To counteract my previous beach post of light woods, I wanted to show how you can do the total opposite to your home and still create a a raw, unique feel to a room or house! The term charred wood is also referred to "Shou-Sugi-Ban" which is Japanese. It literally translates to "burnt cedar board". It can be quite an expensive bit of work if you would like to cover your entire home or fill every room. Also, like anything that includes a lot of technique, I would definitely seek advice and help from a professional as burning wood may seem easy but you do not want to go too far!
I have included some of the main ways you can incorporate charred wood into your home. Such as, Cladding your a section of the exterior of your home. I think charring works really well when you have something to contrast it with. Such as the masonry in the top image. But also it has become popular just doing one floor of a home so you may have the bottom section rendered with the top cladded in charred wood to give a contrast to a particular section of a home. Bringing it into the house also works well interns of feature walls. I think what I like about it most compared to paint of wallpaper is that it give this beautiful, natural texture to a wall that you just wouldn't get from paint/paper. I wasn't able to find too much pieces of furniture, but I'm sure if you have a research and find somebody to make you a one of piece, it can create a really powerful focal point to a room.
I hope this inspired you to possible add wood into your home in a way you didn't imagine!
