Plywood is hot right now. It's affordable, versatile and has a wonderful natural warmth.
That's right. Our old friend plywood is no longer relegated to the temporary hoarding around building sites or the makeshift desks of impoverished students *looks down at plywood desk disappointedly*. No, plywood has gone internal.
But before you rush off to Masters and buy an actual truckload of plywood, I'm here to tell you not all ply is created equally! There are numerous grades of plywood that will ultimately affect how well the ply lasts and how great your home looks. So make sure you're going with a furniture grade plywood unless you're going for the sharehouse-chic look.
Whether you're using ply internally, externally, on the floors, walls, ceiling, kitchen, joinery or all of the above, we've featured plenty of plywood projects to inspire and delight.
