Coastal interior design has taken a back burner over the last few years as minimalist and Scandinavian styles have ruled, but it’s making something of a comeback with nature luxe. 

Nature luxe is a new home decor trend that brings the outdoors inside, combining natural elements like plants with luxury touches like gold fixtures.

Key features include:

• Colors: Green, blue, soft brown, and shiny metallics 
• Materials: Natural wood, linen, bamboo
• Inspiration: Coastal and woodland themes
• Aim: Create a tranquil, nature-inspired interior
• Popular rooms: Living spaces, bathrooms, bedrooms
• Benefits: Stress relief, connection to nature
• Complementary trends: Biophilic design, botanical patterns

A nature-lux space evokes a sense of mindfulness, well-being, and connection with nature, which is translated into home décor. It’s a fantastic addition to your bedroom if you want a luxurious and grounded retreat.

How to get the look

Color schemes 

Nothing screams nature luxe more than earthy neutrals – warm beiges, soft browns, and creamy whites are perfect.  

When you want a pop of greenery, soothing sages, olives, and rich forest hues are perfect for walls, textiles, plants, and botanical prints on your bedding and curtains. 

Blue can add another dimension to your bedroom by evoking the sky and sea, or you can go for soft blue-grays and deeper teals.

Pepper in gold and brass tones with light fixtures and art frames to enhance your earthy colours and create a touch of luxury. 

Bed frame

Natural materials like solid wood, bamboo, and rattan are perfect for your nature luxe makeover because they add warmth, texture, and a sense of authenticity to your bedroom.

Bed frames with clean lines and simple silhouettes that evoke a sense of calm and low-profile options can create a grounded feel, enhancing the connection to nature. 

A few options:

• Birlea Margot (rattan, oak finish, pictured below)
• Willis Gambier Etienne (rattan, white, luxurious, pictured below)

If you prefer a bit more luxury, an upholstered headboard in natural fabrics like linen or cotton works well. Complete the look with organic bedding in earthy tones and natural fiber throws and cushions for additional texture.

Furniture 

Light wood and white furniture are perfect for your natural lux bedroom—chests like the Julian Bowen Sydney 5-drawer Chest and wardrobes like the Julian Bowen Sydney 2-drawer Wardrobe work very well. 

To increase the sense of visual space in your bedroom, furniture that’s slim and tall, rather than fat and wide, is best. Add storage upwards, not outwards.

Plants galore

Place a tall palm, weeping fig tree, money tree, or devil’s ivy in the corner of your bedroom and let its greenery bring your space to life. 

You can even get self-watering planters to make life easier (these ask you to add water once per month) or just choose plants that thrive on neglect. 

Faux plants offer convenience but lack character. If you must go for something fake, buy the realest-looking model—fake bamboo usually works well. 

Decorative pieces

Marble, granite, and onyx in small doses, such as on side tables, countertops, and decorative objects, are fantastic for adding a touch of luxury. 

Clear or slightly tinted glass vases, decanters, and light fixtures are also perfect for adding a whiff of sparkle and refinement.

Nature-inspired paintings or photographs can serve as focal points, bringing artistic flair to your space while reinforcing the connection to the outdoors.

Summing up 

Nature luxe brings the outdoors inside with huge houseplants, earthy textures, and stylish décor with gold, brass, and tinted color tones. 

The aim is airiness, so try to capture the feeling of enjoying your favourite outdoor spaces, such as the woods, beach, or local park, indoors.
