Cosy kitchen - wood veneer - natural oak

When you think of a chalet, what comes to mind? A cosy, inviting space filled with warmth, natural beauty and a sense of comfort. It is a retreat that feels like home, regardless of the season. 

This beautiful home captures that timeless chalet charm with a modern twist, using Querkus Vivace oak veneer panels to create a space that is as stylish as it is welcoming. 

Made possible by DesignOneSource and Hardwoods, this Canadian project is a celebration of craftsmanship, where every element—especially the wood—comes together to form a harmonious, warm environment. 

From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by a sense of space and light. The open-plan living area, with its soaring ceilings and large windows, brings the outdoors in, filling the room with natural light. Soft sheepskin rugs add comfort, while the stone fireplace contributes a touch of earthy charm. 

The true heart of this Canadian home is the Querkus Vivace oak veneer wall panels by Decospan. Its light, golden tones bring nature indoors, creating an atmosphere that perfectly captures the chalet vibe we all love—bright, cosy, and inviting.

“A stunning home full of panoramic views of our picturesque mountain landscape, we are thrilled about the outcome of this project. With rustic oak and raw steel, the warmth of this space is surprising and unique.”

What makes this home truly special are the natural imperfections in the wood. Unique knots and grains in each panel infuse the space with character and authenticity. The Querkus Vivace oak veneer wall panels is an ideal choice for those wishing to introduce nature’s beauty into their design while retaining a modern aesthetic. 

Used throughout the house – on floors, furniture, and other surfaces – the veneered wood panels create a seamless flow from room to room. In the living area, the oak reflects the natural light, enhancing the room’s openness and airy feel. Its warmth contrasts beautifully with stone elements, achieving a sophisticated balance. 

Even in the bathroom, a bold black backdrop behind the mirror makes a striking statement, yet the oak veneer wall panels soften the overall design, maintaining a warm and welcoming ambience. The wood’s texture and grain lend a timeless, relaxed quality to the space, making it ideal for unwinding.

A chalet is all about warmth, comfort, and connection to nature. This home achieves that by blending familiar chalet vibes with sleek, modern design elements. The rift cut oak veneer pays homage to the natural world, grounding the space in authenticity and charm. 

Not only does the wood add warmth, but natural materials such as stone and marble also create a strong link to the earth, offering rich textures that contrast with the light oak. Modern black accents – found in door frames and barstools – add a contemporary edge, elevating the space into something fresh and new.
