4 Hardwood Furniture Design Tricks to Modernize Your Home

Hardwood furniture can add a touch of warmth and sophistication to any room, but it can also look dated if not styled correctly. Here are 4 tricks to modernize your home with hardwood furniture.

1. Neutral Tones

One of the most important tips for redesigning your home is choosing the right color palette. You found that drawing traditional inspiration from nature was a great way to create a warm and inviting space. For example, you could use walnut colors in the living room to evoke the feeling of a cozy fireside.

2. Choose High-Quality Hardwood

If you are looking for a way to add warmth, beauty, and sustainability to your home, solid eco-friendly hardwood is a great option.

Here are some things to keep in mind when choosing solid eco-friendly hardwood:

• The type of wood: Some woods are more sustainable than others. For example, rubber-wood is a fast-growing wood that is often considered to be a sustainable option.
• The finish: The finish used on the wood can also affect its sustainability. Look for finishes that are low-VOC and contain no harmful chemicals.
