Use of Natural Materials in Home Decor

In the world of mass production, where every little thing is duplicated, nature has its exceptional way to keep everything distinct. Everything around us, every leaf and every branch is unique with a pattern of its own. In our own search for identity, all of us want to embrace the same quality- to stand out from the crowd. Everybody wants to make a personal statement and give a personal touch to everything around ourselves.

Nature provides us with abundant resources which we can harness to design a beautiful and exclusive home. We travel far and wide to come close to Mother Nature and behold its beauty, whereas we can also make it a part of our home. Bringing nature inside our house gives us an opportunity to connect with it. The use of natural material in our house decor brings peace to the atmosphere, improves our health and soothes our mood.


1. Mixing natural materials with stylish designs gives you a selective decor which is inspiring as well as eco friendly. It is a great way to give the modern interior decoration a twist that is aesthetically appealing and has a personality. Combine natural materials such as dry leaves, flowers, tree branches, tree bark, pine cones, beach pebbles, sea shells etc combined with wood, marble, glass, metal, ceramic, clay and stone to design to your furniture and landscape. Landscaping using natural material unveils your unique taste and compliments the interior decor of the house.

2. When you have a tight budget, natural materials is your best bet. All natural materials look gorgeous, and they can be used in any combinations to create fabulous pieces. The texture and appearance of the natural material along with your own ideas can be exploited to fabricate different articles that add character to your home.

It presents an ambience that is unmatched unlike the mass produced modern day furnishings which are expensive and go out-of-fashion very soon.

4. Not to mention that the articles made are highly sturdy and of superior quality.With proper maintenance they can serve you for a longer span of time and can even be passed over generations as an heirloom or antique. Some of the antiques made of natural material are available in the market from time-to-time at reasonable price; all you need is an eye for it.
