A wood decor reflects serenity, shelter and security. Somehow, it could be interpreted as a blessing of nature at home. Just  admire the photos of the project below and you will realise how grateful and uplifting an interior decorated with natural materials could feel. The residence – a symbiotic work between architect Ken Linsteadt and designer Erin Martin – is located in Sonoma county, a historically significant region of California, US. As you can easily notice, the entire house is dominated by wood, giving the impression that the owners live in a tree with its body rooted in earth and its crown dancing in the sky. While decorating with wood, a state of equilibrium is needed. Exaggerating with logs and timber or neglecting the sources of natural light may transform the wood decor into a stuffy, crowded place. Have a look and let us know if you enjoyed the project!

Vintage lamps add a kind of nostalgia without veering into country kitsch.

The architect unified the entrance facade by creating a tall portal defined by a boxy wood frame that announces unexpected changes within.
