Bangalore : If there is one thing common between the kings of Europe to the common man in Bangalore, it is the love for wooden furniture. From America to Australia, people from the entire globe prefer wood as their number one choice for furniture, be it in their house or office. Wood has still preserved its splendor as one of the finest choice of materials for furniture. Creative wood design should not be overlooked as a way to achieve home decorating goals.
Homeowners, nowadays, look beyond the traditional woods such as pine, oak and fir, to incorporate a wide variety of wood options into homes. Be it the traditional use as doors and window panels or bringing a quirky twist to decor with accessories, wood is multi dimensional. Here is a beginner's guide to help you make the best choices for wooden accessories in Bangalore. Happy decorating!
Wooden Treat :
Wooden home decor can range from rustic, natural look to polished and sleek designs. Depending on the use, wood can create a pastoral feel or exude an air of elegance. Either way, wood will make a home feel warm and inviting. It is extremely versatile and appropriate for a full range of styles and finishes. It can be used for a wide array of items and can fit within modest, moderate or extravagant budgets.
Wooden interior design products are obviously ecofriendly and versatile and they have a unique quality of creating a designer themed space and looking either modern or rustic, depending on the designer's intentions.
Wood works perfectly well as a background for other home decor ideas or as a sustainable foreground in home design. Wood and wooden design products seem to be increasingly popular among house owners. Wooden accessories can be used in different parts of the house to make it blend well with the rest of the interior design.
Wood in the Kitchen :
The use of wood in the kitchen can result in anything from rustic to sleek and modern styles. Wood designs can be used to create custom cabinets. They will have more character than pre-fabricated cabinets and can be adapted to fit the particular needs of space and the items to be used and stored. Wood is also a great choice for kitchen counters or islands. A butcher block-type look is both attractive and practical. One large piece of wood or individual bands permanently glued together are both effective ways to accomplish this. Stores such as Esthete in Tavarekere or Universal Plywood in Baswangudi provide good wood kitchen accessories such as kitchen counters and
cabinets.
Wood in the Dining Room :
The dining room table is a quintessential wooden furniture piece in a home. Buyers can be spoilt for choices as Bangalore is full of stores for the same. Apart from brick and mortar stores, several online websites have also made the choice of wooden dining table much easier.
A wood built side cabinet or serving shelf can also be used as another component of the dining room. It can be both useful and a way to visually unite the dining table and the wood elements in the kitchen. Furniturewalla in Indiranagar offers an extensive range of wood dining sets in different style and prices. Websites such as Fab Furnish and inliving are also good options for bargain shoppers.
Wood Trim and Special Features :
Window trim, baseboards and molding are all traditionally made of wood. The design of these items offers another opportunity to add individual character to the home. Again, the use of an experienced wood craftsman is a great way to accomplish this. Wood doors are another way to showcase some creativity. Legno and Niki in BTM are two good options in Bangalore where people can get wooden doors. Legno door systems are a leading manufacturer, supplier and exporter of solid wooden doors, interior doors, wooden floors and wardrobes.
Log End Tables :
In case of seeking a rustic, cabin-like feel, using two sawed-off tree logs as end tables for the living room couch can be a great idea. Whether this project is self made or purchased from a wood artisan, it is a delight to have them. To create a very rustic look, the tables can be left plain. In case of something a little more elegant, one can consider topping the tables with glass. Furniturewalla offers strong wooden tables. The Log Furniture store also has a great collection of long end tables.
Wooden Headboards :
A wood-paneled headboard can be easily made
using old fence boards or other weathered lumber.It is wise to have many options to create the look of choice from staining the wood a darker shade to painting it a color and then sanding some of it away. Even a small headboard can brighten up the room and provide a focal point above the bed, giving a feel of being in a cabin instead of a city apartment or house. Wayfair, Just Headboards, eBay, FabFurnish are some of the popular stores
where wooden headboards are available.
Wood-Framed Art :
Using a wooden frame for some favorite artwork
will bring out the warm colors in the painting. For a fun do-it-yourself project, a simple, unfinished wooden frame and glue can be purchased on a variety of small sticks and branches from the yard or the nearby woods. For a more refined look, it is essential to search for an elegant piece with a sanded-smooth surface, a beautiful finish or intricate carvings.
Driftwood Furniture :
When it comes to interior decorating with natural materials, few things are as popular as building furniture with driftwood. Many different artisans have taken to using driftwood for home design elements including picture
frames, tables, and even chairs and couches.The best thing about driftwood items is that they are all completely unique. Furniturewalla, Royal Oak, Garden World are some of the stores selling driftwood furnitures.
Smaller Wooden Accents :
To add a touch of wood without splurging on a large item like a table or couch, usage of smaller items to accent the existing design theme is a good option. A simple wooden crate can be nailed to the wall and used as a shelf. A fence plank can be sawed into pieces to create a canvas for a painted sign or, for a less-rustic wooden look, a sleekly carved wooden sculpture on a metal or glass table can be placed. It will bring out the warm colors in the room without removing any of the elegance.
It is amazing to see how something as simple as a few wooden pieces can change the look and feel of a home. Different types of wood can be mixed together to cultivate that warm and cozy feeling. So, go for it.
