A minimalist and natural decoration

For several years now, nature has been returning to the heart of interior decoration, and it comes in different forms. Whether it's about incorporating more plants in your home or opting for eco-friendly wooden furniture, there are numerous ways to choose a more natural decor. So how can you give a natural touch to your decoration? We explain everything!

Materials from nature

If you want to bring a touch of nature to your interior, the choice of materials will make all the difference. Indeed, there are a multitude of natural materials used in decoration such as wood, but also linen, cotton, etc. Turning to this type of material will allow you to give a more natural atmosphere to your decoration, as well as make more eco-responsible choices.

Eco-friendly wooden furniture

You can, for example, opt for eco-friendly wooden furniture. These are wooden furniture pieces made from sustainably managed forests. You can easily recognise eco-friendly wooden furniture as they have the PEFC label. You can choose this type of furniture throughout the house, especially in spaces occupied by children.

Indeed, more than eco-friendly wooden furniture, you can prioritise furniture that respects the planet as well as everyone's well-being. This is the case, for example, with eco-friendly wooden furniture with low formaldehyde panels or solvent-free paints. The presence of volatile organic compounds is thus limited. This type of eco-friendly wooden furniture can be chosen as teen furniture or children's bed, but also as baby furniture. Whether it's a bed, a changing table or a Montessori furniture, we always recommend prioritising eco-friendly wooden furniture that also preserves everyone's well-being.

These recommendations apply to furniture in children's rooms, but also throughout the house. Indeed, it is possible to apply these criteria to all sorts of products such as a wooden bookshelf or a wooden garden furniture for example. Giving a touch of nature to your decoration allows you to enhance its style, but also to make more eco-responsible choices.

Natural textiles

Beyond eco-friendly wooden furniture, you can incorporate natural materials into your decoration through textile elements. Linen, cotton, and also bamboo are natural fibres that can be used to create all sorts of objects such as bed sheets, cushions, curtains or even mattresses. Favouring these materials allows you to opt for a more beautiful finish, healthier textiles, and also more durability over time. Natural textiles also help create a warm and cosy interior (more tips for creating this type of atmosphere here).

Moreover, favouring natural textiles is interesting for interior decoration, but it's also true when it comes to clothing.

The rattan and straw trend

Still with the idea of choosing materials from nature, opting for decorative objects in rattan or straw will also be an excellent idea. Hanging lights, storage baskets, chairs... There are many objects and furniture items that are made by weaving with these materials. Very trendy, these decorative objects give a touch of nature to your interior in the blink of an eye!

Natural colours

The colours chosen for your interior decoration will also set the tone. For a natural touch, we recommend favouring nature's colours, namely blues, greens, browns, beiges, etc. The trend is towards raw materials. You can therefore opt for eco-friendly wooden furniture that retains the colour of the wood essence or is just patinated. You can also favour textiles with soft and natural colours, opt for neutrals, create a harmony of browns and beige with small touches of colour, etc.

To find inspiration regarding colour combinations, don't hesitate to take a look at social media to get plenty of ideas.

Plants to brighten it all up

Finally, no more natural interior without adding plants! It's the essential asset for a more natural and healthier environment. Fortunately, there are a multitude of species for those with a green thumb and for those who tend to forget to water. For this, we recommend turning to the recommendations of a professional garden centre. You will thus be able to discover all sorts of plants for the interior, but also for the exterior depending on the space you have, the orientation of your living space, etc. If having a plant is new to you, maybe start with just one at first and then add new species over the months.

Moreover, plants can have a real utility in an interior. They can help purify the air, for example. You can also favour aromatic plants in your kitchen and thus have fresh basil, parsley, chives and other aromatic herbs throughout the year. Today, there are even tricks that will allow you to water your plants regularly without having to worry about it.

Soothing, plants will allow you to create a more natural and more pleasant environment on a daily basis. They can also be a way to share time with your children by teaching them to take care of living things and sometimes even to reap the fruits of this patience with a small indoor vegetable garden, for example.
