Wood lets a home breathe more
Compared to cold metal and smooth painted surfaces, wood has natural grain and warmth.
An oak tabletop, a walnut chair, even just a wooden tray can instantly soften a space.
Different wood tones have different personalities
Light oak is bright and relaxed, suitable for small spaces and Nordic style; walnut is calm and textured, good for reading and solitude; cherry wood is warm and vintage, getting better with use.
When choosing a wood tone, first think about what kind of life you want to live in that space.
Wood also needs pairing
Wood's best partners are white, linen, green plants, and soft natural light.
Avoid mixing too many synthetic materials, or the character of the wood itself will be weakened.
