MOMENT

After years of painted, cerused and high gloss woods, natural wood furniture has well and truly made its way back onto the design world's mood board. In fact, if Instagram is anything to go by, natural timber cabinetry is set to take the top spot in 2023 trends in case there’s any question mark over what’s meant by natural wood finishes it means not painted, not stained and not engineered timber like MDF; grown from the ground, grain-rich and gorgeous like the television unit in this stunning contemporary Melissa Lunardon living room

While raw timber is a look that’s very much at home in industrial-style interiors when mixed with rugged metal fixtures, and pale wood furniture is a favourite in the Scandi furniture movement, the current moment is more about contrasts with refined architectural bones and a hybrid of finishes in the room.
