Using Wood In a Modern Design Setting

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.
