose Sustainable Lighting

Our range of eco-friendly lighting styles are the perfect way to add texture and calmness with natural earthy colours. Sustainable and hand woven in India by a team of female artisans, the Sirana and Konduru light collection is crafted using sustainably sourced jute, a natural vegetable fibre. India is the largest producer of jute, a natural fibre that is 100% biodegradable, renewable and naturally insulating and anti-static. The Konduru large table lamp features a natural mango wood base and drum jute lampshade, whilst the Sirana small lamp comes in a striking burnt orange.

Cotton Wall Art

Wall art is a simple and effective way to elevate your home and is an opportunity to be creative. Curate your favourite photos or put together a gallery wall with colour co-ordinated prints. Our new season Umari cotton prints feature three printed cotton designs each with a circle print motif that come in a natural acacia wood frame. This trio of cotton prints are ideal wall art for living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways and are available as a group of three for cohesive look or as a single piece of artwork.

Wooden Furniture

Wooden furniture is often a popular choice not only for its natural finish and hue, but for its excellent quality and longevity. All our garden dining sets, and sofa sets are designed with acacia wood, which comes from acacia trees and shrubs found in many sub-tropical regions. Acacia wood is strong and durable and is known for its beautiful natural grain, making it the perfect choice for garden furniture like our Kuro dining set or the Rowan sofa set.

Our interior Bosco dining set is crafted from acacia wood with a natural edge with variation for a rustic look. Our interior furniture collection features pieces that are also designed with rubberwood like the Mabel bench as well as solid mango wood designs such as the Jade dining table and Aiden bar stools.

Natural Accessories

Home accessories are a wonderful way to use natural fabrics and materials in your home. Refresh you room with a statement rug. Choosing a natural rug made with a blend of cotton and wool like the Atcham will add texture and interest to your space as well as being warm and soft under foot. Add a cosy look to your sofa or favourite armchair with one of our cotton throws like the textured Nerja.

Adding accessories such as mirrors to plain walls can also elevate your interior, our Marbury round mirror features a wooden frame designed from paulownia wood, which is strong and robust yet still lightweight to hang securely on the wall. Introduce other touches of nature to your home by adding touches of greenery to different rooms. House plants and fresh or dried flowers complement natural tones and furniture beautifully providing a relaxed and calm space.
