  • Natural style is the king of Do It Yourself! If you're in the mood to recycle, natural materials are easy to divert from their primary use. A simple branch can be transformed into a light fixture, table runner or wall hanging. In short, it's practical, but it's also an invitation to creativity!

The choice of materials for natural decoration

Let's start with the natural materials you'll want to choose, depending on the space and the uses you intend to put them to.

The woods

It's one of the emblematic materials of natural interior design. Wood can be used for major structural work, such as wood flooring and framing. 

It's even easier to choose wooden furniture, of course! At Nordlyswe work with 100% FSC-certified wood from sustainably managed forests. For the design of our wooden furniture, we have chosen to use ash, hevea, pine, acacia and beech.


Natural fibers

Natural fibers abound: wicker, rattan, bamboo, water hyacinth, for example. All these fibers can be used to make decorative objects or even carpets. 

At Nordlys, several of our pieces of furniture feature natural fiber elements: for example, the back of a chair or the door of a chest of drawers. This year, rattan and cane are the stars of our collections! They bring a warm, cozy feel to furniture, with their rounded, designer curves.

Natural textiles

There are many types of natural textiles: silk, linen, cotton, wool, leather and many more. You'll find them everywhere in your home: curtains, sheets, placemats, armchairs and 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, bouclette fabric is making a comeback, and we've used it on several products in our ranges, including the Diana lounge chairs Diana lounge chairs Otsu poufs or the Sofia design chairs.

 

Choosing the right colors for natural decoration: an important parameter

Color conveys emotions and is a great mood creator! Natural colors are soothing, soft and create a Zen environment where you can recharge your batteries more easily. Discover all our advice in a previous article on choosing colors here.

Of course, green is the star color of natural decorating. But pastel shades of blue, brown, white, yellow and beige are also making an appearance! For example, the magnificent yellow of our Louis armchair for example, will add pizzazz to your decor, while remaining sober.

Nature is rich in color, and you can experiment with every nuance to find the right balance. Don't hesitate to use two complementary colors to create a nuancier with slight variations.

Then add warm shades such as brown, taupe and terracotta. You can with a touch of the Koge chair chair or the Enkel footstool which doesn't take up much space.

Finally, think about lighting to bring out your superb colorist's work. Lighting fixtures, small lamps, anything to avoid a dark interior.

The choice of plant elements and plants: a must
