After my forest article (link >>>), with his mention also on instagram @decoriastudio_interiordesign, I come back to you with the next dose of sensitive to beauty. Who of you have, who of you dream about cozy living room, tasteful kitchen, comfortable bathroom? The coziness, taste and comfort are largely give the nature, that is natural wood. Wood in interior design has different application, including wooden floor, wooden beams on the ceiling, wooden door, wooden table, wooden table top, ect. We love wood, we feel good in it surroundings, we invite it to our interior. Currently however, following statements of many designers and contractors, we try not use the wood in places exposed to high humidity and flooding. And as we know, places such as: kitchen floor, bathroom floor, case of toilet in the bathroom, kitchen tabletop, kitchen cupboards, kitchen strips, kitchen table, dining table, etc. are mainly exposed to flooding. Writing this article in accordance with my style and approach to design, I would like to greatly encourage you break these standards and rules. For me, wood is a wonderful element of nature, which over the years becomes more and more beautiful and valuable. Don’t be afraid of scratches on it, cracks, that show during it’s using and aging. It is a beauty in itself, that gives an atmosphere to the interior. I would like to encourage you to such interior design, design in harmony with nature.

I am currently reading a valuable book, among other for Artists, Designers, which describes a style based on the acceptance of aging and passing of everything around. This applies so much to natural materials such as wood. This style is called Wabi-Sabi, and the book is called “Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets, Philosophers” by Leonard Koren. In this article, I would like to emphasize, that wood, which ages and deteriorates is perfectly fine. We really do not have to be afraid of this passing away, and we do not have to be afraid to prevent it. Let him live his life. I will share the exact knowledge about Wabi-Sabi style in the next article, and now I invite you to view photos taken by me and my inspirations from the internet, which show where and how natural wood is used in the interior.

Take a look, how using of wood ages and deteriorates by different weather conditions. Looking for inspirations, I came across my favourite colors of nature: white, cream, blue, and precisely with wood “scratched by time”. For me, it is a sublime beauty in itself, the passing, that creates such beautiful patterns.

Therefore, I am a huge follower of designing a wooden floor in the bathroom, a wooden floor in the living room, and a wooden case of toilet. In general, you are probably afraid, that these places (especially in the bathroom) will be often flooded with water. In fact, how often are they exposed to water? In my opinion, we wipe the bathroom floor or the wall next to the geberit with a wet cloth as often as or as rarely as the floor in the living room. In addition, we now have available wide selection of good quality cleaning products, and we shouldn’t be too concerned about that. So let’s enjoy the beauty of nature also in these places :).

We know, that wood creates a unique atmosphere in the interior. If we have wood in our house or apartment, we know, that it immediately adds coziness to our space. Wooden beams are so desirable and we want to make these structures visible. But why? Because they are natural, very often unequal, cracked, scratched.. Surrounded by other wooden elements, such as a wooden table, wooden floor, wooden chairs, wooden doors, etc., they complete the entire space, creating the so-called “the cherry on the cake”. In my opinion, everything is designed together with taste and the view gives a pleasant relaxation. Do you feel it like that?

I will stop at the wooden door for a moment. I know, that there is an increasing selection of them on the market, from plywood, plastic, metal, steel, to wooden ones (those in the new edition). Sometimes however, and even more often than not, it is worth finding, restoring, slightly renewing these old wooden doors and reusing them in the interior design, and next in your home or apartment. I guarantee you, that they will work well not only in rustic, vintage or post-industrial interiors, but also in more minimalist, modern ones, where they will constitute a rustic, distinctive addition. I can assure you, that both you and your guests will not pass by without noticing them. Below, I present my inspirations as just a “seed” for the use of this type of door.

Mentioning of the door, I would like to share with you for a moment my nice meeting with the interior at the restaurant Ucieranie Treści, which is located in the post-industrial Pruszków near Warsaw. I was there to arrange the tables as a decorator. I came across this door and the next, and was staring at the whole post-industrial interior. Take a look at how you can in an interesting way adapt the old, crumbling door (here without even a handle) and other ones, that are already in better condition and that also beautifully fit into this style and atmosphere. I know that it is not a living room, kitchen or bathroom, but with this example I wanted to show you that you can adapt (probably even for many people to throw away) such a door. In my opinion, they age beautifully .. and deserve to be appreciated :).

When I write about wood, my inspirations cannot be without a wooden table, a wooden table with chairs or a wooden coffee table. I mean, such tables made of solid wood, which are not made of perfectly grinded wood, but the one with knots, cavities, irregularities, cracks, scratches, and dents. Such tables fit perfectly into my preferred styles: hygge style or wabi-sabi style, but it does not mean, that they will not fit in different style. On the contrary! Natural wood will be found everywhere and will always be a unique, distinctive addition.

I would like to also discuss wood in the kitchen, and more precisely, a kitchen wooden tabletop, kitchen wooden cupboards or wooden strips. I know that many of you are wondering whether to choose a wooden tabletop or not. Eventually, most of us will choose a material other than wood, it is more durable, non-scratching, non-discolouring, non-deforming, which is therefore not problematic. However, I do not want to criticize concrete, quartz, conglomerate or stone tabletops, because they are also beautiful materials (then you can design kitchen wooden cupboards in an interesting way). Coming back to wooden tabletops, in my opinion, do not be afraid to use them, because each scratch, dent or discoloration is the result of aging, which adds charm, not ugliness. In addition, we now have many good quality preparations for impregnation and protection of wood on the market. They will take care of the wood, that will serve us for many years to come.

