1 SUSTAINABILITY AND NATURAL MATERIALS

The world of interior design is joining this global revolution to be more environmentally conscious by using eco-friendly materials.

The introduction of sustainable and natural materials started in last year’s trend of biophilic design, which has a core concept of bringing the outdoors in.

This will continue this year but with more exploration of natural materials.

Upcycling and repurposing have gone beyond being economical, but have become more of an effort to help the environment by reducing waste and carbon footprint. Natural materials such as stone, reclaimed wood, bricks, wicker, terracotta, sisal or even cork will find their way into more homes in 2022. These materials not only help the environment, but also add warmth and a sense of calm. Did I mention they age beautifully through the years?
