Do you hanker after a refined interior with opulent surfaces that feels warm and inviting? The answer is in the finishes that you choose. Look to the beauty of precious materials such as marble, wood, stone and crystal for inspiration, and source furniture, surfaces and accessories that are enhanced by these stunning natural elements. The result is a collaboration of luxe finishes and calming natural connections that will improve your home and life’s quality.
So, whether you’re looking for a single addition to elevate a room, such as a standout mirror, or you’re eager to propel an entire room into star-studded status, the experts at Italian interior furniture company, Brummel, have identified four ways to create a luxurious look that remains connected to nature.
So, whether you’re looking for a single addition to elevate a room, such as a standout mirror, or you’re eager to propel an entire room into star-studded status, the experts at Italian interior furniture company, Brummel, have identified four ways to create a luxurious look that remains connected to nature.
Add a glow to natural stone
To create a five-star sleep space that’s a mix of opulence and tranquillity, look to combine a soothing marble surface with modern high gloss furniture. The subtle veining of natural marble and the silky reflectiveness of high gloss will both offer a wonderfully tactile feel when placed side by side.
To enhance this stunning combo even more, consider adding overhead lights, rather than side lamps, above your bed side tables. Not only will you bring out the beauty in both surfaces, you will also free up valuable surface space for bedtime rituals, like reading books and night beauty routines.
Style tip: Elements found in nature are most commonly curved and these flowing shapes can evoke calm feelings. To anchor this strong natural connection and create a relaxed sleep space, introduce furniture with curves and rounded ends.

Replicate nature
Love the cosiness of a warm neutral palette, but want to liven it up? Easy. Add striking feel-good textures that mimic elements of nature and any earthy tones will be elevated to the next level.
Here in this elegant kitchen, for example, the matt finish of the ribbed panelling contrasts with the high shine of the lacquered wood cabinetry. The look creates an eye-catching effect that’s reminiscent of water and gives the warm neutrals a graceful elegance.
Style tip: When creating a luxe effect, it’s all about the details. Here, the shimmering metal inserts along the top and bottom of the cabinetry act as ‘kitchen jewellery’ and provide an extra touch of glamour.

Reflect a view
Never underestimate the power of a verdant view for bringing a sense of tranquility into a bathroom. Use reflective surfaces to introduce elements from outdoors into the space.
In this stunning bathroom, the shower screen acts as a mirror to connect the bathroom with the calming tree outside the window, while the duo of Ziricote veneer matt finish and lacquered glossy wood finish on the mesmerising vanity continues the connection with nature by recalling its colour and textures.
Style tip: Go further and capture the soothing energy of water with a luxuriant stone flooring that conjures a dramatic seascape.

Warm up with wood
Introducing wooden elements into any space, whether it’s a bedroom or kitchen, will instantly evoke a warm, natural feel. If you’re swayed by rich, dark woods but worried it might make a space feel gloomy, try combining the finish with lighter surfaces in other parts of the space for balance.
For example, the designers of this incredible kitchen have ensured the space stays bright and fresh by contrasting deep brown Ziricote veneer cabinets with glass-fronted wall units to reflect the light.
It’s important to choose sustainable wood, and as Brummel’s timber is FSC-sourced you can be sure it’s environmentally-friendly.
Style tip: This exquisite cabinetry collection, named Ego, features a stylised leaf engraving, present on the kitchen’s frame and handles, offering yet another subtle yet significant natural connection. This style of cabinets can also be used in the living room, bathroom, or walk-in wardrobe to create a cohesive flow from room to room.
