Natural fibers, which are both beautiful and affordable, are becoming increasingly popular in the sphere of interior designing, particularly when it comes to furniture and rugs, as well as accessories. The natural look has taken the world of interior design by storm, and it's here to stay.

 

There are a number of advantages with using natural fibers and materials over synthetic ones. Natural fibers last longer and biodegrade naturally, which means they have a lower negative environmental impact. Natural materials are also more breathable, thermo regulating, and –in the case of some fibers – can cleanse and purify the air in your home environment than synthetic fibers.

Natural fiber furniture is great in both indoor and outdoor spaces. Despite their dainty appearance, they are exceptionally durable and also lightweight, low-maintenance, and don't cost much! 

Rattan furniture, stone accents, wool carpets and rugs, and bamboo beddings are all becoming extremely popular in homes around the world.

Here are natural fiber furniture and accessories your space has got to have:

1. Bamboo & Jute: the classic natural fibers

The value of bamboo and jute decor items in interior decoration is widely known. Jute handcrafts are affordable, stylish, and great for creating a welcoming, elegant aesthetic for your coffee table.

Don't be misled by the sleek exterior, the bamboo and jute furniture is strong and will outlast most of the pricey ottomans that people frequently buy.

2. Wicker & Rattan: natural fiber furniture

Natural fibers are popular in the design scheme because of their sheer simplicity. Rattan furnishings stand out from the rest of the natural fibers when it comes to baskets, picture frames, mirrors, and furniture.

To this day, rattan fiber houses are numerous and widespread in rural areas of south and south-east Asia.

Wicker is a furniture-making technique that involves weaving together strips of wood and other natural materials to create stunning designs. From sofas and chairs to armchairs and baskets, the raw appeal of wicker infuses a lovely touch of aesthetics and functionality to spaces.

Designers all around the world use wicker furniture to create functional and beautiful terraces, gardens, and patios. 

3. Sisal

Sisal is one of the most preferred natural fibers in the modern interior design scene, owing to its strong tensile strength. Decorative items are frequently hung with Sisal ropes and cords in the design community, regardless of the interior design style.

From minimalist interiors to artsy classic homes, Sisal is used in a variety of styles depending on the taste and preference of the owner.

4. Cotton

Great aesthetics, versatile, comfy, inexpensive? Cotton's got it all.

Cotton is one of the most widely utilized natural fibers in home decor. Soft cotton furnishings are used in practically every setting and interior design styles –from the most opulent villas to the most basic apartment interior designs.

Cotton textiles are used to create beautiful ambiances for curtains, bed sheets, and upholstery.

5. Linen

This is arguably the most overlooked natural fiber in the world of interior design.  Textiles and soft furnishings, overall, play a vital role in creating the feel of a space.

With this in mind, today's designers take complete liberty in using linen for blinds, sofa covers, cushions, and curtains. With varied patterns and colors, linen's versatility opens up a world of possibilities, instantly elevating the appeal of your interior spaces.

Linen textiles, like cotton, are pleasing to the eye, budget-friendly, low maintenance, and provide designers and decorators a wide range of options.

6. Wool

Wool is a superpower when it comes to natural fibers.

It's made up of various natural properties that allow it to purify the air, absorb moisture, prevent flames, regulate the temperature of your home, resist sweat, and block out unwelcome noise. Plus, it's naturally biodegradable.

When you choose wool for your carpets and rugs, you're not just creating a luxurious, inviting feel in your house, you're also helping make your home cleaner and safer.

7. Wood

It goes without saying that you should think carefully when deciding where to use natural fiber materials. The goal is to achieve a cohesive style by sticking to a consistent look and avoiding contradicting elements.

Wood is one of the best natural materials you can use, especially untreated wood.

Don't be over concerned about the grain because when it comes to wood, the real charm is found in its imperfections. Pallets or old fruit crates can be used as a repurposed wood. Plus, wood is great for both floors and walls.

You can also use clay items to accessorize, such as jars, vases, and bowls. You can even install clay tile flooring if you want to take it a step further. 

Natural fibers have a distinct natural appeal that complements contemporary interior design wonderfully. Natural fiber furniture is widely used by designers to soften a space or to produce instant functionality out of thin air!

Natural fibers are quite on-trend right now, and they will lend your home a natural, warm, and tasteful appearance.
