Sourcing with Integrity
Look for FSC or PEFC wood, Greenguard-certified finishes, and OEKO-TEX textiles to minimize toxins and deforestation. Ask suppliers for traceability documents and third-party audits. Share which certifications you trust most.
Sourcing with Integrity
Prioritize locally harvested stone or timber to reduce transport emissions, then blend in global craft where it adds unique function. Comment with your region and we’ll suggest nearby material sources and artisans.
Wood That Breathes
A reader salvaged rafters from a 1920s barn, planed them lightly, and revealed honeyed grain that glows at sunset. Beauty grew from history, not new logging. Share your reclaimed find and inspire someone’s next rescue.
Wood That Breathes
Walnut brings depth, ash keeps rooms airy, oak delivers strength and classic texture. Mix straight grain for calm surfaces with lively knotty accents. Which mood fits your living room? Tell us and get tailored species tips.
Stone, Clay, and Earth
Limewash and Clay Plaster
Limewash breathes, resists microbes, and reflects light softly; clay plaster regulates humidity and hides imperfections. Together they create quiet, matte walls. Ask in the comments for our sample recipe and beginner tools list.
Stone Beneath Your Feet
Slate cools summer rooms, limestone pairs beautifully with warm wood, and terrazzo made with recycled aggregates reduces waste. Share a photo of your floor and we’ll suggest practical care that preserves its natural patina.
Earthen Accents with Soul
Handmade terracotta, rammed-earth niches, and tadelakt showers bring tactility and ancient technique into modern life. Curious about sealing methods without synthetic films? Subscribe and we’ll send our natural sealers checklist.
Designing the Eco Palette
Borrow hues from river stones, dune grasses, and bark—muted greens, warm taupes, mineral grays. These palettes flatter wood grain and plant fibers. Post your current wall color and get a nature-based pairing suggestion.
Designing the Eco Palette
Rough-sawn oak beside limewashed walls and woven linen makes rooms feel alive without clutter. Mix coarse and fine textures for depth. Tell us your favorite combo; we’ll share three styling tweaks to enhance it.
Designing the Eco Palette
Orient seating toward views, mirror light with pale stone, and introduce leafy plants in clay pots for healthier air. Subscribe to receive our printable room layout prompts to map sightlines, shadows, and natural flows.
Care, Longevity, and Circularity
Soap-based cleaners, microfiber dusting, and seasonal oil refreshes keep wood and fibers resilient. Avoid harsh solvents that strip natural finishes. Comment with a stubborn mark story, and we’ll troubleshoot a gentle fix.
Care, Longevity, and Circularity
Patch clay plaster with a small batch, plug a wood dent with steam and patience, rebind a rattan joint with natural cane. Share your repair wins to motivate others and reduce needless waste together.
