Style Guide: How to Choose the Perfect Wood for High-Level Interior Design
What makes well-designed spaces so captivating? Wood is the undisputed protagonist. From robust tones to warmth, immerse yourself in the charm of these environments that highlight versatility. We assure you that the unique presence of these different types of wood will change everything. Let's discover them!
1. A TOUCH OF AUTHENTICITY
Thanks to its durability and elegance, natural woods are undoubtedly a gem in interior design. Solid wood floors, tables, and shelves bring spaces to life with their distinctive grain and ability to withstand the test of time. These woods are highly valued, of high quality, and ideal for exclusive designs. Whether hardwood, softwood, or tropical, each type brings its own unique characteristics, allowing a wide range of options to personalize and beautify any environment.
2. VERSATILITY IN LAYERS
Plywood boards are one of the budget-friendly options that fit any budget and offer great versatility. From furniture creation to wall coverings, this board provides strength and flexibility, allowing you to explore innovative designs without compromising functionality.
3. STYLE IN THIN LAYERS
Veneered wood or wood veneer is the perfect choice for those looking to capture the authentic appearance of wood at a lower cost. With a layer of natural wood adhered to a lighter base, this material offers a wide range of finishes and styles. Whether for furniture, doors, or even decorative details, these boards provide a refined aesthetic that makes them an attractive option for those seeking quality and an excellent finish.
4. A PRACTICAL SOLUTION
If you're looking for a cost-effective and functional option, particleboard is your ally. Ideal for shelves, bulky furniture, or decorative panels, this board not only offers stability but is also versatile and easy to work with. So, because particleboard is composed of wood particles bonded with resins, it tends to swell or decompose in humid environments.
5. WOOD AND RESIN IN ONE ELEMENT
Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) is excellent for refined details. It’s manufactured from wood fibers and resin, pressed and heated to form a dense and homogeneous board. Whether in interior doors or delicate moldings, this board offers a uniform surface that lends itself to clean finishes.
6. AN EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE
For areas prone to moisture and wear, melamine boards are the appropriate choice. It is made of particles or MDF coated with a layer of paper impregnated with melamine resins. A feature that provides strength and durability to the board's surface. Although it’s a low-cost option, its quality is quite good, especially in bathrooms and kitchens.
7. A CUTTING-EDGE OPTION
High-pressure laminate (HPL) stands out as the advanced option for those seeking durable and attractive surfaces. It has a good finish for floors and countertops. Composed of layers of Kraft paper impregnated with phenolic resin and coated with a decorative top layer, this excellent quality material provides an ideal combination of strength and aesthetics. So, the uniformity in the printing of the boards may detract from the natural look of wood.
