Decorating with Natural Materials
Living in a state of perpetual sunshine, Florida homes are masters at blurring the lines between indoors
and out. Which makes bringing the outdoors in seem like second nature.
Lucky for those of us who get to experience living the Florida lifestyle firsthand, one of the top interior design trends of
2022 centers around adding natural elements to your home. Think raw and earthy, organic with an edge, neutral color
palettes. Here, we’ll show you how to get back to basics using furniture in a mix of materials to create a space that uses
organic elements as its muse.
Classic Cane
With its inherent ability to transcend time and trends, it’s no wonder cane furniture has staying power.
It’s highly durable, too, making it a smart choice for sunrooms and covered patios. The thing we love most about
cane is that it gets along with everything, blending effortlessly with so many décor styles as well as design eras, like
our classic Barrel Back Chair.
This resort-worthy armchair infuses your space with that laid-back, luxe look that distinguishes the Southwest Florida style.
Sturdy cane in a lattice design is paired with an upholstered seat and a loose back pillow covered in creamy performance
fabric. Paying homage to the coastal-inspired aesthetic, the legs, arms and X-style stretcher are finished in a dreamy
driftwood finish that’s been distressed for the authentic patina of time.
Refined Rattan
Lightweight and lovely, but exceeding strong and durable, rattan furniture strikes the perfect balance between
warm and welcoming and chic and sophisticated. A natural material made of dried palm, rattan’s woven texture is
instantly recognizable. It’s a great neutral that balances all the boldness in a room to create a more serene environment,
making every day feel like you’re on a vacation.
With its earthy, rattan-wrapped frame, our Long Key Console Table instantly adds warmth and a feeling of familiarity,
whether placed in an entryway, home office or behind a sofa. Ample space up top creates the perfect perch for stacks
of books, floral arrangements and decorative objects. A shelf below provides added room for grab-and-go items like keys
or sunglasses.
Wooden Wonders
Wood furniture has the power to change the dynamic of a room, and with so many different shapes, sizes
and finishes to choose from, your options are endless.
Looking for that coastal-inspired vibe? Consider pieces in a pure white or seadrift shade. Trying to trend a little
more traditional? You can’t go wrong with a deep mahogany or rich cherry hue. You can even mix materials like
metal and a slab of rough-hewn wood for an industrial edge, or a light wood base topped with polished marble for
an elegant touch.
Our Round Cocktail Table makes the art of mixing materials seamless. With variations in wood grain and markings,
planks of reclaimed wood are joined by aged iron metal to create two tiers for storage and display. Knots, nicks and
imperfections that speak to the wood’s provenance are what makes this rustically refined piece so interesting.
Even better? No two tables will be exactly alike.
Luxe Leather
A leather upholstered sofa complements virtually any interior. In a word, it’s timeless. Easy to maintain and highly
durable, this rich, supple material develops a gorgeous patina over time that only enhances its natural beauty.
Our Natuzzi Destrezza Sofa’s clean lines keep the look transitional, working well with both traditional and modern
interiors alike. Leaning toward the mid-century modern aesthetic, it’s marked by track arms and three-over-three
cushion alignment.
Calming Curves
Organically shaped furniture will reign supreme in 2022. Deviating from their straight-lined counterparts, rounded
pieces tend to make spaces feel cozier, imparting a sense of tranquility.
Our HEIDI Sectional perfectly captures that feeling, with its conversation-inducing crescent design that takes its
cue from nature’s serene shapes. Offering luxurious comfort with a sustainable spin, it is thoughtfully upholstered
in fabric made from recycled water bottles.
Bringing natural materials into your space is easier than you might think. We’d love to show you how.
