wood designAre you thinking of adding a touch of rustic elegance to your home with wood design? You aren’t alone.

Forest product imports continue to increase each year by almost 20% … a true testament to the increasing popularity of wood in home decor. And with good reason! Wood has diverse and interesting design charm like no other material.

Whether you’re just thinking about sprucing up old wood cabinets or something more dramatic like a wood feature wall, we’ve compiled a list of the best ways to incorporate wood design in your home.

Unique Ways to Incorporate Wood Design

This list isn’t just about bringing beautiful wood into your home furnishings — we’ve thought about being different too. 

Here are our favorite unique home design suggestions to add both elegance and distinctive charm using wood.

Wood Ceiling

Undoubtedly, you’ve seen some beautiful wood flooring in the most stylish of homes. But what about a wood ceiling?

A hardwood ceiling can add a different touch of the outdoors. Use this technique to soften modern rooms with hard angles or concrete. Get a rustic splash in a fun, interesting way.

Accent Wall

Another creative way to use wood as an accent is a feature wall. This can really give an extra pop to any room. The neutral and wide range of wood colors can accent any paint colors. 

This interesting touch can easily add a feeling of the outdoors to your favorite space.

Kitchen Countertop

A butcher-style wooden countertop can really stand out and add flourish to your kitchen. 

Not only will it add style and elegance, wood is a heavy-duty material for your counter. While you may think of wood as porous and absorbent, therefore making it hard to clean, you can seal the material with epoxy coating for long-lasting allure. 

It will then be a durable, easy to clean, and a stunningly gorgeous accent to your kitchen.

Wood Furniture

When most people think of wood design, their mind immediately turns to wooden furniture. But just because it’s the first thought doesn’t mean it’s boring!

The rise in popularity of wood furnishings and rustic decor has spawned tons of unique furniture concepts.

And if you’re a handyman, don’t leave out DIY opportunities, too! High backed chairs made of four-by-fours, coffee tables made of palettes… the possibilities are endless.

Mantel

Adding a floating wooden mantel on a brick or stone fireplace backdrop can not only be tasteful, it also adds a touch of coziness to your living space.

Use this technique to accent some of your favorite art… whether it’s a large painting hanging above the fireplace or a display of family pictures.
