You are probably already aware of the sustainable and renewable qualities of using natural fibres in your home design, so this blog looks at how sisal, seagrass, coir and jute can play to add a calming aesthetic.
With an ever-busy lifestyle and chaotic world, creating retreats in our homes is more important than ever. Whether that’s a cosy corner or a place to relax and unwind with friends and family, stress-busting colour schemes and neutral tones lead the way.
Colour Palettes
Start by choosing the right colour palette for your home. It doesn’t have to be a neutral palette, but it is always worth checking out lots of colour choices and finding one that you find calming. It’s also worth pointing out that colours can change throughout the year, depending on the light, so consider this when finalising your choices. An example of this can be seen in some blue tones, which can provide a welcoming cool in summer but appear stark during the winter season.
Layers of comfort
Soften your interior design further with layers of textures, such as throws, cushions and rugs. Adding layer upon layer will give a touch of luxury comfort and create a welcoming atmosphere. Consider contrasting layers to pick up your main colour scheme. Using layering methods can also work well with rugs with several used and overlapping instead of using one area rug.
Mix of materials
Get inspired by the outdoors by collecting objects and art that reflect the natural world. This could be as simple as a driftwood piece, art, sculpture or rattan object.
Flooring
We saved the best till last! With a range of natural carpets and rugs, we’ve long advocated for adding some natural calm to your home through your choice of flooring. Not only do they add a subtle pattern, but they’re also a great alternative to synthetic carpets and will cope with the pressures of family living. Many of our floors have small nuances of colour variations that provide delicate details. At the same time, a choice of different weaves, such as herringbone, boucle or chunky, allows you to include calming textural impact.
