Items made of timber - whether they are furniture or accessories - add warmth and texture to any interior. Timber provides a great base, adding colour to soft furnishings, art and lighting. Invest in a major piece which can store and showcase items such as dinnerware, books, artefacts and collectibles - and then let your timber product become the main feature of a wall or room. Upgrading your look every few years then becomes a doable option. Timber furniture's texture and style carries through time, so you can use accent pieces and soft furnishings to constantly update the look and feel of your home. Another tip is to mix materials, such as wood and glass, or wood and metal, for a contemporary look which avoids bein coldly minimalist. Originals
