The rustic materials will instill a sense of outdoor opulence, while also creating a design aesthetic that&#8217;s authentic and cozy. Easy to utilize, introduce natural wood and raw edges in the form of architectural elements.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/contact\/\">Contact us, we can help you figure it out<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Walls<\/h2>\n<p>Walls are a great place to incorporate texture. Associated with antique spaces, exposed brick can morph an everyday wall into a decorative focal point. If brick isn&#8217;t an option, consider wood paneling. This design technique can be used in a number of ways to create depth and decorative appeal. When determining how to use wall-paneling, consider the size of the space. A smaller room might be better accented by a single paneled wall, while a larger room could potentially handle a four-wall approach. Similarly, consider ceiling height. Floor-to-ceiling panels can accentuate high ceilings, yet can have an opposite effect on a space with a lower ceiling. If that&#8217;s the case, consider an alternate application in the form of wainscoting, which is only applied to a wall&#8217;s bottom half.<\/p>\n<h2>Ceilings<\/h2>\n<p>Ceilings are another ideal place to incorporate natural wood. Paneling is always an option, but as an alternative, consider incorporating beam-work. Left in an unfinished form, beams are also a great way to tie in the raw edge effect.\u00a0Adding this element can tie a room together, create interest and effectively define open spaces. Spatially speaking, keep in mind the beams&#8217; width and density. While a small room might be overwhelmed by tree trunk-like beams, a huge room would be equally inappropriate for tree twig-like variations.<\/p>\n<h2>Flooring<\/h2>\n<p>Flooring is, by far, the most popular use for wood, but that doesn&#8217;t mean there aren&#8217;t options. Rather than traditional hardwood flooring, opt for a burl or reclaimed alternative. Burl wood is a highly sought after variation that&#8217;s actually formed by non-uniform growth, resulting in an organic\u00a0kaleidoscope\u00a0of unique patterns. Reclaimed wood, exactly as it sounds, is wood that&#8217;s been salvaged from old structures. Like burl wood, its beauty is created in its aged random imperfections. Or, you can exchange wood flooring for a raw edged alternative, like brick or slate. Interchanging flooring materials between rooms is an excellent way to create a distinct home environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Updated Thursday, September 29, 2011 Do you long for an updated, yet classic home interior?\u00a0Try incorporating natural wood decor and raw edges.
