With Christmas approaching and wintery temperatures outside, I am totally drawn to natural materials. Especially to wood to be precise. I love the cosy and homey look of wood in interior design. Moreover, not only it’s a sustainable material but it’s also very versatile and can add a rustic as well as a modern look to interiors. With this in mind I browsed the internet on the search for something that could translate this idea into a real space and I was lucky – I found two amazing examples that exhibit the power of wood in interiors and showcase the individual ways of using it. By coincidence, both homes that I’d like to tour with you today are Dutch.
The first home is a stunning example of a barn-turned-home: Wood is the dominating material and demonstrates its power of linking traditional, rustic feels, with modern design approaches. Pay attention to the extraordinary little wooden stools and industrial style lamps that add a very modern and functional touch to this traditional home. Isn’t it super cool?
The second example is an Amsterdam based home that has a very modern kind of design approach with modular solutions made of wood. Here again, wood dominates the rooms but it’s partly painted in whites and blacks to add drama and structure to the space. The geometric notches are an amazing example of the wood’s versatility for interior design. I love how they conveyed this idea throughout the home – perfectly executed in the kitchen, where even the kitchen shelves have the geometric shapes. Thumbs up!
