The Art of Timber: Simple Ways to Style grained Pieces

Bringing timber décor into your interiors adds warmth and character. At grained, we specialise in creating limited-edition interior accessories from reclaimed Australian messmate timber, each piece telling its own unique story through natural imperfections and distinctive grain patterns. Here are some simple and stylish ways to bring our sustainable pieces into your home or workspace:
Accent Tables as Focal Points
Beautiful and versatile, our Eris accent tables bring both purpose and personality to any room. Use one as a functional focal point in your entryway, a side table in a living room, or beside a sofa. In a bedroom, they make a great alternative to traditional bedside tables. Want to make a bigger impact? Combine two or three tables for a layered, nesting effect that adds interest to your room. The tones and textures of reclaimed wood pair beautifully with both sleek modern designs and more traditional décor.
Create Ambience with Timber Lamps
Lighting sets the mood in any room. Our distinctive, dimmable timber lamps are handcrafted to combine soft, warm light with the natural beauty of wood. Place our Luma light on a desk or side table for a cosy, atmospheric aesthetic, or use two to frame a bed or sofa for symmetry and balance. The Luma makes a stunning night light, with its clear epoxy hole patterns casting a textured glow that add intrigue to any space.
For a bold statement, our Solis light, with its geometric design and exposed light bulb, offers striking versatility. Place it on a table or position it on the ground to create a dramatic feature piece.
Elevate Greenery with Planters and Stands
Plants bring life to any room, and our Terra planters and Nova plant stands are the perfect way to showcase them. Biophilic design - bringing natural elements indoors - is more popular than ever, and mixing plants of different sizes and arranging them on stands at varying heights adds depth and interest to your space. It’s a simple yet stylish way to bring the outdoors in and make your home feel fresh and inviting.
Mix and Match Wood Tones
Don't hesitate to combine wood tones with subtle variations in shade and grain. Mixing slightly lighter and darker woods can create a dynamic look. For example, pairing a richly toned timber accent table with flooring or furniture in softer, muted hues can add depth and visual harmony. The key is to balance these variations to maintain a cohesive aesthetic.
Celebrate the Natural Details
Embrace the unique imperfections in reclaimed timber, such as knots, grain variations, and nail holes. These features add character and tell a story, making each object one-of-a-kind. Incorporating pieces with these natural details can enhance the authenticity and warmth of your interior, making any space feel warm and lived-in.
Sustainable Statement Pieces
Choosing handcrafted wood décor supports sustainable practices and adds meaningful, statement pieces to your interiors. A well-placed timber accessory can serve as a distinctive focal point, while reflecting your values and appreciation for artisanal craftsmanship.
Grounding Spaces with Timber
Timber décor works perfectly with neutral colour schemes. Its earthy tones combine effortlessly with whites, beiges, and greys, creating a calm and balanced look. In colourful spaces, timber adds a grounding effect, offering warmth and cohesion while enhancing the vibrancy of its surrounds. Whether your style is minimalist or bold, timber accents bring a natural, grounding touch to any room.
Adding handcrafted timber pieces to your spaces makes them feel personal and meaningful. Every piece we create at grained tells a story, bringing nature, sustainability, and craftsmanship into your interiors, while our unique designs are made to inspire and enhance your everyday spaces.
