Wooden Objects for the Home

A decorated object at home does not hold the same status as a finished purchased item: we know how it was made, we remember the moment, and it tells a story. This is what makes wooden interior decoration different from a simple decor purchase, even when the result looks similar. Our selection brings together raw wooden objects to paint and personalize for the home, to treat piece by piece or to create a coherent set.

Decorate several objects rather than just one

This principle changes everything. An isolated decorated object remains just that; three objects sharing a palette or technique become a decoration. Unity can be achieved through color, by using two or three shades on different supports. Through technique, by applying the same treatment everywhere, whether varnish, glue, or solid paint. Or through pattern, by repeating the same graphic element at different scales. This is also a good way to spread out a project: one piece at a time, without diving into a full renovation.

Painting for a specific room

The context of use influences choices more than one might think.

In a living room, shades that match existing furniture work better than bright colors, which can quickly become dated.

In a child's room, the opposite is true: bold colors and figurative patterns are expected, and the object will be replaced as the child grows.

In an entryway or bathroom, humidity requires a protective finish, varnish or oil, on exposed pieces.

A light sanding before painting and two thin coats remain the foundation, regardless of the destination.

Extending decoration to other rooms

The same treatment easily extends from one room to another. Our wooden objects for decorating the kitchen follow the same logic with boards, utensils, and table elements, and our wooden objects for the office with storage and work accessories. For storage, a wooden box to decorate or a wooden basket to decorate naturally integrate into an already treated set.

Composing a wall and surfaces

On a wall, several elements are better than one large piece. A wooden photo frame to paint, a few wooden shapes to decorate interspersed, and the composition holds. To add texture, wooden logs and our raw wood contrast well with painted pieces. On a table or shelf, our raw wooden candle holders complete the ensemble with a warm light.

Personalizing with a name or message

The wooden letters to decorate allow you to inscribe a word or name on any of these supports, and the wooden embellishments add relief without repainting. For other shapes to work with the same techniques, find our complete range of wooden supports to decorate.
