Kiss The Woods And Log In

Sneaking out from the thrum and bustle of the city life to a quieter and pristine place, like a wooden forest home, sounds so refreshing. How about living in a cozy wooden home against an undefiled pine forest backdrop? It is not a fairy tale. It is possible to build a wooden house and live right there.

Generally, timber construction specialists build wooden houses in the forest because they aren't extravagant like city apartments, but are definitely a soul-appeasing abode. They look organic and fit well in an unbridled landscape. Contrary to its raw look, the choice and the finishing of the wood makes the wooden cottage look like a modern forest home. And to get that woody feel at home without having the need to go to the woods is truly possible.

Face to face
Windows mark the soul and the façade of any wooden house, which is usually built on a platform. A wooden home is always made up of timber panels stashed horizontally and vertically to look splendiferous. From a distance, it may look like a log cabin. To give a woody look to the exterior of your house, the outer walls have to be painted in muted accents like brown or taupe. Replace plain doors and windows with French doors to complete that idyllic look. The overall appearance of your house will decide the woody quotient of your home.

Wood land
Climbing creepers along with lavender bushes, low-lying shrubs and developing trees will be suitable at the entrance or pathway. Also, rig up a wooden railing flanked on either side of the pathway. If you already have some trees around the entrance or big flowery bushes, it will enhance the look when pathway lamps are lit in the evening. In case no natural greenery is available, stone topiary planters can dot the area.

Looking inside
For a wooden home, timber cladding adds warmth to the exteriors as well as interiors of the house. If your home isn't darkly painted inside, it will eventually demand wooden-coloured walls. You can re-paint them with any shade of brown or fix up woody wallpapers. To complement this style, polish the inside doors and windows with dark woody hues. In a wooden home everything looks woody, so you need to roll out dark wooden flooring. This should be extended from bedrooms to the lounge to the kitchen and dining area. And for a feel of foliage, place area rugs beneath dining tables or around light davenports in your guest room. To light up the home's overall mood, fix up old-world sconces on planks attached to walls. This move will truly romanticize your existence. When it comes to furniture setting, keep light-coloured furniture stashed against walls as that plays off fantastically against a woody theme. A light-coloured wooden shelf full of books and rovers is the best addition to have the exquisite woody ambience at your place.

So, knock on wood and log in.
