Using Wood In a Modern Design Setting

July 22, 2015

Wood remains one of the most popular building materials even in modern times. Being both strong and beautiful, wood is versatile enough to be used in a range of settings, including but not limited to bedrooms (specially when there are queen mattresses included), bathrooms, and kitchens.

Use these tips for designing with wood:

  • Depending on its source, wood can come in a remarkable range of colors and tones. As a result, a mixture of different woods can complement one another wonderfully when used together in the same spot.
  • Wooden ceilings are a time-tested concept. However, it is important to note that such ceilings can lead to a cramped sensation unless the room has sufficient height and square footage.
  • Since most bathrooms are filled with colder materials such as tile and stone, wooden baths can make for a warm and welcoming contrast. Use the right sealants to protect them from constant exposure to moisture.
  • A wooden countertop can make for an excellent centerpiece in a kitchen filled with stainless steel. It is perfect for lending a classical touch to an otherwise modern setting.
  • No matter the setting, wood can be made even more breathtaking with custom woodcarvings.
