10 warm and rustic residential interiors clad in timber

19 Okt. 2022  •  Spezifikation  •  By Surabhi Patil

For centuries timber has been a popular choice for interiors owing to its cosy aesthetic and durability. Typically used as a cladding for walls, floors, wainscotings and ceilings, timber as a material shows ample versatility. 

 

Clad in diverse types of wood, ranging from pale plywood to darker woods like oak, walnut and pine, these interiors instil a warm and welcoming feel. The generous use of timber creates enticing spaces reflecting country life with a modern touch.  

 

A subtle reference to the past yet deeply embedded in the present, rustic timber-clad homes show timeless elegance. The following list comprises ten such homes where timber takes centre stage.
