Why It’s Time To Design With Cork

Cork is still a popular design trend and it’s easy to see why. Sustainable, stylish and creative, cork is a must-have. Here’s what you need to know about it and how to use it in your home.

It Packs On The Texture

Cork is buoyant and this gives it a really interesting texture that’s great for any area you want to makeover. For instance, using cork as wall tiles or as a doormat is an easy idea to add some texture to your space.

It’s Low-Maintenance

Cork is a material that’s very durable, so it means that any cork furniture you add to your home will last for many years. It’s also low-maintenance because it’s water-resistant. So, if you’re afraid of having wooden decor items or floors in your bathroom, choose cork instead!

It’s A Hot New Chandelier

This year, statement lighting is really trendy. Cork light fixtures as well as chandeliers give your home a creative and eye-catching touch because you wouldn’t expect cork to be a material used in lighting. It also puts a modern spin on the traditional chandelier which makes it intriguing.

It Can Be Rustic Or Classy

Cork can be used in a variety of different styles you’ve already got in your home. You might like cork to look as natural and rustic as possible which gives your room a warm look, or perhaps you prefer glossy cork that’s chic and stylish. There’s cork flooring and accessories to suit all of  your needs, while easing your green guilt because it’s very sustainable.

It Plays Well

One of the best things about cork is that it’s easy to mix and match it with other materials. It looks especially great when combined with glass, mosaic, and tiles, making cork the perfect interior design update for your home.
