Increasingly popular, raw materials are at the heart of trends for creating a living space that’s both authentic and warm. They provide a unique look and a welcoming atmosphere that lasts all year round.

Raw Materials

Wood: We know that wood, in all its forms, offers incomparable richness. Whether you opt for raw wood, barn wood, or painted wood, it adds character and texture to a room while also being an excellent thermal insulator.

Brick: We often see it in Montreal homes, and for good reason! It’s warm and authentic. Its raw texture offers a unique style, but it can also be painted to match the decor.

Natural Stone and Concrete: Natural stone, whether in a matte or aged finish, retains its authentic appearance. Concrete, a particularly durable material, is reinventing itself with a multitude of colors to create a warmer effect. Here’s a little tip: you can combine several raw materials for an even more welcoming result!

Decorative Elements

Decor also plays a crucial role. Simple elements can transform the atmosphere and create a welcoming atmosphere.

Rugs: A well-chosen rug can transform an entire room. To increase the feeling of warmth, choose rugs with long pile and warm colors (red, orange, etc.). Exotic patterns are also an excellent option for adding style and warmth.

Colors: As we know, warm colors like red, orange, or yellow can add warmth to a room. The trick is to contrast them with cooler tones or raw materials to create a harmonious balance.

Decorative Objects: Simple accessories like cushions or curtains can make a room feel warmer. Lighting is also essential. Consider candles, floor lamps, or ceiling lights to create a more subdued atmosphere.
