Wood is a favorite material for any interior designer because of its versatility and for the amount of different items made from it. With anything from wood vases to wood bowls, wood coffee tables, and wooden bookshelves, wood can be used for practically anything in a home—and it’s a wonderful thing! Wood is one of the most beautiful natural materials in the world and is cherished by so many people around the world as something that is worth saving, worth using sparingly, and worth protecting. Exotic lumber, like Brazilian rosewood, is worth using in your home especially because of the unique coloring and is a wonderful way of bringing nature into your home. Here are a few ways that you can incorporate wood into your home. Headboards or Footboards One of the best ways to upgrade your bedroom is to add an exotic lumber headboard. There are many different online shops that sell online lumber, especially beautiful and exotic lumber, so be sure to shop around before deciding which type of wood works best for you. After you determine which type of wood you want, you’ll need to figure out a pattern of wood, or if you’d just like a large slab of wood to function as your headboard or footboard. Because wood comes in a ton of different patterns, shapes, sizes, and prices, you’ll want to figure this all out before you set your heart on a certain wood. Look through Pinterest to see if you can find something that you love and try to imitate it. Wood Floors Another great way to make a serious investment in your home is to get wood flooring in your home. Though wood flooring is only possible in the ground floor of your home (except for some suggestions), it’s a great way to upgrade your flooring to something solid that will last for years to come: there’s a reason why most older homes have beautiful wood flooring—wood floors just get better with age! Be sure to find an installer of wood floors that you trust and that offers a good price for the service. Be sure to price check with a few different services to make sure that you are getting a good price. Built-in Cabinetry Another great option in bringing the woods indoors is to create built-in cabinetry for a media console or for bookshelves. Be sure to only perform that option if you are planning to stay in your home for an extended period of time. You won’t want to build in a beautiful bookshelf if you are planning to move. Use the architecture of the room when you are planning a built-in and be sure to use the coloring of the wood to your advantage. Coffee Tables Coffee tables are a great way to take advantage of the beauty of wood, and especially take advantage of a ton of different DIY options. Coffee tables can be made from many different types of wood and can be very unique looking, especially if a whole slab is used, along with purchased or created legs. Try to purchase a slab of with unique marks or even with bark incursions to create a really unique look. Wood Beams Lastly, for the right ceiling, you can attempt to add wood beams to the ceiling to give your home a bit of a cabin or woodsy feel. This will also add a beautiful look to any type of interior design and can really change a boring ceiling to something spectacular. Exotic lumber and wood are great options to change up the look of your home and to bring a little more of the outdoors inside.
