Wood is one of the most popular materials used for interior design, particularly for furnishing and decoration. The earthy charm of wood has been used for centuries to make homes more cosy and natural. Depending on the shade, colour and texture of wood used, it can give a different type of feel to the space. For example, more dark roughly textured wood can give a rustic feel to the environment, while light coloured wood that is nicely polished can give a minimalist and modern look to a room. In today's article we would like to share with you some of the many possible ways you can use wood to beautify your home. We hope you will be inspired by the designs here. Please follow the tags to links included for more related information and ideas. 

1. Modern dining table set

You can use as little or as much wood as you want to or can afford to, but as a general rule of thumb in interior design, the dining room is a great place for wood. Good quality wooden furniture will last you a very long time, so it's a worthwhile investment. If you need help choosing a suitable dining table for your home, you can refer to our article titled which table to choose for your dining room or kitchen.

2. Stylish staircase

Wood and glass can be combined to make a very stylish staircase. The space under the stairs can also be embelished with decorative wooden panels for extra effect.

Dark wood is an excellent choice for the classy terrace look. With an entrance door to match, the design flows naturally and harmoniously.
