Wood, or how to decorate under the influence of nature

Wood is the material that, par excellence, is known all over the world. It is especially common to see it in most of the spaces that are part of our day to day, whatever their nature. And it is that, really, it is one of the pieces that best combines with any decorative element and style and that best responds when it comes to achieving a timeless decoration, one that never goes out of style.

The success of wood when it comes to decorating any space, is not a product of chance. It is one of the few materials that has the innate gift of making us feel welcomed, protected and embraced.

Although it has always been part of the decoration of private and professional spaces, it is currently acquiring a special prominence, where the trend followed in interior design and decoration is the naturalistic trend.

A trend whose popularity is growing like foam. And it is that, interior design experts agree that decorating under the influence of nature, increases the feeling of general well-being. The textures, shapes, and colors that directly transport us to this habitat are the only ones capable of making us feel truly cozy, warm, and protected.

Designs that we recognize, that inspire us confidence and that immediately, reflect what we expect from a home: that warm and close hug that we expect from it. That personal and unique refuge.

Therefore, even though wood is one of the most popular materials since we have use of reason, the naturalist trend, of which it is the most faithful reflection, has allowed its success to take off to infinity, thus being a safe bet along with other natural materials such as natural fibers, raffia or wicker.

Textures that convey warmth, closeness, and protection, those connotations that make us feel safe, calm, and enveloped in an atmosphere of total comfort and well-being. That atmosphere that our home deserves, and we ourselves.

Microcement and wood: where avant-garde meets tradition

It's really interesting to decorate by creating contrasts. And this is precisely what the microcement and wood combo achieves. A very special contrast.

The warm, cozy and familiar feel of wood, that which automatically takes us home. A fusion with the purest innovation of decorative coatings without joints, the material that has been a real revolution in renovations without construction.

Two materials that, being almost opposites of each other, come together perfectly to create a scandalous duo. A fresh and modern combination while warm and soft. A winning mix.

And the purest reality is that microcement and wood form a successful pair despite the great differences they present in terms of hardness, color and touch. A total contrast to achieve completely exquisite decorative results.

The possibility of creating such a unique contrast, for example, with a wooden floor and a microcement wall. Two materials that, with their disparities, coexist in harmony and automatically create rooms endowed with special naturalness, warmth, and simplicity. Everything we desire in our pursuit of well-being.

If you love this mix as much as we do and you're eager to start combining microcement and wood in all your spaces, take note of the following interior designer tips to combine both materials and manage to create an atmosphere capable of exuding the warmth you're looking for. Capable of captivating you as you need.

Bet on minimalism

The minimalist style has been part of our lives for a while and, as experts warn, it has come to stay.

A style based on simplicity that reflects the most sophisticated beauty. An atmosphere characterized by the taste for simplicity. By the tendency to have the strict and necessary in the decoration of a home and to provide that distinctive touch not with elements, but with the combination of its textures and colors. A style that relaxes, that calms and that welcomes. Just like with the combination of microcement and wood.

Light to create attractive and enveloping spaces

Never forget that having a warm light source means succeeding in creating a cozy atmosphere.

Light is an essential element to achieve that "hug" we expect from any of the rooms in our home. You can choose to combine some lamps with each other to create completely different scenarios and give prominence to very specific surfaces or corners.

Wicker or rattan to enhance comfort

As we were saying, natural materials are perfect for recreating a pleasant feeling of comfort and warmth. Combined with wood, they achieve elegant, cozy spaces whose style is completely compatible with any decorative style.

A bet that never goes out of style (nor unnoticed).

Decoration with textures, shapes and sizes

One of the "musts" in current interior decoration, is the ability to make the simplest spaces, obtain a special distinctive touch. And this is easy to achieve by choosing the components that will form your room very selectively and playing with their textures, shapes and sizes to avoid overloading the spaces without them becoming bland or boring.

An option that is very fashionable is to play with the textures of nature (wicker, rattan, fibers...), the linen of the curtains, wool in bedspreads or rugs, and any type of texture that breaks and contrasts with the pursued minimalism.

