Knock On Wood

Feeling “board” with your home decor? Wood accents can spruce it up! Although this material is less commonly used in contemporary design, our team at Semmelmann Interiors has a talent for taking rustic charm and creatively integrating it into modern elegance. Wood has the unique ability to adapt to any design aesthetic while adding a touch of natural beauty. An example of this is the industrial-style living room pictured here, with overhead wood beams that tie in the other wooden elements in the room. Also pictured here, the circular tree stumps that form a coffee table create an organic but organized focal point. One of the most captivating aspects of wood is its ability to tell a story through its texture. Each knot, grain, and imperfection adds a unique character to the wood, giving your space a sense of history and depth. In a world that is increasingly dominated by technology and artificial materials, wood provides a welcome reminder of the beauty and tranquility of nature. Whether it's a sleek hardwood floor, a rustic wooden beam, or a furniture piece with a wood accent, wood has the magical ability to add warmth, texture, and character to any space. From the rich, dark tones of mahogany to the light, airy feel of pine, what type “wood” you pick? Design/image credit to @susansemmelmanninteriors
