Natural materials like wood, stone, and marble have been gaining traction in design over the past several years. Rebelling against the push towards all-white minimalism, these substances are steadfast in their celebration of complex texture, visual intricacy, and cozy, comforting colors. The warmth of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' kitchen perfectly embodies why these materials became so popular.
The power couple's kitchen idea is a practical celebration of natural materials. Their walls are gray, unpolished stone bricks. Their furnishings are made of unfinished wood. Their kitchen island, where Ryan is pictured signing materials for his soccer team, is topped with a matte, charcoal-gray slab of stone.
