Natural is the new neutral, and adding a few woven elements throughout your home is a sure way to bring in warmth and texture—all while blending seamlessly with your existing décor. Woven accents serve as a great design staple no matter the season, but even more so during spring and summer given the relaxed and casual vibes they exude. From light fixtures and furnishings to rugs and vases, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite ways to utilize these versatile accessories.
