Knock on wood

I often return to the material wood. All sorts of materials are naturally beautiful but I have my heart in the birch. Pine, ash, maple, oak – are all nice, by all means. It’s all about making sure that the different species of wood comes to their advantage in different environments. It is good to be careful not to mix without further reflection including colour selection. Since wood varies in different shades, this can create different colours in relation to the light during the day. Just take a look how living wood can look like & how incredibly beautiful it ages.

Black & wood / 214

Wood used & worn down until it fades or new timber that has its color & strength left … all kinds of wood are a luxurious feel. A natural materials that live & breathe with the house & the individuals who use it. It is neat with all types of materials & colors … regardless what applies right now. Timeless, simply! I’m very fond of wood & I use materials that I prefer, of course. It may well be pine, birch or oak, in the first place. Ash might be nice at times, but a little too lifeless for my taste. But as usual, it’s vital how to put it all together. The mix of furniture with flooring materials, colors, fabrics & lighting … in combination with the room size. Even the way the light falls from the windows. It may look a bit pale, yellow or rather, without natural freshness.

I’m right now very fond of darker wood combined with black. A feeling of the fifties without that specific style. Well, with that style too actually, since it’s very appealing. I’m more after the contemporary style with soul…not styled or just copied right off but well thought out & detailed. Take a look at the first two images below. That’s the feeling I mean. But by all means, different woods combined with black details – it always works.
