When To Use Oak In Home Design

The use of oak in the home can be a sign of luxury and modernity in design. Home cabinets in Vancouver and their designs are beginning to implement the use of oak as a touch of luxury to newly constructed homes. Before you begin designing your dream home, you must first ask yourself what materials you want to use. Not only which materials, but also when and where to use them. To avoid prolonged disquisition, here are three very effective ways to implement oaks into your home design.

Exposed Wooden Beams

You’ll find that in most modern rustic homes, they utilize oak display beams. These beams are not essential to the home’s structure but simply a means of displaying the use of high quality materials. Some homes use plaster and other materials for this as a means of reducing price. With this price reduction comes a significant reduction in class. Oak trimmings, especially darker oaks, put the perspicacious abilities of the interior designer on the forefront. The use of dark oaks in trimmings and ceiling design help separate luxury homes from the bland contemporary homes of today.

Wall Panels & Appliance Trimmings

In order to avoid a misanthropic atmosphere, modern fine dining restaurants utilize oak wall panels as well as oak trimmings around their appliances. This helps create an essence on homeliness without taking away from the luxury and esteem of the fine dining establishment. Again, in these situations, you will most often see the utilization of darker oaks. It is more often associated with class and luxury, especially in the Vancouver restaurant décor scene.

Cabinetry

Custom Cabinetry in Vancouver has always been a staple of luxury and elegance. A question we frequently receive is “which kind of wood should I use?” After consulting the home owners, often we find ourselves recommending oak. A trusty, elegant wood which surpasses other woods which may often come across perfidious. Keep in mind that darker oaks do not fancy the tastes of everyone so if you’re looking for something lighter you can opt to use Garry Oak. Garry Oak is on the lighter side and it is native to British Columbia. Though lighter oaks come across less luxurious, they add a peaceful quiescence to the atmosphere. For this reason we recommend their use in living room cabinets and bedroom cabinets.