Neutral colors: always, always, always

Choosing neutral colors in the decoration of interior spaces is a guarantee of success.

Neutral tones soften the aesthetics of the rooms. They manage to create a powerful visual effect in which spaciousness acquires special importance. A spaciousness that is always accompanied by brightness and that, therefore, is one of the winning combinations to achieve truly cozy spaces.

Neutral colors and their combination with microcement and wood, allow creating a world of decorative options that evoke any style, taste, and intention and that, also, reflect serenity and elegance.

Microcement: why it is ideal when combined with wood

The microcementit has been a real revolution in the world of jointless renovations. We are talking about a material as hard as an oak, resistant as much as possible and whose application is fine and light as a feather.

A jointless decorative coating that surprises everyone who tries it. It is applied with minimal thickness, between 1 mm and 3 mm, on the existing support that you wish to cover, in such a way that it ends with the existence of works, dust and generation of debris. The innovation in the transformation of spaces.

Its perfect blend of cement, water, and additives make it one of the strongest, hardest, and most resistant materials for coating all types of surfaces. A resistance that is not altered, regardless of being exposed to frequent traffic of people or vehicles, to the sun's rays or to inclement weather. Intact to abrasion, blows, and impacts, holding up in perfect condition without cracking or chipping. A true super material.

Of anti-slip character for the creation of the most stable and safe pavements, and with a waterproof property that prevents water filtration on its exterior and the appearance of moisture stains.

Some advantages and unique properties that make it a fantastic option for indoor or outdoor spaces, adhering perfectly to the existing support and without reducing the actual dimensions of the rooms. A winner if there ever was one.

Its aesthetics respond to the most authentic luxury. It imitates all types of textures and colors with finishes endowed by the purest exquisiteness and the most elegant aesthetics. A truly sophisticated aesthetic capable of endowing each corner with a most spectacular character.

Microcement and wood bathrooms: a highly sought-after alternative

A combination that achieves the purest success. Coating the bathroom floors with microcement, while opting for different shades of wood in the furniture and small details is ideal for those who opt for elegant but modern designs.

A union that reflects strength and durability while being able to make us enjoy a nice and warm bath. The alternative to the use of the most popular materials, such as ceramics or porcelain, to create a contrast in bathrooms that automatically make you feel more comfortable.

And it is that, the bathrooms, are one of the most frequented rooms in the house and also, inevitably. Hence, it is especially important that their abilities and aesthetics make us feel comfortable. As achieved by microcement and wood bathrooms.

Both materials can be equipped with a non-slip treatment for finishes that will withstand the passage of time, preserving the characteristic modern style achieved with this combination.

The small details in wood are the ideal complement to microcement, which is capable of reinforcing the natural character of the wood, thus creating a sense of greater spaciousness with continuous surfaces in which an interesting play of light and shadow is appreciated.

Microcement and wood kitchens: functional and modern

Kitchens have gone from being a room where we limit ourselves to preparing culinary tastings to becoming a place for meetings, social character, endless conversations or even, where to work. A multifunctional room that has been revalued in an incalculable way.

Since we are investing more and more time and actions between its floors and walls, we must take care of them, pamper them and protect them, as well as provide them with that aesthetic that can truly captivate us.

And the fact is, achieving a modern kitchen while also functional, can be quite a challenge for us. A challenge that does not conflict with simplicity or with variety in the combination of materials.

Wood enhances the warm and welcoming style we expect from a home. Its use in small details, such as the knobs of cabinets and drawers, shelves, or any culinary element that is decorative to the eye, is a key factor when it comes to providing distinction and exclusivity in these rooms.

On the other hand, the microcement floor, helps to enhance natural light and adds a sense of spaciousness that other market alternatives cannot boast. Its integration with wood elevates inspiration in the kitchen and creates rooms with an incalculable decorative value.

Dare to combine microcement and wood and create luxury rooms to make your home a true temple of comfort.
