Interior Designer Victoria Hagan applauds the character in the small details of nature. “I’ve…placed a new emphasis on natural materials, including a celebration of their imperfections,” she adds. “We’ve all certainly learned that life is not always perfect.”

The trend using natural motifs has always been an important part of design in home decor, but now we’re embracing and artisan approach combining natural materials and natural motifs. It’s an intentional mix of materials incorporating a blend of textures. In this approach imperfections are embraced and natural variations are celebrated.

The introduction of nature in the home is soothing and seductive. How did we live without blurring our interiors and the outdoors? We encourage gentle landscape lighting at windows and doors, focusing on the structure or interesting bark of a tree or shrub, and pots planted with seasonal materials. It’s a joy in the evenings, especially in winter, but all year round. And in the house the use of wicker, reed and rattan, fashioned with mixed metals celebrate nature in lighting fixtures.
