Working with wood comes naturally to New York interior designer Dan Faires. He grew up in an old farmhouse and has been developing his carpentry skills for much of his life.
So in any house or apartment he occupies, he finds creative ways to decorate with this natural material. To rehab an apartment in Arkansas recently, he covered the dark pine floor with coats of glossy white paint, instantly brightening the room and making it seem larger.
But many homeowners have no experience working with wood, so they don't realize, Faires says, how easy it is to make a home more beautiful by improving the existing wood or creatively adding new wood to walls, floors and even ceilings.
Designer Brian Patrick Flynn, creator of the Flynnside Out Productions design blog, agrees: "While different materials come and go with trends, wood is here to stay. Whether it's for a home's exterior, bedroom walls or for adding shade to your yard or deck, wood is an investment that will never go out of style."
Here, Faires, Flynn and Betsy Burnham of the Los Angeles-based Burnham Design share their favourite ways to decorate with wood.
FEATURE WALLS
"Creating interior feature walls with soft woods is an amazing way to add a focal point to a room otherwise considered a 'basic drywall box,'" Flynn says.
You can add decorative wood to a wall from floor to ceiling, Burnham says, or just part of the way up. Options include tongue-and-groove panels, bead board or traditional board and batten.

Barbara Van Voast of Fort Lauderdale is an interior designer and a pet owner. Until last year, those two passions didn't coincide.
That was until a lot of her clients began asking her questions about how to keep their four-legged friends from ruining their expensive dcor. Their queries prompted Van Voast to start researching the topic, finding out about stain- and odor-resistant fabrics and furnishings.
""They don't teach you these things when you go to design school," she said.
Given the high demand from her customers, Van Voast decided to devote a division of her business to making homes pet friendly. This area now makes up about 90 percent of her business, she said.
"This was something a lot of my clients were really concerned about, so I decided to address it," she said.
One client asked Van Voast to redesign her living room with her pet Beagle in mind. She chose a number of pet-friendly features, such as a high-tech sofa with fabric made to resist stains, moisture and odor.
But dogs and cats aren't her only clientele. Van Voast has designed homes for clients with pets ranging from llamas to goats to chinchillas.
"A lot of what I do is preventing and covering up stain and odor," Van Voast said. "A lot of things don't change that much from dog to cat to any pet that has fur."
Van Voast also tries to be cognizant of household items that could prove dangerous to pets, such as electrical cords, cords of blinds and pullout sofas.
"There's a lot of things people hadn't considered that could really hurt their pets," she said.

3 home renovation tips from Baltimore interior designer - Video
Atlantas David DAmbrosio wears two design hats. He is an interior designer, known for his classic, livable spaces. The 31-year-old is also the owner of Redefined Home Boutique in the trendy West Midtown Design District.
Background: Growing up, I split the year between South Florida and upstate New York. In college, I studied interior design and interior architecture. When I returned to Miami after studying abroad, I worked for a commercial design firm for three years. To take my career as a designer to the next level, I realized I had to do something big. In 2010, I moved to Atlanta and opened the store.
Store owner vs. designer: In the beginning, it was hard to juggle a store and an emerging design career. Now, it is second nature. I love working with clients. But having a store that I can constantly change as new products come in sparks my creativity.
The store offers: Bella Notte Linens, Lillian August & Hickory White casegoods and upholstery, Noir, plus objects found on my travels. Atlanta companies include: Phillips Scott furniture, Avindy Jewelry, Currey and Company lighting and Kevin Peskin Art.
My design style: Transitional with a mix of classic and modern. I like light neutral linens, clean-lined furniture, found objects, dramatic lighting and hits of color and geometric pattern.
Where youve seen my work: Elle Dcor, Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles, Southern Living, Traditional Home and House Beautiful
Favorite accessories: Utilizing objects that were created for one purpose and using them for another. For example, refinishing iron bowls, used by industrial and construction workers in India, to hang on the wall. Or using old olive and potato bins as pendants in laundry rooms. Other favorites: books with beautiful bindings and organic forms, such as natural driftwood.
Favorite design trick: Layering new objects with old objects and family heirlooms.
Design pet peeve: Misuse of scale and proportion. An undersized chandelier or oversized area rug can make the overall aesthetic of a room feel off.
Biggest design mistake Ive made: Sealing the slate floors in my condo in Miami. They turned charcoal-black and were impossible to keep clean.
