Back to the roots: natural and ethnic elements in interior design
Ethnic and eco style in the interior is often chosen by creative people, travel lovers, researchers of ancient cultures and everyone who appreciates warmth, comfort, bright contrasts and naturalness. You can also decorate a bedroom or living room in an original way, using the flavor of another country. Also, a person subconsciously wants to surround himself with natural materials, natural textures, perhaps this is due to genetic memory, the so-called call of ancestors.
Wood, stone, linen, cotton, clay, copper, etc., olive and others are suitable shades of natural timber, that is, the colors that artists call “earth.”

The basis of the interior can be a large object, for example, a dining table made of solid wood with uneven edges. In this case, the tree acts as a symbol of family unity, noble peace and protection.
To make the interior more natural and interesting, add some natural decoration elements and, for example, hang pictures or geographic maps, lay a carpet, buy a wooden or wicker chair, an unusual chest of drawers, plant a tropical tree in the bathtub.

Brick walls, wooden floors and ceilings, stone or ceramic decor, animal skins (or just a similar texture) will emphasize the identity of the interior.

Some pieces of furniture in the house can resemble animals or wild plants in their shape. Such things will make any interior more lively, more unusual and more friendly.

It is important to pay attention to the light: many dim light spots fit much better into the concept of natural and natural than a single bright ceiling lamp. Choose floor lamps and lamps made of natural materials, with ethnic prints or with a form and design reminiscent of wildlife.
Lanterns, squat tables, chests, bird figures – objects related to travel and adventure – harmonize with classic furniture and add excitement and inspiration to the interior.
In our age of high speed and technological advancement, it is important to create a place where you can take a break from the hustle and bustle, reconnect with nature and find harmony. Natural elements will help create an environment where it will be comfortable and easy for those who are tired of glass and concrete in stuffy cities.
