Embracing Nature: A Look at NYC Buildings Boasting Custom Woodwork
The trend of wood in interior design is no longer confined to floors or rustic log cabins; now, New York City buildings are embracing it to clad their walls and ceilings, introducing warmth and welcoming into common spaces. From lobbies to lounges, the quality of the material adds an elevated, cozy experience that celebrates nature and craftsmanship. Several NYC buildings exemplify this trend.