I will show you the wooden strips in my kitchen. These are natural oak strips, that are the finishing for the kitchen tabletop. A piece of them is even next to the sink, from which water really often pours, sometimes splashing to sides. It has been several years since these strips were laid. I will write honestly, that although they darkened a little, they still work and look good. I love their imperfection and beauty, and they are naturally oak :).

So I encourage you to break certain standards. Use an interior designer, who will make your interior, living room, kitchen or bathroom a pleasant and cozy space, that they will have a taste and atmosphere. Because THIS is, what will make, we rest, we have power and energy for each next day :).

So I invite you to my place :). I will take care of your space, designing it in a cozy way :). You can find my offer here at the link >>>.

The forest is an amazing miracle of nature. Plants, which create it, creating the most wonderful space and this space gives life. While in nature, we can breathe fresh air and admire beautiful, diverse greenery. So the forest is good for body and soul.

Walk in the forest is extraordinary wealth of sensations, stimulation of all human senses. Looking at everything around us, we connect with nature and this gives the best rest, respite, delight. Do you feel it like that? The forest is our green lungs, it is a place of rest, the richness of nature – fauna and flora. It is a magical place, full of amazing creatures and structures (insects, birds and animals), as well as colors and smells (trees, shrubs, flowers, needles, mosses).

I am a huge friend of the forest. I think, I can call myself :). I would like to touch, smell and taste all the time. I have always felt a great attachment to nature and the desire to be among it often. For a long time this connection was completely unconscious to me, but over time I began to see that my life path was still leading towards it. My artistic work with plants, creation handicrafts, water sports passions, after a little, everything began to create and put together into a single whole. But I will write more about me in detal soon in one of the next articles :).

In this publication, I would like to encourage you to discover the simple beauty, that nature gives us. When in the forest and while walking, have you even thought about details? Walking along the main paths, we admire what is happening around us, above us, below us, next to us. Of course, we breathe fresh air, our eyes rest. In this post, however, I would like to delve into the details a bit, details of the forest. And they hide a lot :). I am sharing with you a few photos from my forest walks.

Look at the bark, known the birch bark to everyone. Have you even looked at the patterns, that this bark paints? How does it crack? How does white combine with black, brown accents?

Look at the pine bark and birch bark, and what patterns are under it.. In one photo below I show a fragment of the birch without bark. Perhaps the lack of it is the result of some animal interference. But it is also nature, forest inhabitants are part of it.

Also look at leaves, bark, moss, needles, soil, arrangement of branches, crowns. I see so many beautiful patterns, colors, structures… Next I see creative inspirations, that show up at every step. As an artist, I may see it more, but I think it is good that I am :). With great pleasure I will make you aware, show you and invite you to lose yourself in nature like I do. Below I present a few of me next macro shots, what intrigued me and what I consider worth noting. I took photos in a Polish forest, but inspirations are all over the world in every other place. Everyone has them close to him :).

The forest hides many other details, that should be noticed, appreciated and inspired by them. This beauty is certainly appreciated by painters, who transfer it paintings onto paper. I have always painted landscapes myself (I will show them in a while). However, I hope, that this nature is also appreciated by designers, who not only use furniture and other wooden products for their interior designs, but also draw inspirations from patterns, colors and structures, just like me :).

It is me in person, wandering in the woods with my camera :)… and with my dog. This blonde spaniel is my best travel and hiking companion, among others like this one.

I know, that there are many highly sensitive and artistic people like me, who see the beauty that surrounds us more. There are also people, including in singers, who sing about it. There is a song, that reflects this beautifully. Therefore, I encourage you to listen to it, watch it and rest. This ballad inspired me a lot.

By designing and creating these tiles, I would like to guide you towards greater sensitivity to beauty, that lies in its imperfection. The preservation of this deliberate ‘defectiveness’ is each time a different reflection of nature’s patterns on the clay, which is the building material of the tiles. As a result, a convex layout is created, and thanks to the glazes of a color pattern different for each of them. But what is the purpose of this?

And that your interiors can be enriched with something more, other than repetitive and standard projects. The tiles are made so that, they can be used in the living room or hall, but also (those with increased resistance to humidity) in the kitchen or bathroom. Using them is just this additional enrichment of the interior with something new, different, perhaps more beautiful, intentionally inspired by nature. Of course, as you know, not only tiles in the kitchen, bathroom, living room, hall or any other room create space. Their use is to be an additional decorative and aesthetic value, while other main elements of the equipment make up the interior.

Therefore, for the overall design, I take into account the entire layout, both functional and aesthetic. I choose materials and products, so that everything creates a coherent arrangement. In that case, if I am to use our products, such as ceramic tiles, I adapt their colors and pattern to other elements, so that they complement, but are not a decoration, that does not match the whole thing.

So what do you think about it? Do you like these patterns and colors? What do you think about first tile? Do you feel more sensitive to nature thanks to these decorations? Do you notice something beautiful about it? Everyone, of course, can see it in their own way. And everyone is right. I am aware of this and I am not denying it. I know that each of us has our own preferences. An encouragement to use them is a proposal that doesn’t have to be used. So my every project doesn’t have to be based on these products. If you like them great, if not okay. It’s up to you what is beautiful for you and what you will feel good and comfortable in. However, as a designer, I can suggest these products to you, or design the interior in a different way without using them. However, I always try to create your space, the one you want the most.

Available ceramic tiles can be viewed in our store at: https://decoriastudio.com/en/shop/. I encourage you to take a look : ) .
