Ever since I became a home design blogger, many of my friends and acquaintances have asked me why exactly people choose to incorporate wooden pieces of furniture into their residence, thinking that such furniture items don’t really deserve a place in our modern homes and are best avoided. Unfortunately, they are not the only ones who believe that the time for wooden furniture pieces is slowly but surely passing, as they perceive them as dull and old-fashioned. Well, my dear ones, I’m here to prove all of them wrong by explaining how a carefully chosen oak coffee table and a set of a wooden dining table and chairs can add warmth and elegance to a living room and a dining room, respectively.
The Everlasting Charm of Wood in Living Rooms
When it comes to implementing a wooden piece of furniture into a lounge room, for example an oak coffee table or a cherry bookshelf, most experienced professional interior designers will advise you to pair it with a fabric sofa bed and a couple of fluffy rugs. Wood and fabric furniture items can form stunning combinations, as the warm brown colour of the wooden pieces can easily make a room much more inviting and cozy, whereas the smoothness of the fabric ones will add elegance to it.
I must admit that this powerful duo is one of my personal favorites, mainly because of its warmth and natural appeal, which is why I recommend it to all the nature lovers I know. If you, too, are one, then I strongly suggest you to give this home décor idea a chance. Trust me, surrounding yourself with earthy tones and natural materials will bring you great satisfaction.
The Everlasting Charm of Wood in Dining Rooms
If I could decorate every single dining room in the world, then I would definitely start off this exciting project with the search for tasteful cherry or oak dining tables and chairs. Yes, glass dining tables are stylish, but they are also rather cold, which is why I would never buy one. Having in mind that the dining room is the heart and soul of every family home (for this is where parents and children dine and bond with each other), you will understand why it needs to be friendly and appealing for all the family members. If you ask me, wooden dining tables and chairs are the only acceptable option precisely because of their warmth and comfort. Kids love them as well.
