Wooden Shelves

More about Wooden Shelves

Wood is a timeless material: we can’t predict the future (working on it) but we can be sure that designers will still be using oak, pine, and mahogany to craft enduring objects for decades to come. Plus with endless varieties of stains and treatments, it’s ever so versatile. But if you need a few specific ideas on how to incorporate wooden shelves into your look, we’ve got you!

A bold move in a space is to create visual contrasts: think about wearing a flowing, almost-formal white blouse with vintage black jeans--a perfect mix of casual and smart. In any room that tends more towards metal and synthetic furniture, say a dining room with an industrial vibe, you can do this using organic materials like wood. Wooden shelves with industrial-chic ornaments, like brass sculptures or a lamp made from repurposed materials, seamlessly blend these two moods for a sophisticated effect. Bamboo placemats on the dining table work well as a nod to this contrast and help add a bit of warmth to the space.

We also love to use natural, untreated wooden shelves in a room to foster a chill, laid-back vibe. If you have a room with a lot of beige, cream, and white, blond wood helps keep things tranquil while adding plenty of useful space to store necessities. Try this out in your bedroom to feel like you’re relaxing on the Mediterranean even on a lazy Sunday. Bonus points if you add a big print of the sea or the beach to really get the vibe right, and some breezy shag rugs in marine colors.
