What is it? A design that emphasizes a connection to nature using natural materials, neutral colors, and live plants.
How to implement it? Use materials like reclaimed wood, natural stone, and bamboo. Add indoor plants such as large pots of monstera or ficus alongside small succulents and natural textiles like jute rugs, organic cotton cushions, and linen curtains.
Decorate rooms with shades of sand, brown, and olive green, focusing on furniture with a raw and simple look.
