When it comes to interiors, solid wood has made a comeback. It’s always been a classic look, that never really goes out of fashion, once again it’s top of the trends.
There are a few ways to incorporate the solid wood look into your home to give it a facelift. I love it because it radiates style and cosiness. I want my home to look welcoming and I think nothing quite does that as well as wood.
How to Incorporate Solid Wood Interiors
Below are some fabulous ways to bring the stylish look of wood into your home.
Wooden Floors
A wooden floor is a timeless look. It’s so versatile it can go with almost any interiors style out there. It complements minimalism, enhances the cosy cottage look and can hold its own when adorned with the perfect area rug. Modern furniture or vintage pieces look great next to it and any wall colour goes. It’s probably the most adaptable option out there! How will you style yours? I favour a furry rug, a plush sofa and a generally warm and cosy aesthetic.
Wooden Work Surfaces
Wooden work surfaces scream quality. The modern cottage look is back and Pinterest is flooded with images of that rustic country living style kitchen. Why not go the whole hog with solid wood work tops and a Belfast sink? You can easily add a contemporary twist by swapping in golden taps and painting the cupboards a dark teal or charcoal grey for contrast.
Solid Wood Shelves
Wooden shelving always looks the part – in fact, the bare wood look is very of the moment. The beautiful thing about shelving is that it can be both functional and decorative. If you don’t need the storage, you can shop for the perfect pieces to finish the room, such as lamps and trinkets. A high up shelf is the perfect location for the tumbling vines of a string of hearts plant. If you need the storage, shelves manage to look good while giving your clutter a tidy home.
Wooden Table Tops
Although tables are traditionally made of wood, you don’t see a wooden table top often enough. A table cloth can be a good idea for protection, and cheap plastic tables are handy for messy kids, but there’s beauty in the simplicity of a wooden table top. It’s a simple way to get wood into your home without the upheaval of new flooring or a new kitchen. If you’ve only got a small space, a small table with a wooden top will look lovely with vase full of wild flowers on it.
