In an era when industrial and concrete designs are more popular than ever, it can be easy to forget the naturally beautiful look that can be created with high-quality wood. When wood grain and the many tones of wood are allowed to shine through, the design possibilities are virtually endless. In the  home featured in this post we see that not every home that is heavy on the wood needs to feel like a hunting cabin or an old man's den. These space are highly modern, bright, and warm but the natural, elegant wood element add something special to home.

The wood paneled walls are particularly eye catching, with horizontal slats creating an interesting texture and drawing the eye around the room while a unique coffee table is made from a thick slice of a beautiful red wood.

From wood paneled walls to natural wood furniture, the design highlights wood, not letting is fade into the neutral background like it often can.

In the dining area, open to the rest of the home due to the open floorplan, dining room pendant lights cast a soft and flattering glow.

Plenty of seating is always a good thing and here we see how one dining area flows easily into a kitchen breakfast bar.

The gray kitchen bar stools are in keeping with the largely neutral palette throughout the house.

Cream and white are natural complements to the wood coloring, seen here in gauzy curtains and plush dining chairs.

In the master bedroom, spotlight-inspired bedroom pendant lights are an interesting contrast to the otherwise highly rustic decor.

The wooden wall decor, including rich paneling and a very eye-catching piece over the bed, feels quite cozy and warm.

Interestingly, the bathroom is perhaps the most modern of all the spaces.

Wood comes into play only a bit in a few accents to unite the room with the rest of the house.
