September 30th, 2021, is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. 

It is a day to reflect and recognize the tragic history and ongoing impact of residential schools on Canada's Indigenous people and to make sure it is never forgotten.

Hockey Cares would like to acknowledge the Elders who share their experiences while continuing to educate our nation towards Truth and Reconciliation.

Please donate to Hockey Cares, a reconciliation project under True North Aid.

When it comes down to it, you should decorate your home in a way that makes you feel comfortable, calm and happy. However, if you’re looking for some inspiration, natural wood tones are popping up more and more as people work hard to create a home environment that helps block out modern day stresses.

As a trusted Oakville realtor for more than a decade, Sue Heddle Homes has seen many home design trends come and go.  While natural wood is certainly not new, the next few years may welcome back this neutral option with open arms and see it make a serious comeback in both traditional and modern Oakville area residences. 

Adding Natural Wood Tones to Your Space

Natural wood is classified as a classic design trend, which means it’s very versatile and can be brought into almost any space or paired with any taste. In addition, it’s also easy to mix and match natural wood furniture, although it’s best to stay with three or four wood finishes to avoid looking to muddled. 

Neutral Tones and Colour Palette

Whether you choose to add natural wood with flooring or with furniture, the final result will bring in soft neutral tones that bring any space together and make it feel connected to nature. 

Even those who typically opt for a minimalist décor will appreciate what even a small amount of natural wood can do when it comes to adding dimension without overpowering a streamlined space. For those looking to make small changes, natural wood is ideal for adding more depth to what you already have in your home by adding some subtle sophistication.

Creating Comfort

Another wonderful benefit of adding natural wood to a space is its ability to increase comfort. Natural wood shines when it comes to creating a warm and cozy atmosphere that feels personal but also stylish enough to impress your guests. 

It can offer a bit of a rustic feel if that’s the style you’re after, but it can also add warmth and brightness to minimalistic rooms looking for something to elevate the final look. It really does have the power to create a sophisticated, yet vintage feel all at the same time. No matter your taste, natural wood can do a lot for your home.
