The addition of timber accents to a room is definitely back in vogue. However, unlike in the 70s and 80s this time around it is being used in a modern, softened-industrial style, especially when used in contrast with materials such as metal, glass, concrete or stone, combined with neutral blacks, whites, and dark greys.
A staple in Scandinavian interiors, the beauty of natural wood is a great way to add an element of warmth to rooms which are traditionally more functional, ie kitchens, bathrooms, and laundries. That being said, it works just as well in living areas or bedrooms of a modern home via shelving or architectural elements.
Whether you’re looking to make an impact with a feature wall or ceiling, or to just add a hint with a benchtop, cupboard door, or shelving unit, timber is a fantastic way to create a completely unique feature. By making sure that you use FSC Certified or reclaimed/recycled wood you will also be doing your part for sustainability, ensuring your home is more eco-chic than ever!
