Decor trends - Raw and Rustic

Going au naturel always looks great - be it in fashion or in the modern home for a simple, clean, raw look.Bring out the natural, earthy elements in the materials used in your home with exposed brick, beautiful wood and stone surfaces.

What I love the most about highlighting the natural elements in your home is that it gives your space a bit of edge and a sense of adventure!

There are different colour schemes that can be used for a raw and rustic feel - greens, browns and greys. This brings the feel of nature into the home to create a warm and cosy atmosphere. Consider using neutral colours to bring out the colour of the wood grain furniture or floors and then having dark kitchen cabinets to make an exposed brick wall pop.

This earthiness can also be expressed in the type of fabric that you use for area rugs, cushions, upholstery and window treatments - natural and pure instead of synthetic and printed.

More and more today, designers and consumers are looking for a way to involve more of the natural in their lives and living spaces - from processed to organic.
