Natural Wood Is Making a Comeback in Interior Design

There are so many different interior design trends that come and go as the years pass. While natural wood has been around for a long time, this might be the year for it to make a serious comeback in both traditional and modern New York residences.

The beauty of the most classic design trends is that they can evolve to fit various tastes. And while everyone has their own style that might swing differently with natural woods, there are so many ways it can work well. Here are some of the reasons why natural wood is making a comeback in interior design.

1. Earthy Vibes

One way that natural wood can truly shine in any home is by going back to those youthful, bohemian, earthy vibes. Whether you had your boho phase in college or you’re still deep in it, natural wood can bring a sophisticated, earthy feel to any room.

From furniture to floors, the neutral tones and unique washes of natural woods can bring any space together and make it feel even more connected to nature. For example, take this luxury SoHo residence, which incorporates floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall natural wood cabinetry. The residence softens modern sharp angles with a grounded, natural feel.

2. Vintage Design

Maybe you don’t want to take things all the way back to the earth, but you do want to bring in a bit of vintage charm. If that’s the case, natural wood might be worth looking into.

While furniture and fixtures play big roles in this, natural wood flooring can set the foundation for every vintage direction — from Victorian to mid-century modern. If you can find original flooring or real vintage furniture, that’s even better.

One of the best ways to incorporate natural wood in a vintage style is to mix and match different pieces throughout your home. For example, if you're interested in adding a rustic touch, you might want to view barn style doors that can easily bring that classic, warm feel to any space. You may also add vintage light fixtures or use reclaimed wood for shelving and accents.

The Philip House condos in Carnegie Hill are the perfect example of vintage inspiration in action. This prewar building is renovated for modern use, but still incorporates natural wood flooring and cabinetry evoke a timeless feel.

3. Organic Color Palette

For those who love neutral, organic color palettes, natural wood might be exactly what you need. 

If you tend to go for minimalist black-and-white tones in your usual decor, bringing in some natural wood can add some dimension without overpowering your creative vision. This can be seen in popular trends embracing natural touches like interior barn doors or natural wood kitchen cabinets.

If you tend to veer more towards a varied neutral color palette, natural woods can even add a bit more depth to what you already have in your home. Neutrals are the hot new thing, so it makes sense to add to the subtle and sophisticated look.

4. Artistic Shapes

If you’re going more neutral in the color department, there are plenty of areas where you can suddenly play — even if you didn’t realize it before. One of the areas you can begin to explore is shape and texture.

Usually, color and color design dominates a room, especially if you tend to go bright and bold. But when you’re leaning into natural woods and neutral colors, you can go for more interesting furniture shapes, layer textures on top of one another, and even mix and match. Features like exposed beams and original molding can shine when you go for a more natural look.

5. Comfortable and Cozy

One thing that it’s important to keep in mind is the comfort factor, which happens to be another area where natural wood totally shines.

Natural wood is subdued but also cozy and warm. Not only are the features of each wood unique and personal, but they also offer a bit of a rustic feel that’s perfect for those looking to bring a bit of comfort into their home. For example, if your home is bright and minimal but feels a bit cold, natural wood can bring in the bit of warmth you need.

6. Natural Wood’s Natural Comeback

While many people still love the minimal chic looks that have been popular in recent years, natural wood is all about comfort and sophistication. While natural wood can add to a space that embraces minimal design, it can also create a warm, homey, and vintage feel if that’s what you like. If you are wondering how you can add wood design to your new home, check out Forever Home's guide.

No matter your taste, natural wood may just be able to do a lot for your home, whether you find gorgeous vintage floors or fall in love with a piece you just can’t live without. Do you enjoy a vintage, earthy, or neutral style the most?

1st Look Inside Upper East Side's Newly-Finished Tallest Tower

Credit: Sean Hemmerle

There’s a new tallest tower in the Upper East Side, located at 180 East 88th Street, DDG's latest masterpiece and the tallest residential building on the Upper East Side north of 72nd Street.

