What colours, materials and trends suit the style of the space, and the sustainability of the accessories you choose are all be likely to be on your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.onlinelighting.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/jared-rice-PibraWHb4h8-unsplash-1536x1024-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.onlinelighting.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/jared-rice-PibraWHb4h8-unsplash-1536x1024-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.onlinelighting.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/jared-rice-PibraWHb4h8-unsplash-1536x1024-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.onlinelighting.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/jared-rice-PibraWHb4h8-unsplash-1536x1024-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.onlinelighting.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/jared-rice-PibraWHb4h8-unsplash-1536x1024-1.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Lighting and other accessories that are made from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinelighting.co.uk\/brands\/edit\/natural-materials.html\">natural materials<\/a>&nbsp;are often more easy to recycle at the end of their life \u2013 as opposed to plastics, which often simply end up in landfill \u2013 which means that many people are now opting to buy the accessories they want for their home more mindfully. While it is (of course) necessary to use metal and plastic for the wiring in light fittings, using less plastic is a good thing for the environment \u2013 and you get a great look in your home. Sustainability isn\u2019t the only reason to choose lighting made from natural materials though, which we\u2019ll see next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Choose Natural Materials For Lighting?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">There are some great reasons to choose accessories that are made from natural materials. When we\u2019re talking specifically about lighting, natural materials are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Stylish and modern<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Able to behave as a neutral in your space<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Strong and durable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Calming and soothing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"840\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.onlinelighting.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/nathan-oakley-UJWFy-5uzS8-unsplash-1536x1260-1-1024x840.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.onlinelighting.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/nathan-oakley-UJWFy-5uzS8-unsplash-1536x1260-1-1024x840.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.onlinelighting.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/nathan-oakley-UJWFy-5uzS8-unsplash-1536x1260-1-300x246.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.onlinelighting.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/nathan-oakley-UJWFy-5uzS8-unsplash-1536x1260-1-768x630.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.onlinelighting.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/nathan-oakley-UJWFy-5uzS8-unsplash-1536x1260-1.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Uncluttered spaces, with natural products in our home is better for our mental health. Most people know that a tidy home helps make a tidy mind. If you\u2019re applying principles of colour psychology to create the right mood when you\u2019re choosing colour schemes for a room, then picking lighting accessories and furniture that are predominantly made from natural materials is a good choice, since they can act as neutrals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Natural Materials Can Be Used In Lighting?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">There are so many types of materials that can be used in lighting fixtures \u2013 and although wood is the obvious option, there are many others that you might not have even considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-medium-font-size\">\n<li>Rattan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bamboo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cork<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hessian<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wicker<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seagrass<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feathers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Silk<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cotton<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.onlinelighting.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/pexels-artem-podrez-7232839-1-768x432-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.onlinelighting.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/pexels-artem-podrez-7232839-1-768x432-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.onlinelighting.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/pexels-artem-podrez-7232839-1-768x432-1-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Types Of Lighting Is Available In Natural Materials?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">You can find natural materials incorporated into most styles of lighting, and whether you\u2019re looking for ceiling lights, wall lights, floor or table lamps, there are styles that feature all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Our top picks for natural lighting<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">We\u2019ve been through and picked out our absolute favourite options that feature natural materials from our catalogue of lighting.

If you decide on pieces that you don\u2019t truly love, you\u2019re likely to end up buying replacements year after year, which still isn\u2019t great for the planet \u2013 even if they\u2019re made from natural materials. If you truly love a piece made from plastic, and you\u2019re likely to love it for years and years, that is likely to be a better option for the planet than replacing pieces that are made from natural products, when you take into account manufacturing and transportation demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.onlinelighting.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-4050408-768x512-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-76\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.onlinelighting.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-4050408-768x512-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.onlinelighting.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/pexels-vlada-karpovich-4050408-768x512-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Getting the balance right is tricky, but ultimately, choosing good quality items that you absolutely adore (and that you\u2019re likely to for some time to come) is likely to be a better option for the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Our Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Whether you\u2019re shopping for lighting with sustainability in mind or not, deciding that you want lighting in your home to be made from natural products is a great decision.
