Accessorising your Solid Oak Living Room

Excuse the pun, but solid oak is about as solid a foundation as you will find for your room. Ethnicraft's unique contemporary designs, coupled with the durable long-lasting medium of oak, create a desirable modern living room style. The furniture is, of course, the biggest part of the room. A large oak sideboard will likely be the biggest statement you will make in your room, that's for sure. The difference between a nicely furnished living room and a finished contemporary interior is how you accessorise your furniture. We've made a short list of ways you can get the best out of your solid oak furniture.

FRESH FLOWERS- We're always banging on about fresh flowers, but they really do make a difference to an interior. Ethnicraft's oak furniture is the perfect way to display a beautifully nourished wood grain, and flowers and a continuation of that natural theme. They also enable you to inject colour into your room in a subtle yet noticeable way.

WOODEN SCULPTURE- Continuing with the theme of nature, wooden sculptures are a perfect way to complement the natural grain of solid oak. It's usually best to choose darker woods in order to create a slight contrast. A rustic driftwood sculpture is a great way of expressing style, as well as highlighting the clean lines of the modern oak furniture.

METAL SCULPTURE- Although all of Ethnicraft's solid oak furniture is in a contemporary style, oak is often regarded as one of the more traditional mediums. Combining industrial or ultramodern metal sculpture with an oak sideboard or coffee table will create the perfect juxtaposition. The contrasts of old, new, natural and artificial will be an eye-catching statement.

WOOLLEN RUGS- The angular, sleek designs of an oak coffee table are what make it such an essential contemporary home addition. If you have a wooden floor, there can sometimes be a risk of making the room feel to clinical and cold. A woollen rug is the perfect way to warm up the room, as well as to express your own personal style. You can use a rug to inject colour, or simply to soften the design of the room.
