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.

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.

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.
