(BPT) Natural materials add notes of strength and serenity to a space, while simultaneously revitalizing the overall aesthetic. These elements not only represent the distinct beauty found in nature, but also can serve as unique statement pieces that bring handcrafted modernity into a home. Designers incorporate natural materials to create a soothing, yet energized aesthetic that creates a sense of intrinsic luxury.
Organic Elements
Exploring natural materials can introduce a sense of refined serenity into interior design. Include elements inspired by nature, such as a concrete fixture or bluegrass wall coverings, for a rich, organic feel. Channel both the simplistic and complex energy found in nature through distinct materials.
Compositional Distinction
The addition of natural materials brings inherent compositional variations to a space, from a hand-carved soapstone chair to a side table crafted from driftwood. Aesthetically anchor the bath or bar space with the Vettis Concrete Single-Handle Faucet by Brizo for a blend of raw materials and an exquisite geometric form. An infusion of pure charcoal provides a signature hue, while the hand-poured concrete gives each faucet a unique texture, color and style. Juxtapose the faucet with a polished granite sink, or mounted wooden shelving, to accentuate the strength of nature.
Living Accents
Channel natural beauty by hanging a chandelier made of iron and rock crystal in the dining room, adding a stunning focal point that reflects and refracts light throughout the space. Accent a window-scape with succulent terrariums to awaken the living space, or select a metal planter with a sculptural bonsai or jasmine vine to incorporate botanic texture and elegance.
Natural Variations
Create a cohesive environment using classic, yet organic tones, exploring blends of warm taupe, gray-blue and forest green to enhance the overall aesthetic with an innately natural aura. Layer in unique elements inspired by nature, such as textured linen wallpaper, to round out a holistic, yet upscale approach to interior design. For a finishing touch, light a lemongrass beeswax candle, infusing the space with energizing aromatherapy.
