Natural lookbook: homes that exude tranquillity

The natural style aims to create interiors that convey a sense of calm and maintain a constant connection with the materials and colours found in nature. Wood, plant fibres, fabrics and so on create warm spaces in which every element seems to form part of the whole.

Lighting also plays a part in this aesthetic. Lamps can take centre stage in a room or blend discreetly into the rest of the décor.

In this lookbook, we explore different spaces to discover how to create a cosy home full of personality.

Natural materials that transform a space

One of the most recognisable features of this style is the use of materials that retain their original texture and appearance.

Wood, rattan, bamboo, jute, linen, cotton, stone and ceramics can all coexist within the same room without the result feeling cluttered. The key is to maintain a consistent colour palette and let the textures provide the depth.

Lamps are a particularly simple way to incorporate these materials. A woven lampshade or a wooden frame can transform the feel of a room, even when the rest of the furniture is fairly neutral.

Lighting can also add texture

Light fittings made from natural materials serve a dual purpose: they provide light and add texture to the space.

Fibre lampshades, for example, can create interesting patterns of light and shadow when the lamp is switched on, whilst wood lends a warmer visual feel.

That is why natural lighting can be a simple way to introduce this style without having to completely transform the room.

Natural-style living and dining rooms

Living rooms in the natural style tend to favour a comfortable and visually uncluttered layout. Light-coloured sofas, wooden tables and fibre rugs create a calm backdrop against which it is easy to incorporate different types of lighting.

In the dining room, a pendant light can become the element that ties the whole composition together. As well as lighting the table, it helps to visually define the area.

Recreate this atmosphere

Start by creating a base of neutral tones and warm materials, then add various light sources.

A natural hanging lamp can take centre stage above the dining table, whilst a natural floor lamp next to the sofa helps create a more relaxed atmosphere when you don’t need to use the main lighting.

You can also add a small table lamp on a side table to create a third level of lighting.

Style tip: try to ensure that the lamps share some element with the rest of the décor. Simply repeating materials, shades or certain textures will do.

Open-plan spaces and a connection to the outdoors

The natural style draws much of its inspiration from the outdoor landscape. That’s why open-plan spaces, large windows and layouts that allow light to flow through different areas of the home work so well.

Indoor plants help to enhance this feeling, but there’s no need to turn the house into a garden. Using natural materials, placing plants near the main sources of light and keeping windows visually unobstructed helps to make the space feel brighter and more connected to the outdoors.

A lamp made of wood or plant fibres can reinforce this sense of continuity even when switched off, whilst also serving as a decorative feature during the day.

Natural bedrooms

In the bedroom, the natural style takes on a particularly relaxed feel.

The combination of light fabrics, wood, soft colours and warm lighting helps to create an atmosphere designed for unwinding.

Here, lamps can be used as small points of light near the bed, avoiding the need to rely solely on a central light source.

Recreate this bedroom

Table lamps work well on bedside tables and side tables because they allow you to introduce different materials and textures without taking centre stage.

Natural wall lamps are another good option when you want to free up space on the bedside table.

You can also replace traditional lamps with small pendant lights fitted on either side of the bed to create a more original look.

For lighting intended for the end of the day, opt for warm lighting that complements the bedroom’s relaxed atmosphere.

Plants, crafts and little touches

The natural style does not depend solely on large pieces of furniture or the materials used on walls and floors.

Small objects help to make the space feel personal: handmade pottery, woven baskets, vases, etc. can gradually build up this aesthetic.

Look for textured pieces

Slightly irregular materials help to prevent the space from feeling too flat.

A woven screen or a table where the wood grain is visible can add more character than a large number of small decorative items.

Introduce some greenery

Plants add colour, texture and a connection to the outdoors.

You can mix and match plants of different sizes or use branches, dried leaves and simpler plant arrangements when you’re looking for a more understated look.

Leave space between the elements

A nature-inspired home doesn’t need to be cluttered with objects.

Leaving space around furniture and decorative pieces allows materials, light fittings and textures to have a greater visual impact.
