Wood design ideas for your home decoration

Wooden Furniture & Wooden Decorative Items

The quickest approach to embracing wood interior design in your home is through wooden furniture and small accessories. From water-resistant and simple to maintain wood cabinets in bathrooms and kitchens to lighter wood furniture or cladding for a living room wall, wooden design items add neutral style and a natural aesthetic. And while many of us prefer solid wood furniture for its luxury and timelessness, MDF and wood finishes have grown in popularity recently because of their affordability and durability. A room can be completely transformed by a simple wooden wall, wood décor or even a single eye-catching wooden furniture piece.

1. Wood Décor Tip #1 : Dining and Kitchen Areas

The heart of any home is the modular kitchen, which makes this the ideal place to embrace the cosiness and sturdiness of wood. Whether as cabinets and a beautiful dining table set, or as exposed beams and a wood wall, interior design experts all consider wood necessary to create a homey rustic theme. If your dining tables and doors are of old, dark wood, pick an assortment of lighter toned wooden decorative items for wall shelves and opt for a pendant light to add character and interest to this warmly decorated space.

2. Wood Décor Tip #2 : Wooden Bedroom Furniture

When picking a primarily wood interior design, bedroom design ought to be soothing, comfortable and calm. A light wooden bed and a soft neutral colour scheme will give you a calm, airy, and welcoming room ideal for relaxation. If your bed is of darker solid wood, and you might want an effective way to utilise dark wood in your bedroom, remember the 80/20 rule – keep light wood to 80% of the visual composition, with the darker wooden home décor items the remaining 20%, in order to create attractive contrast.

5. Wood Décor Tip #5 : Wooden Room Dividers

For an open-concept living area, adding a wooden partition will help demarcate the space without creating a permanent wall. Depending on your living room wall, wooden design screens can be freestanding or wall mounted. Furthermore they could be intricately decorated, act as a frame for a wood wall hanging décor piece or just be simple and utilitarian depending on your design needs. By adding a wooden room divider that provides storage and display, such as a bookcase or crockery cabinet, you could greatly increase the functionality of your space.

2. Wooden Home Décor Items that Combine Form & Function
   

   A beautifully designed blanket ladder or ladder shelf is a unique way to add both storage and charm to a dressing area or bedroom. This is a particularly good solution for a primarily dark wood interior design bedroom plan as the widely spaced rungs lend the piece a note of airy stylishness especially when empty.
   
   

3. Handcrafted Wooden Decorative Items for Wall Mounted Storage
   

   When looking at wall mounted shelving, consider organic forms like a live edge, where the craftsperson enhances the wood's natural edge rather than makes a straight cut line. Choosing rustic forms and finishes for your wood home décor will elevate the depths and textures of the natural wood grain.
   
   

4. Modern Wooden Mirror Frame Design
   

   Selecting a large wood-framed mirror will improve the lighting and visibility in the space. A textured rustic wood frame offers character and contrast to a smooth circular mirror. Alternatively choose a smooth light wood, wall hanging décor in a similar shade and clean rectangular mirrors for a contemporary minimalist theme.
