The solid oak trend to enhance your interior

While materials such as lacquer, metal and glass have made their appearance at various times in trendy decorations, wood has never lost its place as the great favorite. Mahogany, cherry and pine have all had their moments of glory, but today it's oak that's back in the public eye. Here's a look at how to integrate solid oak into your interior.

The advantages of solid oak furniture

Opting for solid oak or, more generally, solid wood furniture is a choice we rarely regret. Solid wood furniture stands the test of time much better. It's solid, won't warp, won't lose its shine if you take good care of it, and will last for generations without problems (it's not uncommon to see solid wood furniture with an antique style become modern after being customized, for example).

What's more, the beautiful quality of well-crafted solid wood furniture will be much more pleasing and authentic to the eye. What's more, solid oak is a material that can be used raw or stained, that can take many shapes and also blend beautifully with other materials.

Solid oak in the living and dining room

In the living room, solid oak will easily take its place, whatever the size of the room. In fact, the word "solid" may give the impression of a thick, imposing piece of furniture, but it's nothing of the sort. Solid oak furniture can also be stylish and refined.

For example, you could opt for a solid oak coffee table with metal legs or a glass top, like the CHALET coffee table. The shapes can be varied, and if you have a small space, you can opt for nesting tables that can be modulated as you wish

Still on the table side, the dining room table can also be in solid oak. For example, you could opt for a dining room table made entirely of oak, matched with different chairs to create a completely trendy space.

Storage units can also be made of solid wood. A TV cabinet, for example, is a great way to integrate a beautiful piece of wood into your living space, but you can also opt for a Mobilier de France sideboard, which combines the modern look of wood with its warmth.

You can also opt for a solid oak bookcase. If you want to avoid the "block" effect, you can choose one with an openwork design to hold books, Blu-Rays, plants and decorative objects.

More than just the most important pieces of furniture in the room, it's also possible to add touches of solid oak to your living room. You could opt for a small side table, or a log-shaped stool that's been seen a lot in trendy interiors in recent months. You could also opt for a solid oak serving dish or a wooden lamp base, which would take the usual use of this material out of context and add a touch of modernity to your decor.

Solid oak in the kitchen and bathroom

Solid oak pieces can also be used in bathrooms and kitchens. For example, a beautiful china cabinet in the kitchen, or a storage unit and appropriate seat in the bathroom. For example, wall-mounted ladders are very popular in the bathroom, allowing you to hang clothes and towels without taking up too much space. Touches of wood are extremely fashionable in these rooms, which are often devoid of them.

A central island in the form of a solid oak bar table is a great way to break up the cold, rigid feel of the kitchen and create a convivial space around which to gather. This will bring a touch of warmth and modernity to the space, making it even more pleasant to live in.

Solid oak in the bedroom

Finally, solid oak furniture can also be found in the bedroom. First of all, the bed can be designed in this material, opting for a simple, uncluttered cut or, for example, a headboard as seen on beds from the Meubles Celio collections. The headboard can also be chosen separately from the rest of the bed. In recent months, we've been seeing a lot of headboards with a raw floor effect, which gives the room a natural feel.

There are also more elaborate pieces with built-in storage to save space in smaller bedrooms. Bedside tables in solid oak are also highly appreciated, allowing you to play with a combination of materials if you so wish. What's more, clothes storage units such as solid oak chests of drawers or wardrobes are also highly appreciated, combining practicality and aesthetics for a bedroom with a soft, warm environment.

All in all, solid oak is a highly appreciated material that will find its place in every room of the house, from small elements to more imposing ones. It's easy to match with all kinds of colors and materials, as well as with different decorating styles.
