People have long celebrated wood for its warmth, texture, and natural beauty. In Looks Salon, wood plays a central role, adding depth and a sense of nostalgia to the space. The patina of wood, with its imperfections and unique grain patterns, tells a story and brings authenticity and heritage to the interior. This natural material serves as a bridge between the past and the present, grounding the modern design elements with its rich history and character.
The salon’s design successfully merges rustic wooden textures with clean, polished modern elements. This fusion creates a harmonious balance that is both striking and welcoming.
The juxtaposition of rough, rustic wood against sleek, contemporary materials results in a space that feels both nostalgic and innovative.
Natural light plays a crucial role in the salon’s ambiance. Large, unobstructed windows allow sunlight to flood the styling stations, enhancing the warmth and inviting feel of the space.
High exposed ceilings with wooden rafters, combined with minimalist modern furniture, contribute to a sense of grandeur and openness, making the salon feel airy and expansive.
One of the features of Looks Salon is its innovative approach to services design. Instead of hiding services within a false ceiling, the salon opts for visible services running through dark grey painted ceiling visible through wooden rafters.
This design choice maintains the integrity of the exposed wooden rafters and adds an industrial touch to the overall aesthetic.
The visible services not only enhance the rustic-modern fusion but also serve as a functional design element that complements the salon’s style.
The salon employs a neutral color palette to serve as a backdrop, highlighting the wooden elements. This choice of colors creates a calm and soothing environment, allowing the natural beauty of wood to take center stage.
Modern fixtures and fittings are thoughtfully selected to provide both functionality and style. Metal accents, glass elements, and bold fabrics are incorporated to enhance the overall aesthetic, making the space feel cozy and sophisticated.
The design of Looks Salon emphasizes textural contrast and harmony. The rough, rustic texture of grey texture paint stands out against the clean, polished look of modern elements, creating a dynamic and visually appealing environment.
Industrial touches, such as metal accents and visible services, add a contemporary edge that perfectly complements the traditional wooden features.
