When decorating your home, you want to create a living space that is uniquely your own. Oftentimes, you buy a home or rent an apartment that's a completely blank slate, taking the time to add custom wood furniture or sculpture pieces to really make the place seem lived-in. If you are wondering where to start, read this quick guide to decorating with wood furniture to learn how you can use and upgrade your existing furniture or even add new pieces that will balance your home while making a statement. 

How to Use Your Existing Furniture 

When it comes to decorating with wood furniture, try to create contrast in your rooms. If you have dark hardwood floors, place your light wood furniture in those rooms. It adds depth and creates an interesting space. Balancing the darker hardwood with a lighter color can look great if you have painted furniture, as too many dark wooden pieces can make your room dark or even crowded. Go for a colorful accent, like a pink or red color, if you want to paint your own furniture, a DIY tactic that will make any room pop. 

What to Add to Your Home

If you are looking to make new additions, there are many ways you can incorporate custom pieces into your home. From sculpture to organic art pieces, adding a beautiful wooden piece of wall art is a great way to bring the natural world into your home. Choose a large, statement wooden dining room table if your home currently lacks wooden elements. Try laying a rug under the table, or incorporating a rug into your bedroom if you currently have a wooden bed. Offsetting the wooden elements with color and different materials creates a comfortable, lived-in feel to your home.
