Rustic, beautiful and incredibly versatile, wood is one of the most common materials used in the home. Chances are, you’ve got at least one piece of wooden furniture but what about using it on walls or floors?

It can create an unexpected statement

When used on a whole wall or as a headboard in bedrooms, wood can add warmth and drama to rooms. There is a huge variety of timber cladding available, so explore the options.
