When you’re creating the interior design for a home it can be easy to take the traditional route or let things be as they are. However, if you want to challenge yourself and mix it up a little, we’ve got the ultimate guide on natural textures and elements in interior design for you.

Natural textures have been severely underutilized in the last two decades, with the emphasis on minimalism and synthetics. However, as trends change, nature is now coming back to feature heavily in interior design. Here’s how you can do it too!

All-Out Hardwood Floors

As obvious by our name and what we do, our biggest passion is getting you premium and Custom Hardwood Floors Seattle that will enhance the beauty of your home. Hardwood flooring made from real, genuine wood is biodegradable, sturdy and just feels like luxury.

Hardwood floors are a relic of the ‘70s and can evoke a nostalgic feeling, but that’s not where the appeal ends. Hardwood flooring can be refreshed easily, and the neutral brown goes well with a range of color palettes.

A Warm Fireplace

Natural elements can also include fire and water, and while having a water element indoors can be hard, a warm fireplace can do wonders for your home’s aesthetic. A fireplace built in brick adds a new texture to the mix while creating a cozy spot for you and your family to relax in.

With Christmas 2020 fast approaching, if your fireplace has been blocked off or neglected, you may want to get it spruced up so that it adds to the holiday décor.

Statement Stone Walls

Have you ever considered getting a wall that showcases the natural texture of stone? Stone and rock are one of the most versatile natural categories around. From light sandstone to exposed brick walls, rock walls are a must!

One small insider trick on stone is that you don’t have to stay within the sandy-brown color shades for stone walls. Slate is a type of stone that’s ashier and can add a wonderful sleek look to your design as well.

Textured Upholstery Fabrics

Moving beyond leather or silky fabrics for upholstery can be a huge shift too. Try looking for jute-based fabrics that have a natural roughness in them or go the other way entirely and add velvet for some unique textures.

Subtle Hardwood Accents

If you haven’t already gotten sick of wood, we’d recommend adding wooden beams or trim on your windows and doors from hardwood. Base shoes, wall panels, crown molding, floor vents or even some shelves are a great way to incorporate this into your interior design.
