Wood Wonders: Styling Interiors with Timber Accents
Timber brings warmth, texture, and a timeless beauty that never goes out of style. Whether it’s raw, polished, reclaimed, or painted, wood adds natural character to any interior. At Savvy Spaces, we guide clients in using timber accents thoughtfully—all through our remote interior design platform.
From Scandinavian simplicity to rustic charm, timber transforms ordinary rooms into grounded, inviting spaces. Here’s how you can use wood to reimagine your home.
Why do we use it?
🪵 Why Wood Works in Every Interior
Wood is more than a surface or frame—it’s a mood. Depending on how it’s used, timber can feel cozy, refined, edgy, or earthy.
Key Benefits of Using Timber in Interior Design:
-
Natural warmth and texture
-
Works in both modern and traditional styles
-
Sustainable and eco-friendly when sourced responsibly
-
Durable and long-lasting
-
Pairs easily with other materials like metal, stone, and glass
🪑 Popular Timber Accents & Where to Use Them
Looking to bring wood into your space? Here are top applications our designers suggest:
🖼 Accent Walls
A wood-clad wall—whether shiplap, slats, or reclaimed planks—creates a warm focal point without overwhelming the room.
🪟 Ceiling Beams
Exposed timber beams add architectural character and depth, especially in neutral spaces.
🪴 Furniture
From solid oak dining tables to walnut coffee tables, wooden furniture is both sturdy and stylish. We help you pick pieces that fit your aesthetic.
🧱 Flooring
Natural wood flooring instantly elevates a room, whether it’s classic hardwood or engineered timber in herringbone or wide planks.
🪟 Window Frames & Doors
Wood-framed windows or statement doors can subtly unify your interior with the natural world outside.
🛋 Shelving & Storage
Floating timber shelves or custom-built cabinetry can turn practical storage into a design element.

We advise where and how to integrate timber—like anchoring a room with a wood table, adding accent walls, or layering wood textures.
5. Styling Tips
We offer tips on how to care for wood, layer tones, and mix materials for contrast (e.g., timber and black metal or timber and marble).
