Doors and Windows
Of course, the first thing that comes to our mind when you think of a wooden element is wooden doors and windows.

Furniture
Furniture remains one of the ideal ways to include wood inside your home.

While bed, chairs and tables seem to be the obvious choices, you should try uniquely designed coffee tables, day beds or a well-crafted bench to add a twist to your design. A wooden entertainment unit with neat cabinets, closed or open or both, along with a quirky coffee table to match will also help add elegance to all types of design themes.

Jhalis and Swings
A fun and artistic way to add a wooden element in the interior is with jhalis and swings.
Jhalis or lattice screens can be used in different ways inside your metropolitan city home. Why not make it a room divider that provides a partition but does not look imposing?
