Wood and interior design

Wood has become the star material in any decoration project. Nowadays, it is difficult to find an interior designer who does not integrate this material into their main works.

It's an element that brings warmth to the room; it's organic, very aesthetically pleasing, and above all, versatile and easy to combine. Its current prominence is closely related to the rise of the Nordic style and the trend towards natural, renewable materials.

Wood has thus become the absolute protagonist, both in exterior and interior architecture. It is not just an ornamental element; it is used in furniture and in all types of interior and exterior finishes.

The new Wood collection from Natural Series by Bathco is born from this trend. From this recovery of the natural and organic to emphasize the warmth of the bathroom.

Alejandro Gutiérrez and Luana García from the study Aedificare They are very aware of this trend and tell us about the importance of this material in their projects.

Wood has gone from being an aesthetic and ornamental resource to completely invading rooms. How have your projects been influenced?

Wood is in our DNA. We specialize in the restoration and rehabilitation of old homes. We treat wood with care, from the structure to the finishes, which is why it is always present in our projects in one way or another.

From your experience, what are the main advantages of this material?

Warmth, authenticity, and nobility.

It's a very versatile element in interior design. What resources does it offer when it comes to combining it with other materials or aesthetic trends?

It offers perfect balance and equilibrium in compositions with other elements and materials, achieving the perfect symbiosis in any decorative style. Its wide range and endless possibilities allow us to make it the focal point in any type of project we work on.

What do you think about the choice of this material for the bathroom?

Precisely in a room that at first glance feels cold due to the ceramic finishes or the predominance of white, wood provides that dose of quality and comfort that, as we said before, balances the space and makes it more pleasant.

The Wood Collection by Bathco aims for the complete integration of this material in the bathroom. What can wooden sinks bring to interior design?

A fixture as unusual as a wooden sink, after the initial surprise, denotes character and personality in the project. Becoming the focal point and the main element in the room.

In a Santander apartment you recently renovated, you lined the terrace walls with wood. Is this application compatible with a rainy city like ours?

Teak wood, which is the same used in boats, is the most suitable and weather-resistant, which is why we always use it outdoors.
