It's always good to go green, and using Organic materials is a step in that direction. The term 'Organic' refers to all materials that are derived from nature, and thus these materials will bring an earthy feel to your home. What's more, they are biodegradable and help the environment. So while you can't entirely ditch plastic, glass and metal in your home, you can minimize their use by incorporating more organic materials like jute, cotton, stone, mud and wood. All of these are easily available, but if you are wondering how to use these to enhance the beauty of your home, our 6 tips here will definitely help you. So open the doors of your home, and welcome these organic materials with style!

Jute carpets and cushion covers

A simple way to bring in a touch of jute to any room is to lay out a jute carpet on the floor. Be it a simple jute carpet like the one in this room that brings in a definite rustic touch to even the most modern space, or a more elaborate dyed or embroidered one that gives a modern spin to this organic material, jute carpets are available in many shapes, sizes and styles in the market these days. Pick one that suits your taste and budget. If you want to bring in jute in a smaller way in your home, go for jute cushions like this embroidered one which is simple yet beautiful.

Cotton bedspreads, quilts and curtains

Another great organic material that is both easily available, and can be used at home without much hassle, is cotton. So be it cotton bedsheets, pillow covers and quilts with vibrant ethnic prints like the one's here curated by CATHERINE LANSFIELD HOME, or breezy cotton curtains with tropical leafy prints, you can use and celebrate this fabric in many ways in your home. Cotton is easy to clean and maintain, and is quite durable too. Just keep in mind some of the vegetable dyes used for printing on cotton often bleed, so wash them with care.

Stone tiles

Stone is one the most durable organic materials, it doesn't break easily, is safe from wear and tear, and it doesn't even stain very easily. So you should definitely use it in your home. You can incorporate it in your home in the form of tiles, be it on the floor like here, or on a feature wall, or even on the backsplash of your kitchen. Stone tiles have a distinct earthy look, and will definitely add a rustic charm to your home. You can use rugged uneven stone tiles to give your home a more country style look, or use polished muted stone tiles like here for a subtle and classy impact.

Brick walls

If stone is a great organic option for flooring, brick walls are the perfect way to go for giving your walls an organic touch. Be it a basic unpainted brick wall that is perfect for a bachelor's loft, or a dark painted brick feature wall in a young couple's living room, brick walls can be reinvented in many ways. Sometimes you can expose a brick wall in an apartment by just scraping off the paint from one of the walls. You can even give this organic material a modern spin by painting it and leaving some portions unpainted, like the 'map of the world brick wall' in this room designed by BN INTERNATIONAL.

Mud wall

If you want to go the whole organic hog, you should build a mud wall in your home. In urban apartments though, this might be a challenge. You may not be allowed to build a wall in your apartment with mud, as this may affect the architecture and durability of the entire building. But if you have a home of your own, you can try this organic idea. Be it a wall in your patio, or a wall inside you home to separate an existing space into two, you can add a mud wall with very little hassle. Placing plants around, or ivies and creepers on such a wall will enhance its rural beauty.

Wooden furniture

Finally, the simplest way to incorporate organic materials in your home, and the one that you probably are already doing without realizing, is to have wooden furniture in your home. Simple wooden furniture with a basic varnish coat, can make this organic material shine in your home. And why just furniture incorporate wood in your home through your doors, windows, flooring or even utensils! A wooden chopping board can be the perfect addition to your modern kitchen. And talking of kitchen, do you want to whip up a good meal without sweating it out? Here's how you can have fun while cooking at home!
