Earthy Interior Design Living Room Ideas

Warm, natural tones

Warm, natural colours play a big part in an earthy interior design scheme. Muted shades of brown, beige, green, and rust add depth and warmth to a bedroom interior, transforming it into a relaxing haven of calm.

Bringing the outside world in

Connecting the indoors with the outdoors is a task which you can strive to achieve by placing elements of nature in each room of your home. Stacks of chopped wood next to the fire, leafy garlands on walls and pretty house plants on shelves are all present in this charming Scandi-inspired living room.

Seasonal and local

The more local and seasonal products you buy for your interior, the less carbon footprint your home will use. Visit artisan markets to discover local craftspeople and find one-of-a-kind furniture and accessories, and when it comes to filling your house with plants and flowers, find out what’s in season and which varieties come from nearest to your area.

Simple accessories

Simplicity is key to an earthy home. Therefore, keep things minimal and uncluttered on surfaces and shelving in your kitchen. Organise grains and pulses in recycled glass jars, and opt for natural wood accessories such as chopping boards and utensils.

Shades of green

Green is a colour that is symbolic of the earth. Therefore what better colour to use as a key theme around your earth-inspired home? Play around with a range of green shades in each room, from the forest green of Galapagos to the soft muted tones of Good Earth. These green shades blend beautifully with neutral beiges and taupes for a soft, relaxed feel.

Add texture with wooden cladding

Wooden coverings don’t have to be reserved for just floors and countertops. Track down reclaimed wooden timber cladding from local suppliers and feature it on walls in a lounge or bedroom for a true organic harmony.

Use rustic accents

Use rustic accents such as wooden crates, vintage books, and one-of-a-kind antiques to add oodles of character and personality to your living room. 

Look for pieces with natural patinas and imperfections to really highlight that earthy feel. Natural textures like woven fabrics, jute rugs, and handmade pottery are also lovely.

Over-the-top foliage

An earthy interior can afford to go over the top with foliage. Create an inside garden with plenty of plants such as snake plants, fiddle leaf figs, and succulents. Not only do they add a huge natural element to the room, but they also help purify the air. 

You can also grow certain herbs, fruits and vegetables indoors, providing you have adequate natural light and air circulation in the area.

Maximise natural light

Make use of natural light by keeping windows exposed or open as much as possible. This will allow plenty of natural light to fill the room and create a bright and airy atmosphere. 

If you need privacy, sheer voile or linen curtains or blinds work really well in an earthy, organic space.

Feel free to mix-match

Nothing in nature is ever truly perfect. Therefore replicate this in your home interior with one-off pieces and mix-match furniture and accessories. 

Play with a range of natural textures and don’t be afraid to add pops of colour to an otherwise neutral space.
