The talented Meet Me at Our Spot singer often posts Instagram videos from the cool music room in her Los Angeles home. It's filled to the brim with musical instruments on cleverly arranged shelves. A green, red, and cream rug centers the space. All of the furniture, shelves, and beams on the walls are natural wood in a pretty, reddish finish. It's one of the biggest interior design trends of 2024.

Interior designers swear by this natural, rustic accent material. Decorating with wood, like these wood-paneled walls, can help us feel grounded and connected to nature. Interior designer Nina Lichtenstein states: 'Wood inherently carries warmth due to its natural tones and textures. When used in walls, it introduces an organic and comforting element to the space, enhancing the overall comfort of the room.'

She continues, 'Wooden furniture and walls provide a pleasing contrast to neutral color schemes, preventing the space from feeling too monochromatic. This contrast adds depth and interest, contributing to a visually dynamic and balanced atmosphere.' These benefits also come through in Smith's wood ceiling.
