Designers and homeowners are finding more ways to use the texture and beauty of wood. Wood is just not only for traditional style, designers can use wood to add texture to modern, eclectic, transitional, glam, and contemporary design.
What's hot this year? I have two trends with wood design that's my favorite.
- Statement Walls- These walls are making more than a statement. Paneling are big trendsetters. With the wood material as a paneled wall or ceiling, it will add beauty, character, and appeal to any room. Different type of wood finishes reflect different styles. As a designer, you can mix different woods and finishes on accent wall to add visual depth to a room. Be sure to mix wood with other materials and colors to make the room a winner.
- Woods Natural Color and Texture- I believe every tree has a story. As you know every species of wood has a grain pattern and natural color. The different natural color of woods set the tone for a room. Be careful when selecting the wood. Woods with a darker color can give the look of formality or even masculinity. Lighter woods are more feminine, airy, and easy on the eyes. Let the grain pattern tell the story of the item. Grain patterns can give away the style of the space. Woods with more heavy grain pattern heads towards traditional or rustic and light patterns are contemporary.
