Creative Ways to Use Wood in Modern Las Vegas Homes

In Las Vegas, modern homes often feature clean lines, open spaces, and neutral tones. But there’s one design element that never goes out of style — wood. Whether it’s through custom cabinetry, accent walls, or ceiling beams, wood brings warmth and texture that perfectly balances the city’s sleek, contemporary architecture.

1. Accent Walls That Steal the Spotlight

One of the easiest ways to incorporate wood into your home is through a custom accent wall. From vertical slats to herringbone patterns, wood walls create a focal point that elevates any space — especially living rooms, bedrooms, and entryways.

Selhorst Woodworks specializes in custom accent walls that reflect your style, whether rustic, modern, or mid-century inspired.

2. Built-Ins That Maximize Space and Style

In a city where square footage is valuable, built-in shelving and cabinets are a smart way to combine function and beauty. These pieces create extra storage without crowding the room, and the craftsmanship of natural wood ensures durability and character.

3. Ceiling Details That Add Drama

Accent ceilings — also called the “fifth wall” — are a growing trend in modern interiors. Adding wood beams, slats, or paneling can completely change how a space feels, drawing the eye upward and giving rooms a polished, architectural look.
