I'm yelling TIMBER!!!!!
Featuring timber in bathrooms has become very popular. They create an earthy, rustic yet sophisticated, warm ambience to the bathroom.
We used to worry about using natural products like wood and stone in wet areas, but these days you don't have to.
It all comes down to correct seal. Sealing prevents moisture getting into the timber and can reduce warping, staining and expansion.
The key to ensuring longevity of timber products is the ventilation of the bathroom. You want to make sure moisture in the area can escape.
You can also get some amazing look-a-like timbers. Porcelain timber tiles are becoming increasingly popular and the only way to tell they are "real" is by close inspection.
So don't be afraid to highlight some timber in your bathroom. Make it a feature rather than a main element for pure class and something a bit different. It will stand out and you will love it!
