If traditional wallpaper or decorative plaster walls seem already boring, you start to want something more original, you can use wood. This material will always look original and help create an atmosphere of comfort. Wood is out of fashion, so there is no doubt that the interior will look somehow old-fashioned.
You can decorate the interior with wood with almost any budget in your pocket; it can be chipboard or more expensive carved wood panels. Of course, handicrafts made from rare woods look very attractive and solid, but when there is not enough budget for their purchase, the question involuntarily arises: maybe you should look at alternative options?
Advantages and disadvantages
As a material of natural origin, wood already stands a level higher in the quality of interior decoration. But even such a beautiful and natural material has not only advantages, but also some disadvantages. To avoid unpleasant surprises during operation, it is better to know about them before buying.
Advantages of wood finishes:
- extremely attractive appearance;
- very durable material;
- durability of operation;
- pleasant aroma;
- environmental safety;
- lack of toxins;
- contributes to the correct microclimate;
- has sound and heat insulation properties.
In addition, wood finishes go well with almost any other environmentally friendly materials, such as natural stone, glass surfaces, leather elements.
Wooden elements as decoration
Many designers prefer to make bright accents in the interior, while keeping the overall look understated, perhaps even in a minimal style. However, if the interior is too simple, then a feeling of "coldness" will be created, perhaps even boredom. A person in such a room will feel uncomfortable, uncomfortable. The high-tech and loft styles that were once at the peak of popularity are already fading into the background, the still trendy Provence style may seem to many a relic of grandparents.
So how can you make sure that the interior is also updated, and you do not have to redo the entire repair again? For example, you can add wooden elements to the walls. Yes, people have been doing this since time immemorial, decorating their homes with wooden structures inside and out. But to this day, wood remains a universal material for these purposes. Natural wood products look very advantageous in any room.
Wooden furniture
Usually, in a modern interior, it is the furniture that ultimately forms the overall style of the interior space of the room. This becomes especially obvious when the furniture is made of expensive, rare woods. Based on how and from what the furniture is made, the rest of the interior decor is formed. The head of the bed, which is made of saw cut wood, and not just a wooden chipboard rectangle, will look much more attractive. The same applies to other pieces of furniture, such as shelves, tables, countertops.
