Using Natural Wood in Your home

The classic beauty of natural wood can add texture and warmth to any room. These are some simple ways to incorporate natural wood into your home.

Using Natural Wood in Your home

Integrating more natural elements in interior design has been a huge trend in 2020 and it will not be going anywhere in 2021. When done right this trend can be a great way to enhance the style of your home. Using natural wood can create more texture, depth, and character in your home. These are a few unique ways we have used natural wood in our designs.

Ceilings and Walls

To get the modern farmhouse style that is wildly popular right now you can incorporate exposed wood beams. For example, in this bedroom design, we used natural wood to create more depth and texture in a small space with exposed beams and an accent wall. The ceiling beams create an illusion of a higher ceiling. The dark-toned wood helps bring more warmth and coziness into this space.

Kitchen Accents

There are many ways to use natural wood in your kitchen. We brought a natural and rustic style into this Modern French Country kitchen with this natural wood range hood and kitchen island. The deep tone of the wood used in this kitchen helps to compliment and neutralize the dark-colored cabinets.

Natural Wood

Furniture

Using natural wood furniture is a simple way to execute this trend. Whether it’s for your bedroom, dining room, living room, or even bathroom there are tons of options to choose from. The great thing about choosing natural materials for your furniture is its timelessness. With wood, you’ll never have to worry about your furniture going out of style.

 Luxury interior design is not just about selecting the right furnishings, fabrics, or artwork, it’s about creating a sense of permanence, refinement, and craftsmanship that elevates a home from ordinary to extraordinary. One of the most powerful ways to achieve this transformation is through custom millwork. Whether it’s striking wall paneling, coffered ceilings, or bespoke built-in cabinetry, millwork design defines a space, enhances architecture, and brings unparalleled depth to luxury homes. In this blog, we’ll explore how millwork walls, ceilings, and built ins can reshape your interiors, offering both aesthetic beauty and functional value. If you’ve ever wondered why high end homes feel so distinct and timeless, the answer often lies in the details of architectural millwork.

Every luxury home tells a story - and often, it’s the smallest details that make the biggest impact. Among the many decisions you’ll face when designing your dream home, few are as visually defining as whether to use slabs or tiles for your surfaces. Both offer timeless beauty, durability, and sophistication, yet they speak different design languages. So, how do you decide which is right for you? The truth is, neither option is “better” - it all depends on your home’s architecture, your lifestyle, and your personal vision. At Fratantoni Interior Designers, we help clients navigate this choice with confidence, ensuring every finish reflects the personality of their home.
