Indeed, bamboo is used in many fields: medicine, cosmetics, construction materials, in our gardens and of course in the making of all kinds of objects which will be the subject of today's article.
Why is bamboo so popular in our interior décor? There are several reasons. The first is its authentic and exotic character, because while it is considered an invasive plant in Asia and Africa, it is much rarer in the West. The second is ecological: bamboo grows without fertilizer or pesticides and at a speed that outpaces all competition.
However, note that to reach our homes, bamboo must be exported, which weakens its eco-friendly image. Note that the only variety of bamboo that grows in Europe is moso bamboo exploited by an Italian company. For more information on this subject, I invite you to read our dedicated article about bamboo and its different forms of use.
Zen bamboo objects for your home
Here is our list of bamboo items straight from our store. Enough to add character to every room in your home and bring a zen, Feng Shui touch.
Bamboo décor objects in my bathroom
Apart from the practical accessories and utensils found in bathrooms around the world: toothbrushes, cotton swabs, soap dishes etc....,
you will find made of bamboo in our bathroom accessories collection, it is with the light fixtures that you will bring a so-called "from elsewhere" touch to your bathroom.
Indeed, bamboo is a perfectly suitable material for the bathroom because it is naturally rot-proof and therefore will not be subject to mold. If you have a spacious bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, why not place a few teak duckboards as a path to your bath? Also consider a bamboo bath tray, ideal for chilling out and relaxing while keeping everything you need within easy reach. To go back to our lighting, place 2 of our palm bamboo wall lights with a dimmer switch in the corners and you will be in a true aquatic haven of peace.
Bamboo décor objects in my kitchen and dining room
The kitchen and the living room are spaces where practical and decorative elements are never in short supply. Indeed, modern design and the layout of our homes very often connect these two rooms under the very familiar name of "American kitchen". In other words, our living rooms and kitchens are separated by a simple counter, creating a much friendlier atmosphere. The host can welcome guests, serve them an aperitif and a few tapas, while still chatting with them without being in a separate room.
A dinner, reception, or cocktail party calls for a few practical and stylish bamboo accessories to blend modernity and woodwork. Having a cocktail shaker station on your counter, as well as a bamboo bottle holder, can add a lovely exotic touch.
Are you having friends over for coffee time? Nothing beats a traditional wooden tray for serving them. Find all our bamboo utensils and accessories for your dining room and kitchen in our dedicated collection.
Décoration in bamboo for the garden
A little trip outdoors for those who have a garden. As mentioned a little earlier in this article, bamboo wood is rot-resistant, which makes it a suitable outdoor material and highly recommended for garden décor. Have you ever heard of Japanese gardens? Japanese gardens are truly zen gardens thanks to their perfect layout and millimeter-perfect symmetry.
For a Japanese garden worthy of the name, you will need a few white pebbles, a few Japanese stepping stones in tech, a water feature like a basin with a small bamboo fountain and finally I invite you to hang a wooden wind chime.
Bamboo décor objects for your office
In our collection of bamboo wood office accessories, you will discover how to combine ecology, modernity, and technology. We are moving a little away from bamboo décor objects here, but I could not see myself ending this article without taking a look at your offices. In this area, where we look for productivity and functionality rather than decoration, it is entirely possible to combine these three criteria.
Bringing a woodsy touch to your workspace and a full-fledged decorative style. A fountain pen in its case, a keyboard and mouse, a work lamp, a wastebasket, or a USB key, all in bamboo, will add an exotic touch while keeping the practical and functional side of a proper office.
