Cork is back - like furniture, walls, on floors and more, and in many different finishes and colors - ride the wave of the 1970s recovery, and boosted by a high profile collaboration cork-heavy between designer Ilse Crawford and Ikea coming this year. And high time, too: the cork is a natural material but very durable, something more and more manufacturers draw on eco-consciousness develops. There is lots of it appear on the pages of Houzz, too. But how can you add that warm, tactile and versatile material in your home - and give it a twist of the 21st century? Here are some ideas that might try ...

Bring warmth to your walls
Cork wallpaper is available in a variety of finishes, and I like the way it layers of two natural materials - the plug is supported with bronze create this subtle shimmer effect. It is almost as if the sun is blazing behind her. The look is also wonderfully comfortable bedroom, do not you think? You can buy this - or similar - UK. I found some at a company called, surprise, surprise, Wallpaper from the 70s

Add cork accents
Offer a nod to the futuristic material in a small way. These stylish kitchen storage jars and retro kitsch show that is certainly not the only way to go with cork. These pieces are sweet and satisfying to the touch and beautiful to look through a muddy range inspired by nature. If stores such as folklore, work and wait or French Log do for you, you are probably ready for a touch of discrete cork.

There are now so many ways to hedge your cork floor. This cork sheet creates an elegant and smooth finish makes a bizarre alternative to solid wood in natural soil. Cork can be an inexpensive option and a feasible project for experienced handymen, especially in small rooms.
Make sure you buy your pretty thick cork for work - anything thinner than about 6mm is unlikely to be strong enough - and get expert advice on glue correct to use. (Personally, considering how cork is much cheaper than solid wood for flooring, I use the difference to hire professional to suit anyone.)

Go sleek and shiny
If retro or rustic is not your style, do not overlook the cork: there are many more styles of cork flooring available, pale matt tiles in dark rafters, brilliant, with all sorts of textures and finishes between the two - would you have guessed that high-brightness, contemporary look was created with the plank floor cork? The panels have a finishing plant in four and mantle are made by Expanko. This model is called Castello.

Make a full pinboard wall
If you have a home office and a paper-collecting habit, you probably already have a pinboard of some sort . But this idea takes more, making a real feature of collected cards, leaflets and scraps of paper that you need to keep track of.
Because there is a place for everything, the thing overlap disorder that almost always occurs with favorites (or is it just me?) Is avoided, and the finish is far cleaner than you're waiting. It would make a nice feature wall to the room of a teenager, too, or to accommodate a constantly changing gallery of artwork and family of children's photographs in an open plan kitchen / living room.

Choose natural lighting
Incorporating natural materials in your home can be an elegant way to warm things up. But think beyond the obvious and choose cork. If you like the look, but do not want to commit too much of a retro statement, try a detail like this pendant shade. It works great with ivy in the background, which complements his natural side.
Log pendant on the sector with flex too long cloth is a great idea for a dining table, too, as it is easy to increase or decrease depending on the mood you want to create. You can find something similar by Benjamin Hubert designer.
