When you go to your nearest DIY store for all the materials for your next decorating project, you’ll probably stick to all the usual stuff. Things like MDF, plyboard, and glass. But why just stick to all the same old boring materials, when there are so many cool avant-garde ones you could be playing around with in your home? Not knowing anything about them isn’t an excuse anymore. Here’s a blog post dedicated to everything you need to know about using unusual materials in your home.
Bamboo
Native to Asia, you’ll probably know bamboo as the favorite food of pandas! But did you know this fast-growing tree can also be used in a variety of ways around the home? One popular use is on floors.There are many advantages of bamboo flooring. It is a highly durable material so will last a long time, even with people walking over it a lot. It is also low maintenance and very cost effective. Once you have it installed, you won’t have to pay much to maintain it.
Faux Leather
Adding leather to your decor can certainly create a decadent air to any room, but it would be very expensive to cover your walls in real leather. Those on a budget can always opt for faux leather, though. This material is made out of rubber but feels the same as the real deal. There are three shades to choose from: chocolate, black, and neutral. This versatile material can really add a depth of warmth to your room, especially bathrooms.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel isn’t just for cutlery! This metal has fantastic potential and can add a contemporary style to your interiors. What’s more, it easily wipes clean, so you don’t have to worry about your kids’ sticky fingers! You can use it in your staircases or light fixtures and fittings. There are also lots of decorative features made with stainless steel, including photo and mirror frames.
Natural Fabrics
Lots of people are beginning to use natural fabrics in their homes. All because they are a great way to increase your home’s carbon-friendliness. Hemp is particularly popular right now and can be found in cushions, blankets, and rugs. No matter the style of your decor, you will be able to find natural fabrics to suit. It’s possible to keep your rooms minimal and free from the clutter of cushions and rugs. Buy some stylish drapes made out of natural fabrics instead.
Chalkboard Paint
It is now possible to buy paint that creates a chalkboard effect once dry. Can’t stop your kids from doodling on their bedroom walls? Then this could be your solution! Paint one of their walls in this chalkboard paint, and they will be able to write and draw on it with chalk as much as they like! Simply wipe their scribbles away with a damp cloth. This is also a fantastic way of incorporating your child’s art into the design of your interiors!
So why stick to boring materials when you can have fun with these trendy ones?!
