ALL ABOUT WOOD

-

The natural look and feel of wood continues to trend, and this call to nature seems to be here to stay. Wooden floor planks are becoming wider to make rooms appear more spacious and modern. Darker woods will be favoured along with greyer tones; think walnuts, coffees and ash grey.

> Don’t stop at floors, the popular wood-look texture is being seen in everything, from printed fabric to wallpapers, headboards and cushions. Timber continues to be a dominant material in furniture trends and fixtures.

> We’ll continue to see a dominance of mid-century influences in furniture design, along with appearance­s of rattan and wicker.

> Carpet squares are a cheaper way of warming or softening wooden floors. Use a loop pile or thicker shag pile for texture and consider binding it.
