How to Give Your Home a Lovely Oak Interior Style

Filed Under: BLOG, home improvement Tagged With: Home Improvement

Are you getting bored with the same old look of your home interior? In this article, we’ll give you some new ideas on how to freshen up the interior style of your house. Nowadays, people are able to indulge their creative sides by doing total house makeovers on their own. 

There are a lot of fashionable styles out there right now, such as industrial, minimalist, and contemporary styles. You have a comprehensive range to choose from, but the most flattering styles are usually those that involve wooden materials, especially oak.

What is Oak?

Woods that are used to craft furniture are usually obtained from pine, maple, walnut, mahogany, or oak trees. Among these materials, oak is considered to have great strength and durability. Its high level of tannin protects it from insect and fungal attacks. It is also able to endure weathering and other similar problems found in wooden materials.

Why is Oak an Attractive Material?

Oak is quite versatile and has a classic appeal. Other wooden materials do not have as wide a spectrum of colour as oak does. Oak ranges from light brown, right up to pink-red. Its grain marking is also the most appealing amongst the others because it usually appears in a swirled and/or striped pattern. Oak is considered a beautiful combination of elegance and sturdiness; even the current desk of the Oval Office is made of this material!

Oak Doors

One way to give your interior a fresher look is by changing the color of the walls or switching out the old windows and doors. Doors are the most impactful way to change the look and feel of a room. You can replace your old doors with sleek-looking oak doors to upgrade the entire home. 

Oak doors are also great at keeping out noises because of how dense and heavy they are. This qualifies them as terrific sound barriers, enabling you to get some peace and quiet in each room.

Oak Furniture

If you are changing a room into a more rustic style, then oak furniture is the perfect element to add. 

One of the factors that you should pay attention to when choosing furniture is its functionality. Apart from its decorative appeal, furniture made from oak is very firm and, therefore, sustainable. Other materials are not quite as durable and would not last as long. 

Oak flooring

Oak is also considered the best material for hardwood flooring, due to its durable quality, which does not thin over time. Genuine oak hardwood flooring can last as long as 200 years. It adds a sophisticated and classy look when installed in a room. This kind of flooring performs quite well in both dry and humid seasons. The grain patterns also help to hide the appearance of scratches that come with time and daily use.

Final thoughts

Oak can be incorporated in whatever style you choose for your home, be it industrial, rustic, or even Scandinavian. This wood’s natural colors allow you to mix and match the style with other warm hues. We would suggest pairing oak materials with earth-toned colors, such as green, brown, or light brown, to create a picture-perfect color scheme for your home. You could also look into Mexican Tile as an alternative. But whatever decision you make try to have fun doing so.
