Wood as an element of interior decoration

Wood is a highly appreciated and valued material in interior design.  It is warm, pleasant to the touch and to the eye and has great possibilities for cutting and application.

In the field of interior design, wood is one of the oldest materials. Apart from its ductility, it has so many shades and finishes that it can be used in all decorative styles. This material can be used raw, varnished or painted.

Depending on the style, whether rustic or modern, or the clarity or tone of the house, we will choose one type of wood or another.

It is also a key material for chairs and tables. It can be natural or treated wood that will always bring warmth to the rooms. In the case of chairs, it is common to combine the wood of the legs and backrest with the upholstery of the seat.

When it comes to integrating wood in the decoration, we cannot leave aside the coffee tables and auxiliary tables. In bedrooms, wood is often found in headboards and bedside tables.

Another design element that can be made of wood are decorative panels to dress the walls without hanging pictures. The wall can be partially or completely covered.

Wood recycling is a very simple thing indeed. You can find wood in many places, there are even places where people specifically leave their unused furniture and pallets for someone else to give them a second chance.

To recycle wood the first step is to check that it is dry. A wet wood will not be useful for building. Since like any element of nature, it has a life that if it is not cared for and treated, it rots.

After drying them, in case they were wet, we will have to sand them if necessary and then if, it will be necessary to varnish them so that they last.

The only thing left to do is to use your imagination, which you can help by doing a search on the internet where you will find many images and ideas.

Let's get to work and create! In a next post we will explain a more detailed step by step with some examples, as well as explaining how to use the tools correctly.
