Want to bring the colors of nature into your home? Natural-style furnishings are perfect for you! In recent years, environmental sustainability has become a central theme in our lives, and this also applies to interior design.
Decorating your home in a natural style is much more than just a trend; it means focusing on a lifestyle focused on respect for the environment and ecology. Natural-style furnishings are actually a design trend that borrows many traits from other styles: modern design, attention to detail, and a focus on the key elements of Nordic style. All this, of course, with a green perspective.
Have we piqued your curiosity? Here's a mini guide to natural-style furnishings, a series of inspirations for creating a comfortable and airy space!
All the charm of wood for your natural-style furnishings

What's greener and more eco-friendly than wood? For a truly natural-style decor, this is the material to choose, even better if untreated and left (precisely) natural. From light to dark shades, from cherry to oak...there are no limits to the use of wood for furniture and accessories, as well as for building materials.
Wood also becomes a decorative element thanks to its grain and knots, ideal for accentuating the minimalism and spontaneity of natural-style decor. Furthermore, in keeping with Scandinavian tradition, untreated wood further accentuates the brightness of rooms and helps create a light and restful atmosphere in the home.
But a home furnished in natural style doesn't consist of wood alone! To create harmonious and dynamic contrasts, you can also use different materials. Here's which ones!
Sinuous natural weaves and textures: choose wicker and rattan baskets

Rattan is an eco-friendly material that can make all the difference in a natural-style home! It's even better when paired with wicker elements. Baskets and hampers, a few comfortable chairs, a magazine rack...these two materials can be used for both furnishing accessories and accents, and are extremely useful for adding movement to natural decor with light, sinuous textures.
Remember that furnishing in a natural style also means creating a sense of lightness in your home, and with rattan and wicker, you can break up the austerity of wood and add a touch of dynamism to your home.
Enhance your natural decor to the max with logs!
Wood is the most important material for natural-style decor, but if you want to add a truly personal touch to your home, try using a few logs in place of traditional furnishing accessories! A small log can replace a stool or even a traditional bedside table. A stylish addition to your home and a truly green addition!
Natural-style decor and plants, a winning combination!

Let's get this straight: flowers, plants, and small plants are a must-have for any natural-style decor. After all, decorating with plants is much more than a trend: green is the quintessential color of nature, bringing a sense of airiness and freshness to the home and making rooms more welcoming and restful. And it looks great anywhere, from the living room to the bedroom!
In a nature-themed decor, the greenery of plants can enter the home in many different ways. Themed wallpaper, for example, is an affordable solution for revitalizing a wall, but prints and decorations with floral or plant motifs also work beautifully. Look at this small chest of drawers: it will fit perfectly into a natural-style home!

Natural-style decor is characterized by a feeling of well-being and comfortable brightness. Fabrics are therefore important: the right weaves and textures of textiles help lighten the home environment. And for a home decorated in a natural style, there's nothing more suitable than linen!
Linen is a lightweight, rough-textured natural fiber, pleasant to the touch, and available in white or gray. Texture and color are therefore the perfect combination for a natural-style decor that's both light and bright.
