When decorating a room, it's easy to put all your focus on color matching and proper spacing, but don't forget the importance of texture during your next redesign project. Utilizing various finishes is a subtle way to add more personality and depth to a room, which in turn can make it feel more cozy and intentionally designed. Different textures lend themselves better towards different aesthetics; for example, natural wood or stone materials can help your home achieve an organic style. While it's tempting to incorporate natural textures in your home by simply buying some new wooden or rattan furniture, doing so is sure to add unnecessary costs to your design budget. Instead, inexpensively give your space an organic feel by enhancing the natural light, and adding lots of plants, shells, rocks, and other natural items.

It's possible to give your living space a complete makeover by simply embracing the organic textures that are already present, which includes the feel of natural light. Start by getting rid of any furniture or decor that makes the room feel more cluttered, and choose the right window treatment for your purposes. Then, hit up your local flea market (or just take a walk in your own backyard) to find bits of nature that can double as room decoration, like sea shells or chunks of driftwood. And of course, be prepared to introduce a lot more indoor plants.

To maximize the amount of natural light your home gets, be sure your windows aren't overly tinted and choose the right covering, such as sheer curtains. Or, stick with the earthy theme with a set of Arlo bamboo blinds. Window coverings are an oft-overlooked component of interior design, but they can be as stylish as they are functional, and complement the other natural decor in your space. Along with adorning your home with items that you would actually find out in the wild like cool rocks or reclaimed wood, handmade decor fashioned out of things like hemp, wicker, wool, or other trendy natural materials that are taking over interior design can also make the indoors feel more outdoorsy.

As you might imagine, real indoor plants are one of the best ways to add organic flair to a home. Not only do they make a space look more comfortable and fresh, they actually make it feel that way by improving the air quality. Even just a few low-maintenance succulents can add pops of natural texture to your home, and there are plenty of other hassle-free houseplants that anyone can keep alive. It's also easy to customize plants to your space by using a rattan, wood, or stone pot depending on the exact organic style you're going for.
