Whether it’s white oak, mahogany, or maple – wood stands the test of time in interior design. 

A natural element, such as wood, has the ability  to complement different design styles and create a sense of warm minimalism that has contributed to its popularity over the years. In 2024, there are still luxurious ways to branch out and incorporate fine wood finishes.

 

Hardwood flooring is highly sought after, not only for its natural and warm look but also for its durability and versatility. This material can maintain its beautiful appearance for years and can also be sanded down and refinished to fit any design renovations. DUCHATEAU is a must-know brand that offers luxury, European-style engineered, hardwood floors and also high-quality floor cleaners

Each of DUCHATEAU’s collections has a distinctive character and exclusive finishes that complement any space. The Global Winds Collection reflects the company’s passion for the natural beauty of the wood. All with a white oak base, the six different finishes are inspired by a unique local wind found across the globe. Each global wind style appears to be made by natural elements of sun, wind, and time. For example, the “Sirocco” finish reflects the warm gusts of the Aegean Sea. The final product is a raw visual of a luminous soft white as if it had been washed out by the Mediterranean sun.

DUCHEATEAU continues to find its inspiration in nature with the Terra collection, influenced by unique natural ecosystems around the world. The collection has five different finishes that draw inspiration from subarctic snow forests all the way to coastal shrublands. The Savanna finish has a rich tan glow that brings to mind African Grasslands. Offered in both wide-plank and herringbone patterns, the terra collection is sure to fit any space.

While the floor might be a more common place to find wood in a home, wood finishes are starting to pop up in some surprising areas as well. For example, Louis Vuitton is offering a Monogram Wood Coffret de Voyage, a small wooden box that is perfect for small trinkets around the home or prominently displayed on a coffee table. In addition, the Goyard Purple Goyardine Canvas Structured Saigon Mini purse is complete with an elegant wood handle.

In April, California Faucets introduced new bath fixtures  – the San Elijo Series. This is the company’s first faucet that incorporates real wood in the design. With a softened contemporary look, San Elijo features gently rounded teak handles. The wood has a rich grain pattern, which infuses texture and natural beauty into the design.

The bath faucet brings a refreshing modern appeal combined with a natural warmth. The San Elijo Faucets can fit any homeowner’s design vision with over 25 artisan finishes and even options for a split-finish look. Additionally, the teak wood can be paired with numerous brass finishes to create a clean and contemporary style faucet. Finally, San Elijo comes with a wide array of coordinating accessories – making it the perfect fit for any luxury bathroom.
