With the trend of today's styles, it appears that many people are opting for the more natural look of wood in their homes. They are choosing wooden flooring, furniture and even wooden door and window frames. It seems that the warm cozy feel of wood is making its return. However, there are many things to consider when putting wood into your home, and one will need to know how to attain the perfect look. If you are wanting an all natural oil finish then you need to be aware that this will take some work.

When putting down wooden flooring into your home you have so many options to choose from. Wood used for flooring is made of solid beams which have been milled for this specific purpose. For the final touch to a wooden floor one would have to choose if you want a matt or a varnished look. One will also need to use a high quality wood floor cleaner in order to maintain the floors.

Wooden furniture is now very stylish and it comes in array of different styles. Usually wood for furniture is very durable and strong. One would want to buy wooden furniture that will not date. It will need to be hardy and remain looking good for years to come. You may want to consult with an interior decorator for advice when selecting these items.

When one looks at the construction of a new home it is amazing to see just how much wood is used. Most modern day roofs are fitted with wooden rafters. When looking at a thatched roofed house, one will notice that the timber is visible to the naked eye and therefore is usually treated.

When installing wooden door and window frames, one will also need to select a strong wood. A handy man will be able to assist you in making the best choice. Usually these frames are not perfectly finished off and a general oil coat will do just fine. If left untreated however, they may warp and bend and therefore cause problems with closing.

Wooden furniture is always a great asset. It is usually a little more expensive to buy but it lasts twice as long as any other furniture you can get. Wood just never seems to age, it always seems to look great. One can choose from a high gloss or matt look for this type of furniture.

When renovators are doing a job on hard wood, they need to decide on the look they want the end product to have. If they are looking for a high gloss result they will have to spend a little more time doing that. Many times they choose to do a natural oil finish which takes a little longer to achieve as the oil penetrates the oil grains.

In order to get a high gloss look to a piece of wood, one needs to spend a bit of time on the procedure. To get a glass-like result on wood you need to sand it many times in order for all the grains to be filled. There is no doubt about it, an all natural oil finish looks great but takes a lot of work to achieve.
