How to Use Live-Edge Wood Accents in Your Home Design
So, why should you integrate live-edge coffee tables in your home design?
They simply bring a rustic look to your home, giving it more character and a stand-out look that you will adore!
Not two live-edge coffee tables are the same, and every room they inhabit is just as unique.
The design pros of JarvisInteriors can help you choose and integrate the best live-edge wood pieces for your home.
You can combine design trends in your living spaces by adding a live-edge element. These are how:
1- Find a showstopper. According to Tineke Triggs, owner of Artistic Designs for Living and interior designer, a homeowner's desire for stand-out design and mixed materials is satisfied by having a walnut coffee table that retains the original tree's outlines. You can decorate the rest of the space with modern artwork and colors, but the natural edge of the wood tabletops adds something special—it is neither square nor rectangular.
She claims that it is the jewelry in the room.
2- Get hints from nature. Natalie Lebeau, senior interior designer at SLC Interiors, makes use of little accents to a room once the main pieces of decor are in place. These elements complement the organic textures and natural colors of the live-edge coffee table.
This will make a modern and sterile room design warmer and cozier.
She incorporates natural color into a space with throws, accessories, and cushions, including chestnut-watercolor pillows.
3- Enhance visual interest. A formal living area can have warmth and character by putting a live-edge coffee table. For example, a finished piece can be from a slab of claro walnut resting on a polished steel sleigh-leg base.
You will enjoy incorporating these wood pieces into a room because live-edge items bring it texture and visual appeal.
According to Merrill Alley, lead designer at Urbanspace Interiors, one of the best things about natural wood is that it isn't restricted to any certain style. Using a live-edge piece can help create a cohesive element when combining pieces with different aesthetics.
4- Highlight every style. Live-edge tables are a great way to bring together classic, modern, and rustic architectural features in a home, according to Brittney Fischbeck, owner of Abodwell Interior Design. A live-edge table can breathe fresh life into a gray Portuguese limestone floor, white art exhibit walls, and a limestone wall along the stairs. It creates a striking contrast to the rest of the room with its warm colors and curved design.
5- Consider the occupants of the space. Creating a fun area for hula-hooping and other enjoyable games or activities means designing with safety in mind. For instance, a live-edge coffee table with a beachy vibe and gentle, sanded edges would be a great piece as it won't give anyone splinters.
Style does not have to be dismissed to have child friendly space. You can still achieve a room that looks collected and very organic where every piece has a unique texture and feels special.
