Scandinavian minimalism and natural tones
Natural building materials have undergone a real renaissance in recent years. More and more homeowners and architects are rediscovering materials that have served humanity for millennia. In this post, we take a closer look at why this is so and how to use these materials in the modern home.
Why choose a natural finish?
The first and most important reason is health. Unlike synthetic paints and plasters, which can emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs), clay and loam are completely safe. They “breathe”, helping to regulate the humidity level of the room and thus creating a healthier indoor climate.
Esimene ja kõige olulisem põhjus on tervis. Erinevalt sünteetilistest värvidest ja krohvidest, mis võivad eraldada lenduvaid orgaanilisi ühendeid (VOC), on savi ja lupi täiesti ohutud. Nad “hingavad”, aidates reguleerida ruumi niiskustaset ja luues seeläbi tervislikuma sisekliima.
“A natural home is not just a trend, but an investment in your family’s health and well-being.”
The second argument is aesthetics. Natural materials have a depth and texture that is difficult to achieve with industrial materials. Light plays a special role on the surface of clay plaster, creating a soft and cozy atmosphere.
Practical tips
Start with a smaller wall to get familiar with the material.
Choose the right substrate – clay plaster needs a rough surface to adhere.
Use quality tools, it will make the job much easier.
Allow time – natural materials take longer to dry.
Try this trick:
If you want an especially smooth result, smooth the surface with a damp sponge just before it dries completely. This will bring out the fine texture of the clay without making it too rough.
