Why natural materials in the home matter

Natural materials, as close to their raw state as possible, age gracefully and add warmth and texture to a home. The feeling of sinking into a bed layered with sundried linen is akin to a relaxing holiday and the heady scent of sumptuous full-grain leather is hard to replicate. Natural materials are a direct connection to the environment, and their authenticity has a grounding effect.

The materials we surround ourselves with have a profound impact on our health and wellbeing. As the healthier alternative to human-made synthetic fibres, natural materials emit fewer toxins, and they contain naturally occurring antibacterial properties. They can help keep you and your family healthy and comfortable all year round in a home that feels fresh and clean.

Choosing natural materials represents an eco-friendly way of creating a home. Their production requires less energy and little to no chemicals, and they are more recyclable and biodegradable than plastic-based products. They will sometimes come with a higher price tag compared to their synthetic equivalents, but the long-term benefits for both you and the environment are worth the investment.
