Wood has been used for centuries to create homes and the things that reside in them – from traditional parquet floors to high-quality furniture.
Besides its variety of use cases, wood has other great properties:
It is strong and durable, making it a long-term choice.
It is easy to use for both professional builders and DIY enthusiasts.
Ash, pine, teak, oak, beech, mahogany, and all other types of wood (especially thermowood) have their own distinct style, unique appearance, and qualities.
Wood is a natural material and if it is obtained by FSC or PEFC it shows that it comes from responsibly managed forests and thus contributes to sustainable forest management.
Combined with the subtle and warm appearance of wood, these strengths make it an ideal contemporary interior design and décor item.
Over the past years, there has been an increasing use of wood in modern design, where sustainability considerations are gaining importance and biophilic style is trending in interior design.
Plastic has become a widely available, cheap material that is easy to handle and maintain, however, wood has remained a popular material in design style.
Wood enriches the interior space, is pleasing to the eye, and adds contemporary flair.
Incorporation of biophilic design principles
Interior designers and architects have always been passionate about working with wood materials.
As sustainability becomes more important, architects are trying to incorporate biophilic design principles into architecture and interior design.
Adding plants and wood accents is one of the easiest ways to bring nature into your living space.
However, the contemporary design movement has favored the use of wood for several reasons,
including that wood is the perfect complement to the other materials mentioned above.
The ever-evolving trends are inspiring employers to increasingly choose wood in open office spaces.
And because research has shown that just as indoor plants can help relieve stress,
using indoor natural wood surfaces can also improve physiological health.
