This Furniture Range Features the Biggest Wood Trend of the Year — It's Rare Because You Can Usually Only Buy It Bespoke

One trend I haven't been able to get off my mind or my mood board this year is interesting wood grains. Colorful, burl, or zebra-inspired — there is something so cool about the design detail. The downside is that this look is typically a custom job (devastating, I know), so it feels like exciting news to share that Westwing's Ako range means you can shop one of the coolest wood trends off the shelf.

I've been obsessed with this zebra-esque wood grain pattern for a while now, ever since it was sneakily categorized as part of the zebra print trend last year. It looks almost marbled; fun and playful, but with an elevated and expensive aesthetic. In Westwing's Ako collection of sideboards, dressers, and nightstands, the brand pairs patterned wood veneer with coated stainless steel frames. The result is furniture that hits one of the hottest interior design trends, but with a simple enough form not to overwhelm a space despite its highly unique characteristics.
