Embracing nature and the rise of biophilic & vernacular design in interior decor

In 2024, there has been a significant shift towards creating interior spaces that celebrate nature and sustainable practices. At the heart of this movement are Biophilic and Vernacular design principles, which emphasise the use of natural, locally sourced materials and traditional building practices to create spaces that feel organic, welcoming, and deeply connected to their surroundings.

Biophilic design is all about incorporating elements of nature into your home to create a calming and restorative environment. This concept emphasises natural materials, abundant light, and greenery. Integrating timber furniture pieces, such as a Jarrah slab coffee table or Marri wood shelving, can add a touch of nature to your living space. 

Vernacular design celebrates the use of local materials and traditional craftsmanship, creating spaces that reflect both the cultural and environmental contexts of the structure. Our use of Australian timbers like Jarrah and Marri embodies this principle, ensuring that each piece of furniture not only supports local industries but also resonates with the natural beauty and heritage of its region. Luckily for us, Western Australia is second to none when it comes to naturally beautiful and abundant landscapes

Let’s explore how you can adopt these concepts to inspire your next living room transformation!

Live-Edge furniture

Organic shapes and live-edge forms have made a significant comeback in modern design, offering a truly unique look and a rustic aesthetic compared to rigid, geometric lines. Live edge furniture retains the natural edge of the wood, showcasing its raw beauty and unique character. 

Coffee tables made from Jarrah or Marri with organic, live edges can serve as stunning centrepieces in your living room. Each table showcases the distinctive grain patterns and rich tones of the wood, and its live edges bring, not only a sense of flow and harmony but the raw, rustic charm of the Australian bush. 

One standout example is our Mapleton Raw Edge coffee table. Slab timber is always been a favourite with our customers, and the Mapleton coffee table is a true testament to the timeless beauty of Marri timber.

Statement shelving

Shelving doesn’t have to be just for storage—it can be a statement piece in your living room, showcasing the things you love in a way that harmonises with the rest of your space. 

Thick, solid timber slabs make excellent floating shelves for displaying books, plants, and decorative items. Open shelves add both style and functionality, providing a safe place to display and store decorative or sentimental items. 

Consider the Roleystone Display Unit, a beautiful combination of timber and white finishes. This display cabinet features wine racks on either side, offering plenty of storage and seamlessly blending style with practicality. Our Modern Timber Wine Racks are another elegant addition, designed to store your wine collection safely while adding a sophisticated touch to your living room decor. 

Decorative pieces 

Natural timber’s sculptural quality highlights its raw beauty and intricate grain patterns, making the material itself a unique work of art. Sculptural timber art pieces made from Jarrah or Marri wood can serve as stunning statement pieces, adding a touch of artistry to your living room. Additionally, custom picture frames in these woods can tie in smaller decor elements with larger timber furniture pieces, creating a unified and elegant decor theme. Blending Jarrah and Marri wood in the same room can create a rich, varied look. For instance, a Marri wood coffee table paired with Jarrah wood shelving can add depth and interest to your living space, showcasing the beauty and versatility of these timbers.

Artisanal & custom design pieces

Investing in artisanal, custom-made pieces not only adds a personal touch to your living space but also supports local industries. Unique, custom-made pieces bring individuality and charm to your space and will make your living room feel more authentically you.

Our Live-Edge River Tables blend the raw, organic beauty of natural wood with stunning colours and durability. These tables are an incredible feature for any room, mixing the old with the new, geometric shapes with organic forms, and modern ideas with timeless heritage.
