The look of wood in residential design is timeless. From furniture and floors to doors and windows, natural wood is consistently a popular choice. So why is it also considered an emerging trend? With countless ways to finish wood with ever-evolving stains and style techniques, it’s easy to understand the revival in interest. “I’ve seen evolution in how visible the knots are, whether people want detailed or minimal wood grain,” Tinnell says. “Stain coloring is another area where you’ll see trends come and go, though some classic time-tested stains will always be in demand.” Current wood finish trends are all about bringing the feel of the outdoors inside.

Wood is often considered the ideal choice due to its natural warmth, timeless beauty, and wide variety of design options.

What is Wood Composite? When it comes to windows and patio doors, wood composite is the…

Inclusivity is becoming increasingly important in both social and executive environments. This concept also extends into the building community since designing and constructing an inclusive structure requires a different approach. But what does inclusive design actually mean? Inclusive design, also known as universal design, refers to the process of creating a building that can be accessed by all individuals, regardless of age or disability. In other words, every space within the property is easy to access, it doesn’t include any design elements that could inhibit how an individual moves throughout the space, and it ensures that everyone can engage with the structure as intended and with ease. In the last couple of years, structures with inclusive design have been gaining more exposure through well-deserved awards and recognition.
