If you’ve ever set foot in a home improvement store, you’ve probably noticed a lot of one material: wood. And you’ve probably noticed it in your own home, too — or perhaps even installed it yourself.

 

Wood has many practical applications in a house, from flooring to cabinetry to furniture. So if you plan to embark on a renovation or design project that has to do with wood, it might be helpful to familiarize yourself with the vast variety of species out there so you know exactly what to look for (and what to skip). There are dozens of types of wood that are commonly used in the home, and they all have unique qualities that make them suited for specific applications.
