After all the opulence of the booming noughties, designers have shifted and are opting for natural recycled materials – unpolished and a little “diamond in the rough”.Natural bare wood has been featured everywhere in every shape imaginable – from soft smooth curves to beautifully simple angles.

Take interior design inspiration from classic yachts; choose light colours like cool creams and antique white, contrast with navy, slate and fire engine red for a classic nautical look which sits beautifully with bare unfinished pieces.

With a softer, almost gentle utility approach to interior design, bare wood pieces are easy to style and and like any good classic will age beautifully.

With so many different styles available, you can choose something that works for you and your home.

Bare Wood pieces look great with fresh, bright and airy spaces, and/or utility styled rooms. Get the best out of your wood furniture, opt for good hardwoods like oak.
