Natural Materials In City Homes: A Return To Comfort & Nature
In India's busy real estate world, a Bangalore-based company called Address Advisors is quietly standing out. Started in 2016 by Sunny Mogra and Bhawana Khetan, this Indian firm is doing what most local real estate companies haven't—building a brand that offers smart advice, not just property deals.
Instead of just helping people buy or sell property, Address Advisors gives long-term guidance. They use market research, technology, and local experience to help clients—from businesses to individuals—make better decisions. Their journey reminds us of how projects like Birla Evara in Sarjapur Road mix smart planning with modern living.
City life can be exciting, but it also comes with noise, crowds, and long days indoors. That's why more people in places like Bangalore, Mumbai, and Delhi are choosing natural materials to design their homes. This isn't just about style—it's about comfort, health, and a better way to live. Wood, stone, clay, cotton, and even indoor plants are making homes feel warmer and more peaceful.
In well-designed communities like Birla Evara near Sarjapur Road, these natural touches are already a big part of everyday living. Let's explore why this trend is growing, what materials are best, and how you can bring them into your own home—even on a small budget.
- People Want to Feel Closer to Nature
It's natural to feel better when surrounded by greenery or earthy textures. In big cities, where trees and parks are harder to find, homeowners are bringing that feeling inside—with wood furniture, stone walls, clay pots, and indoor plants. These things don't just look nice—they help us relax. - Health and Clean Air Matter More Now
Many synthetic materials give off chemicals that can affect your health over time. On the other hand, real wood, cotton, and clay don't pollute your indoor air. Natural paints, too, are free from strong smells and toxic gases. - People Want Homes That Last
Unlike plastic or cheap finishes, good-quality wood and stone can last for years. They don't go out of style. In fact, they look even better as they age—wood darkens, stone develops character, and cotton softens.
- Use it for: floors, doors, shelves, kitchen cabinets.
- Types found in India: teak, mango wood, neem, and even bamboo.
- New trend: Reused wood from old homes is now in style—saves trees and adds charm.
- Best used for: kitchen counters, bathroom walls, floors, and outdoor spaces.
- Common types in India: granite, marble, sandstone, and slate.
- Tip: A matte or rough finish looks more natural than shiny stone.
- Cotton and linen: good for curtains, cushions, and bedding.
- Jute and hemp: used for carpets, poufs, and bags.
- Cane and rattan: often seen in chairs, lamps, and baskets.
- You'll see it in: tiles, wall art, vases, and planters.
- Why it's great: It keeps things cool and looks handmade, which makes homes feel more personal.
- Easy choices: money plant, snake plant, spider plant, or aloe vera.
- Balcony ideas: hanging pots, vertical gardens, or small herb corners.
- Design tip: Combine with wood shelves or clay pots for a natural look.
- Mix textures: Try a wooden table with a jute rug or stone wall with soft cotton curtains.
- Keep colors simple: Shades like beige, cream, green, and brown work well with natural items.
- Use natural light: Open windows, add mirrors, and let sunlight show off textures.
- Use the same materials inside and outside: Stone floors on the balcony or clay tiles near the window help the home feel connected to nature.
In projects like Birla Evara, these ideas come to life through calm colors, natural finishes, and smart use of space. These homes feel open and welcoming, even in the middle of a busy area.
| Problem | Simple Fix |
| Dust on wood or fabric | Use a soft cloth or vacuum cleaner once a week. |
| Water damage on stone | Seal kitchen and bathroom surfaces once a year. |
| Space too small | Use light-colored cane furniture or wall-mounted racks. |
| Bugs in natural fibers | Keep things clean and dry, and let rugs air out in sunlight. |
More custom design: People are choosing handmade pieces that tell a story—like a carved wooden panel or handwoven mat.
Reusing old materials: Old wood, broken tiles, and leftover stone are now being used in fresh ways.
Nature with tech: Smart lights and speakers are now hidden behind wooden panels or stone shelves to keep the look clean and organic.
Design for all senses: People care about how a material feels and even how it smells—not just how it looks.
Using natural materials is more than a home design choice. It's about living better. These materials help us breathe cleaner air, feel calmer, and enjoy our space more. Whether it's a simple jute mat, a stone kitchen counter, or a few indoor plants, the change is easy to start—and it makes a big difference.
Homes at Birla Evara reflect this simple, grounded lifestyle. Here, modern city living blends with a design that stays connected to nature—inside and out.
