‘Natural materials not only reinforce our connection with nature, but they also last much longer with everyday wear and tear than synthetic materials. Consider a secondhand wooden dining table as the marks of wear will only add to its charm and beauty. Replace plastic cupboard handles with wooden or metal alternatives as an inexpensive way to incorporate natural materials into your home.’
