Wooden Living Room

Wood is not only an important material used structurally in architecture, but also a timeless element to feature in interior design. Few materials are as versatile and adaptable, making aspects of wood interior design present in everything from rustic, country homes right up to the most modern, artistic of spaces. Wood is able to catch a certain organic warmth that is difficult to replicate otherwise.

Reclaimed wood is an ideal choice that is sure to offer the room an earthy and natural look. Wide, wood plank flooring is usually seen, complementing the wood beams typically used to support the ceilings. Pine, cherry, alder, and hickory are great choices for emulating a rustic feel.

Goal for the interior style

There are certainly a wide-variety of different interior styles to design. Once you have an idea of the style of your space you will be better able to select the right wood pieces and furnishings to compliment the room rather than detract from an otherwise cohesive look. 

With style aside, the next consideration is the color scheme of the interior. If there is already a color scheme present you must match your selected wood furnishings or cladding to match. Too dark of a color can overpower the rest of the room, throwing off the entire look. Going with too light of a wood can make a bold color scheme look weak.

Color scheme of the space

Warm yellow toned wood, neutral grey furniture, and colorful artwork set the stage for this beautifully adaptable style. Its wide-open layout works well to accommodate the range of organic shades used throughout.

Custom wood furnishings

Wood is an excellent material choice for custom furnishings of all types. It is an effective way of bringing personality into a space and putting the final touch on your interior design.

This pair of custom made furniture is an excellent example of how wood not only works with mixed media furniture, but also can be wonderfully simplistic. This bench and chair can easily be at home in a modern-contemporary interior. The wood is a very neutral tone and the use of light stainless steel makes this set adaptable to essentially any industrial or modern style.
