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.

The role of the primary closet in luxury residential design has completely transformed. It is no longer viewed simply as a utilitarian space for storage; it has evolved into a personal sanctuary and a curated gallery for fine wardrobes. For discerning homeowners, the primary dressing room now demands the same level of architectural planning and meticulous material selection as a formal dining room or a main kitchen. At Fratantoni Interior Designers, we approach the primary closet as a high end retail boutique tailored entirely to the homeowner's daily routine. Drawing on over 30 years of industry expertise established by our founder, Josie Fratantoni, we understand that creating these spaces requires absolute precision, moving far beyond standard cabinetry.

When a property commands an extraordinary natural vista, the residence must answer with equal magnificence. The interplay between interior spaces and the external environment dictates the true essence of a bespoke estate. Achieving perfect harmony requires an uncompromising vision where nature and architecture converse flawlessly.  The most breathtaking rooms never compete with the beauty just outside the glass. Masterful styling acts as a subtle frame for the world beyond the walls. Every selection of fabric and finish must elevate the surrounding environment without causing visual distraction.

Entertaining at the highest echelon requires a flawless illusion of effortlessness. Your guests should experience culinary excellence without ever witnessing the chaotic preparation behind the scenes. Achieving this delicate balance demands an exceptionally thoughtful architectural solution. The modern luxury estate now requires a dual approach to culinary spaces. Homeowners are no longer satisfied with a single room that must serve as both a showpiece and a practical workspace. We have elevated the standard of hosting through meticulous spatial planning.

The landscape of high end living is undergoing a profound transformation. We are witnessing a move away from the immediate impact of showy displays toward a more profound and lasting beauty. This new era of luxury is defined by a sense of permanence where the value of a space increases as it is lived in and loved. At Fratantoni Interior Designers, we believe that a truly exceptional home does not need to shout to be noticed. It commands attention through the quality of its bones and the soul of its materials. This shift represents a commitment to design that remains relevant long after the initial reveal.

Exceptional illumination does far more than simply brighten a room. It dictates the entire emotional resonance of a space and defines the architectural mood. When curated with exacting precision, customized illumination transcends mere function to become breathtaking physical art.

Building a luxury custom home requires more than strong ideas in separate phases. It requires architecture, interior design, and construction to work together from the beginning. In high end residential interior design, every decision affects another, which is why a more collaborative process often leads to a better final result. A ceiling detail can influence lighting. Cabinetry design can affect framing and electrical planning. Material selections can impact installation, timelines, and architectural detailing. When these disciplines are aligned early, the home feels more cohesive, more intentional, and more fully resolved. At Fratantoni, our in house teams at Fratantoni Design , Fratantoni Interior Designers, and Fratantoni Luxury Estates work together to create luxury homes that are thoughtfully developed from concept to completion.
