With the last days of summer upon us, I’m turning to some of my favourite natural textures. Raffia, grasscloth, woven fibres and natural wallcoverings have a way of bringing that warm, relaxed, end-of-summer feeling indoors. Tactile, timeless, and a little imperfect! Here are a few interiors that make a very good case for going au naturel…
