Sourcing with Integrity
Choose FSC-certified oak, ash, or teak for trays, frames, and stools. Responsibly harvested wood carries history in its grain, gaining character with every touch and spill. Tell us where your favorite wooden accessory began its journey and why it matters.
Sourcing with Integrity
Rattan is a climbing palm, remarkably strong and light; jute and seagrass bring breathable structure to baskets and mats. Handwoven pieces ventilate produce, corral toys, and soften hard corners. Comment with the fiber that best suits your home’s rhythm and needs.
The Quiet Drama of Linen
Woven from flax, one of humanity’s oldest fibers, linen carries a gentle slub that diffuses light and invites calm. Napkins, runners, and curtains crease beautifully with life. Share your linen rituals, from Sunday breakfasts to candlelit evenings that feel unhurried.
The Comfort of Wool and Cotton Blends
Wool’s lanolin repels moisture and moderates temperature, while cotton adds softness and easy care. Throws, poufs, and cushion covers welcome bare feet and afternoon naps. Which blend keeps you comfortable year-round? Tell us how it changes with seasons in your space.
Care and Longevity
Oiling, Waxing, and Patina
Food-safe mineral oil restores wooden boards; beeswax nourishes handles and bowls, encouraging a soft sheen rather than a glossy coat. Embrace patina as earned character, not damage. What’s your oiling schedule? Share tips that keep your wooden essentials resilient and ready.
Sunlight, Humidity, and Breathable Storage
Direct sun can fade jute and linen; swings in humidity may warp wood or stress rattan bindings. Use breathable cotton bags, silica packs, and gentle airflow. Tell us where you store seasonal pieces and how your climate shapes your care routines.
Real Homes, Real Moments
We added a low jute basket by the front door for shoes, scarves, and library books. The rush to leave softened; small hands knew exactly where to look. Share the humble accessory that gives your mornings a calmer rhythm.
Real Homes, Real Moments
A sand-speckled pitcher, slightly imperfect, pours lemonade for neighbors in summer and gravy in winter. Its handle fits every hand differently. Which natural piece anchors your gatherings? Post a photo and tell us the first meal it witnessed.
Styling Principles with Natural Material Home Accessories
Group three pieces with varied heights and related tones—perhaps pale ash, warm rattan, and a dark walnut accent. Let grains and weaves converse. Try a trio today and share a snapshot, noting how the arrangement changed the room’s mood.