One of the most exciting features about 180e88 is its extensive selection of amenities, unprecedented on the Upper East Side and for residential buildings of this intimate scale. The remarkable spaces have just opened and have been designed by Hadas Dembo of Mise en Scene Design, who also designed a collection of stunning model residences throughout the building. Spanning eight floors, the amenities include a half-court indoor basketball court and partial indoor soccer pitch, wine room, game room, fitness center and yoga studio, residents' lounge and an imaginative children's playroom. The elegant spaces are as thoughtful and elegant as 180e88's distinguished homes.
Designed by DDG and inspired by the boom in high-rise masonry construction in New York in the early 20th century, 180 East 88th Street pays homage to the lost art of traditional craftsmanship and features iconic arches and a striking hand-laid brick façade made of nearly 600,000 handmade bricks by Denmark’s master brickworks Petersen Tegl. The development is home to 47 half- and full-floor residences. Closings are underway and immediate occupancy is available.

Wow Your Friends With The Perfect Cheese Board with Chef Sarah Copeland

Throughout the last year, cheese and charcuterie boards have flooded social media, with new and inventive takes on how to turn a basic board into a beautiful work of art. What else was there to do, right? We’re here to share with new tips and tricks from chef and author Sarah Copeland of Edible Living on how to create beautiful and delicious cheese boards to make these monotonous weekends at home feel a little more festive. Sarah Copeland has partnered with Plume & Petal, to teach you how to elevate your cheese boards, which pair perfectly with a Plume & Petal cocktail.

Sarah’s Top Tips Are

1. Pick a cheese from four different categories: creamy, distinctive, funky and crowd-pleaser

2. Add a variety of different flavors and textures from your charcuterie to your snacks, with crunchy Asian pear and cascading nuts and berries

3. Make sure everything is accessible with small pieces in an easy-to-grab layout

4. Use a lot of small dishes, spoons and forks to make it easy for everyone to enjoy the board and mitigate cross contamination

5. More is More! Squeeze as much as you can on the board

Recipe for Plume & Petal Lemon Drift Spritz below!

A serve that’s as simple as it is special, add a splash of club soda to Plume & Petal Lemon Drift for any moment, big or small. An added bonus, it can be easily batched as a spectacular group serve.

Ingredients:

1.5 oz. Plume & Petal Lemon Drift

3 oz. High-quality Club Soda

Garnish: Signature Fruit Garnish – Cucumber Slices, Lemon Wheels, or Peach Slices

Glass: Wine glass

Directions: Build in wine glass over ice. Garnish with 3 lemon wheels. May be served in carafe for a group serve.

To complement the board, we recommend pairing the charcuterie board with Plume & Petal libations. Crisp and refreshing, the three variants of Plume & Petal (Peach Wave, Cucumber Splash, Lemon Drift) contain only 83 calories and are a great, lighter alternative to wine.

Brown Harris Stevens, one of the country’s largest privately owned real estate brokerages, has announced its agent award recipients recognized for outstanding production companywide and by region in 2020.  This marks the first awards ceremony since Brown Harris Stevens restructured to incorporate Halstead and celebrated both incoming and legacy Brown Harris Stevens agents. 

Due to Covid safety protocols, the interactive web-based ceremony was produced entirely in-house by the Brown Harris Stevens marketing team in conjunction with BrandLive. The awards were presented virtually to the agents by CEO Bess Freedman, New York City President Hall Willkie, Executive Chairman Diane Ramirez and Regional President Richard Grossman. The event also featured remarks by Terra Holdings Co-Chairmen William Zeckendorf and David Burris as well as Brown Harris Stevens COO Alan Kersner. 

Headlining the ceremony was special guest speaker Amy Purdy,  a celebrated Paralympic athlete, author, and renowned motivational speaker. Musical accompaniment was courtesy of a motivational Spotify list curated by Freedman herself with selections ranging from Broadway tunes to Hip-hop. BHS employees were also recognized for their hard work during the pandemic with a "night out on BHS" gift card to GrubHub.

“The 2020 Awards ceremony was the first time we truly celebrated together as one company and really showcased the depth of talent and breadth of our reach. I am so proud of the award recipients, and all of our incredible agents. This was a challenging year, but we got through it together, and are stronger for it,” said Freedman.
