The benefits of wood in interior design

date

Wood is synonymous with strength, which is perhaps why it has been used over the centuries in the construction of quality homes and pieces of furniture. 

However, in recent years wood has been gaining a different prominence in the interior of our homes. It is possible to admire it not only in furniture but also in decoration. Architects and interior designers have long fallen in love with wood's delicacy and warm tones and have been developing projects in which this material is the protagonist. 

Besides the contemporary style that wood grants, it is also beneficial to our well-being. Just like plants that help reduce stress, the use of wooden surfaces in interior decoration can also improve our health, giving us serenity, peace, and the feeling of contact with nature. 

Recentemente foi revelado que 82% dos trabalhadores que foram expostos a oito ou mais superfícies de madeira no seu escritório estavam satisfeitos ou muito satisfeitos com o seu trabalho, em comparação com apenas 53% dos trabalhadores sem superfícies de madeira presentes no seu local de trabalho. Os interiores de madeira, cores neutras e elementos naturais melhoram a satisfação dos trabalhadores no local de trabalho, estimulam a criatividade e aumentam a eficiência.

With the increase in teleworking due to the COVID-19 pandemic, designers have further adopted this nature-inspired atmosphere into the home. Wood is being used in contemporary interior design in many ways, from the entire structure or just in architectural elements or small details.
