Wooden elements play a pivotal role in modern neutral home interiors, seamlessly merging contemporary aesthetics with the timeless charm of nature. Here, we’ll take a journey through two stylish contemporary homes that have been adorned with the natural allure of wood. On our first home tour, an open-plan living space unfolds against a serene backdrop of neutral tones. Thoughtfully crafted wooden accents negotiate the peaceful aesthetic, bringing visual warmth and depth. In the second tour, wooden elements take center stage in a luxurious open-plan living space that exudes elegance and sophistication. From furniture to decor, the skillful incorporation of wood infuses a warm and organic ambiance.
A crisp white sofa makes a light center point in our first modern home design. The light upholstery brings a breath of fresh, contemporary air to the cream and wood-tone backdrop. 
A wood coffee table adds just a hint of color down in front of the sofa, and houses an array of interesting ornaments. The pale gray living room rug softens the floor underfoot and offers a cool counterbalance to the chevron wood floor treatment. 
There is a swathe of wood paneling and cabinet doors in the living room that add a dominating force of warmth, tone, and texture. 
Behind the couch, a small dining area is accessorized with a dainty black and pearl-white glass pendant light. 
A cantilevered media unit makes a wooden accent in front of a textured glass wall. Both the glass and the wood are finely reeded to establish a common theme. 
A glass teapot and matching glass tea cups make a pretty dining table addition. 
The compact dining area is furnished with just two black dining chairs. However, the rear of the sofa doubles as a dining room banquette. 
The living room stands open to the home entryway, which gives the modest apartment a more spacious appearance. A large, full-length mirror increases the perception of space in the open-plan entryway. Wooden storage units line the opposite side. 
A round pouf makes a convenient dressing area by the door for putting on shoes. The frameless front door is color-coordinated with the neutral walls to lessen its imposition. 
The home office is a narrow space but a large window makes it feel welcoming and open. A bespoke computer desk is installed directly across the window where the workspace will benefit from the most natural light. A white ergonomic desk chair provides comfort and style. 
A unique table lamp drops a pop of orange into the neutral home office decor scheme, adding a touch of fun. 
Wooden storage units stow away office paraphernalia and fill the room with a comforting visual warmth. A narrow bookcase and a soft lounge chair come together to create a cosy reading nook. 
The bathroom has a magical warmth, thanks to thoughtful mood lighting and a deep orange decor scheme. 
Perimeter LEDs bring dark orange tiles to life inside the walk-in shower area. 
The orange tiles are balanced by beige counterparts to create added dimension and depth. 
Inside the beige bedroom, a row of fitted walnut wardrobes features a neat built-in nightstand. A matching walnut bedside unit wings the other side.
