Wood is timeless. Invest in high-quality design collector’s pieces and treasure them for a lifetime. “Whether ancient or modern, wood gives any room warmth. Look for wood and bamboo in natural colours, rather than black, and choose the real thing, rather than laminated,” says stylist Klara van Wyngaarden.
