When walking into a space, there's an undeniable sense of comfort about spaces that feel layered and full of life. One of the greatest ways to establish that sense of comfort is through natural materials, either through raw oak furnishings or a handwoven rug, incorporating these organic materials can make any space feel inviting and help your space feel grounded.
Here’s a few simple and designer-approved ways you can utilize natural materials to bring some dimension into your space.
Natural stone immediately brings in texture and character to any room. Imagine a simple stone accent or a marble kitchen backsplash, each stone has the ability to showcase its own personality. They key is to create a sense of balance, pairing heavier stones with softer materials can help keep the space feeling inviting rather than cold and stark.
Wood is one of the most effortless and versatile ways to introduce warmth into a space. From exposed ceiling beams to grained furniture, wood is able to bring a sense of natural comfort to soften your interiors. Mixing tones, such as a light oak accent with a walnut wood console besides your linen sofa can help create visual contrast and depth.
Linen is another classic and timeless material. It helps bring in softness and a sense of breathability that helps draw the eye in. Try implementing it through your drapery, throw pillows, or bedding to create layers that are light but still cozy. Unlike synthetic fabrics, linen improves over time, softening and gaining character with every wash, ultimately adding to that lived-in and effortless look.
Rugs and textiles made from jute, wool, or sisal are a simple way to anchor your space. They add a textured layer that can help define your zones, especially in open-concept layouts. Grounding your space with a natural fiber rug can immediately provide comfort and balance, helping subtly tie everything together.
At Interiors by Ria, we focus on finding balance within your space, through integrating textures and natural materials, so they feel intentional and complement your existing space. No matter the scale of your redesign, we help you build upon these organic details so your space feel timeless.

SVARA Studio expertise truly made the process an absolute pleasure. Her keen attention to detail is evident in every aspect of her work, ensuring that every element aligns perfectly with the overall vision. What impressed me the most was her unwavering commitment to communication and follow-up. No question went unanswered, and she was always readily available to address any concerns or queries I had along the way.
One of Ria's greatest strengths is her ability to listen attentively to her clients. She took the time to understand my preferences and needs, offering insightful suggestions that elevated the design to new heights. Her recommendations weren't just about aesthetics; they were tailored to optimize functionality and enhance the overall ambiance of the space.
Working with Ria was a collaborative and enriching experience. Her passion for design shines through in every decision she makes, and her dedication to client satisfaction is unparalleled. I couldn't be happier with the results, and I wholeheartedly recommend Ria to anyone seeking a truly transformative interior design journey.
Ria did a wonderful job on designing my space. She really took the time to discuss with me my ideas to get a sense of my needs and style. Her communication throughout the process has been phenomenal so I’ve always known when to expect things from her. She’s been responsive to my feedback and to exploring options that fit my design preference. I look forward to working with Ria on more design projects!
I really enjoyed working with Ria, she was great at taking direction and finding the look you had in mind, but any time you weren't quite sure what to do with a space she was quick to offer guidance. I think she went above and beyond to make the whole process enjoyable and as easy as possible.
I was looking for something more polished for my main bedroom. Ria created a beautiful, custom design plan for me based on my preferences and how we use the room. Would highly recommend.
I needed a rental space decorated after my divorce and I was on a budget. Ria came in and understood what I wanted to accomplish and listened to my feedback throughout the process. Although we went slightly over budget, in the end my home now feels like "me" and is soooooo comfortable and cozy when I need to relax and decompress in the evenings after work.
I debated only giving 4 stars instead of 5 due to being slightly over budget (I wish there was a 4.99 rating), but this was a near-ideal outcome in terms of how much I enjoy the spaces she decorated - so 5 stars it is!!!
Thanks Ria for an incredible job!

I truly enjoyed working with Ria as my designer. Our house looks beautiful. I would highly recommend her as an interior designer for your home.
Ria did a great job with my project. She was patient and took the time to get to know everything I was looking for. Throughout the whole process she was in constant communication with me about how work was going, what issues came up, and how she was helping to take care of them. She was very frank about prices and timelines, but also worked really hard to help me find the right style and stay within budget. At first I wasn't sure I wanted to spend money on a designer, but I'll definitely be reaching out to her for future projects.
Ria was awesome to work with!!!! She has great taste for design and worked with the ideas i had. She is also very honest and professional. I would definitely recommend her if you are needing a designer!!
