Embrace the trend: Have you added wooden bars to yourhome yet?

In recent months, wooden bars have started popping up everywhere - in carpentry items, wall coverings, tiles and furniture, and they stand out as one of the hottest trends of 2022 in design. Much has been written about the integration of wood as a material in home design. And judging by the mood and the design exhibitions held around the world, the natural trend in home design is only getting stronger. There are not many materials that have a long history like wood, and even today, when we have a variety of modern and sophisticated materials at our disposal, it is hard to imagine a house without it. All the more so when he reinvents himself every time - this time in the form of wooden bars. And nothing fortifies the status of a trend more than its adoption by the big mainstream companies - marketing kitchens, tiles, etc. "Wood is one of the refined raw materials that know how to integrate and adapt to diverse design styles," say the design experts of the Regava company, which launched a kitchen collection a week ago based on the motif of the wooden bars.

The wooden bars are identified with the new modern architecture, and emphasize the beauty of the wood through the use of wooden strips. The beauty is that you can use the wooden bars in different thicknesses, different symmetry and different colors. Each of these variations will give the wooden bars a different aroma and character, a different 'look and feel'. In this way, they make it possible to create a special and interesting look, which moves away from the monotony of wood as a material. The wooden bars come in a wide variety of woods such as: Ipa, Cedar, Teak, Oak and more. And recently they come in a version designed with a tree-like appearance that allows simple installation on a straight infrastructure, using silicone only. This is also why they have become so loved by designers and architects - their application is simple and the uses are varied. They are a fashionable, cheap and environmentally friendly upgrade solution. Whether they are used to create a wall, a partition, a detail in the kitchen, living room furniture or a decorative element in the bathroom. The wooden bars easily attract attention and make the corner pop.

If you are not yet convinced, here are 6 reasons why you should try to implement this trend in your home as well:

the depth and cleanliness of the wooden bars give a clean and impressive three-dimensional look. Architectural power, which, like upside down, is actually experienced as "quietness in the eyes". The stencil that repeats itself whether on the walls of the house or in the furniture gives the overall design a sense of visual cleanliness.

An easy upgrade to implement

The wooden bars have become an accessible and cheap way to upgrade the house. Contemporary, cheap and friendly, especially when they come in a wood-like appearance as wide plates and varying sizes to choose from. The wooden slats have become a popular decorative element instead of repainting the walls (which involves manual work and waiting for drying), the vertical wooden slats create an elegant play of light and shadow, creating a layered and enhanced look without effort or mess in the home.

Suitable for all styles

The beauty of the wooden bars is not only limited to their design aesthetics but also to their ability to adapt to a variety of design styles. Light-colored wood bars are suitable for the Scandinavian style, while dark-colored wood is more suitable for the mid-century style. The application of wooden bars with a thicker appearance is suitable for the rustic style, while the application of thin wooden bars is more suitable for the modern style.

Environmentally friendly

The wooden bars that come in a wood-like version are a great alternative to the traditional wooden boards. Recently and in light of the growing awareness of the quality of the environment, more and more decorative elements are offered that carry green standards for green construction.

Durability and maintenance

The wooden slatted panels with a wood-like appearance are made of synthetic materials that give them mold-resistant properties. This is why you see them a lot in designed bathrooms. These surfaces are also easy to clean and maintain, and can last for many years, without the need for replacement.

Insulation

Whether the wooden slats are made of real wood or with a wood-like appearance, when they are applied to the wall, the space covered with the wooden slats benefits from better insulation so that the cold does not really penetrate inside and the heat in the summer does not affect the house as much.
