A natural or organic feel is a popular trend among homeowners. From exposed brick or stone walls to sleek wood finishes, using natural materials is a minimalist dream or can easily complement any existing design. If you want to nail this look in your own home, you may want to start by incorporating furniture with a similar aesthetic.
Here are some of our expert tips for executing an organic feel through furniture in your home:
Don't be afraid to go big
Wooden coffee tables and wicker chairs are a staple in many homes, but natural furniture extends beyond the living room. Freshome points out the allure of unfinished wood all around the home. A handcrafted wooden table can be the staple piece of the dining room accompanied by reclaimed wood benches. An antique wooden bed frame is another show-stopper.
If you are simply in the market for some new living room furniture, you can't go wrong with incorporating couches and side tables made with natural materials – whether it be wood or other untouched textures or organic matter.
Think outside the wooden box
Wood is likely the first material you think of when trying to ace a natural style. Not only is it extremely durable, but the seemingly endless number of shades and finishes it comes in means it can be easily incorporated into any theme. However, there are other types of organic materials on the market as well. Leather, marble or stone can also be incorporated seamlessly into this aesthetic in couch cushions or tables, respectively.
Wood is just one material that creates an organic look in your home.Add natural textiles
To further emphasize the inspiration from nature in your furniture, it's important to incorporate similarly styled accessories. Medium recommends adding touches of organic materials to your space such as wool, cotton and linen. These fabrics will complement your new wood furniture and add some warmth to any room. Whether it's a linen throw pillow on your couch for summer or a wool blanket on your bed for cool winter nights, these textiles invite people in.
Also, don't forget to include these natural fabrics and textures in other ways like through rugs or the upholstery of your dining room chairs or living room furniture.
Accents bring it all together
While your natural home furniture will be the center of attention in any room, the accents around it really bring together the entire feel of the space. Consider adding artwork, centerpieces and other accessories inspired by the environment. This may mean swapping out your fake flowers for a fresh, seasonal bouquet or changing your synthetic placemats to organic woven ones.
