Learn how to design your home with wood.
Wood is one of the most beautiful, long-lasting, and affordable building materials available on the planet. Whether you choose to use wood in your kitchen furniture or as the centerpiece of your interior design through wooden accents, integrating wood into your interior design is a piece of cake! Are you ready to integrate wood into your interior design? Here are our best design tips!
Furniture
Wood furniture is probably the easiest way to add more wood into the interior of your home. Wood furniture is incredibly flexible and durable, and you can use it anywhere from your dining chairs to your bed’s headboard. Wood provides a great deal of warmth and charm, which is why wooden furniture has remained popular for so many centuries.
Add a Surprise Element
Another fun design tip is to incorporate wood into your interior design in a surprising way. Wood flooring in the bathroom might not be the easiest option, but there are many different ways that you can experiment with utilizing wood in other places in the bathroom, like as part of your cabinets or vanity.
Use Wood in the Kitchen
While using wood for kitchen cabinets is still the standard, using wood countertops or butcher block for a kitchen island is fun and unexpected. Butcher block countertops look rich and warm and can welcome both family and friends into your kitchen. Butcher block is also very sturdy, and it often stands up to knives and other wear and tear much better than other types of kitchen countertop materials.
Experiment with Texture and Color
Finally, don’t be afraid to experiment with texture and color in your interior design. Wood comes in numerous patterns, grain patterns, colors, styles, and textures, so there are infinite combinations to be made. You can match different styles of wood with each other or choose different types of wood flooring, wood furniture, and wood accents for a very cool look.
