18 Reasons to Fall for Faux Bois
With the growing popularity of natural and organic elements in home design, one classic type of decor has gotten the chance to have a renaissance—Faux Bois.
Faux Bois, meaning “false wood” in French, is the interpretation of wood and wood grain in materials as diverse as concrete and linen. It’s been around at least since 1875, when Joseph Monier first designed a bridge imagined after timbers and logs.
Perfect for the fall season, these wooden details add warmth and a woodsy touch to everything from wallpapers to pillows to planters. We’ve rounded up our favorite false wood pieces, any of which is sure to bring autumnal flare to your home, with no tree-chopping required.
