Completing a difficult puzzle brings with it a considerable sense of accomplishment. Toiling away at the same task, sometimes for hours on end, before finally finding the solution results in some seriously earned satisfaction. One of the problems with jigsaw puzzles and other similar types is what happens after you finish. You put in all that work to get to the end, now what? Take it all down, break it up and put it back in the box forever? Spend an inordinate amount of money on a frame to hang it on the wall? For many puzzles there aren’t really any great options, but when it comes to 3D puzzles, solving it for the first time is just the beginning! Finishing a 3D wooden puzzle or brainteaser for the first time brings the same level of achievement and satisfaction as a jigsaw puzzle, while also affording you the opportunity to show it off. Wooden puzzles can seamlessly be displayed as decorative pieces throughout your home. Not only can they improve the overall look of your home or space, but it simultaneously puts your accomplishment of the completed puzzle on full display for all your guests. Not to mention the cognitive benefits and mental exercise that comes with puzzling in the first place.
Environmental Considerations
Displaying 3D wooden puzzles can help to add character throughout your home by introducing a touch of natural materials with intricate designs. Reusing these puzzles as wooden home decorations can help to enhance your home’s ambiance and elevate the space in an eco-friendly way. These puzzles have little to no negative impact on the environment thanks to their sustainable production and materials. Enrich your home’s décor by adding finished wooden puzzles to bookshelves and end-tables, or even use them as a centerpiece on tables throughout the house. Due to their materials, they work terrific as rustic home decorations that add texture and wood tones to any room. Just make sure that if you are placing your wood puzzle somewhere for an extended period of time, to avoid direct sunlight. Intense prolonged periods of direct sun exposure can lead the wood fading. If you need exciting and functional wooden home decorations for the living room or family room, these handmade wooden pieces are a great choice.
Home Design Themes
Although wooden pieces tend to bring a more natural element wherever displayed, we have a variety of puzzles that can fit into any different style of home décor thanks to their wide range of patterns and shapes. For example, if your home has a rustic aesthetic, nearly all of our wooden puzzles will work well, but burr puzzles like the Lumberjack’s Challenge or Double Lock-a-Ball might fit the theme the best. If your home has a more modern look, something like our Global Puzzle might work well best thanks to its sleek silhouette and elegant curves. If your home’s design theme permits, try pairing a wooden puzzle near other natural elements like plants, woven baskets, or other wooden furniture.
Guests Love it!
An added benefit of using wooden puzzles as home décor is how easily they can be swapped for each other to keep your home’s look fresh and interesting. Seasonally changing which puzzle you have on display can offer a breath of fresh air to your home’s aesthetic, while also keeping it interesting for any visiting guests. If a guest sees Shooting Star on your coffee table one time they visit, and Bateau Boat the next, there’s a good chance they take notice. We often hear from our customers about the high replay value of these puzzles, especially with guests. They mention receiving comments and compliments consistently from their visitors on all their puzzles that are doubling as wooden home decorations. Oftentimes, guests want to try their hand at completing the puzzle for themselves – creating a fun and inviting atmosphere for everyone. Instances like this can also breed some healthy competition, as you can discuss which guests in the past have been able to complete which puzzles, and how quickly they finished.
Each puzzle makes for a distinct and unique talking piece. Adding more puzzles to your collection not only gives you more puzzles to play with and attempt, more ways to expand your spatial reasoning skills, but also even more decoration options. Buying a new puzzle gives the chance to test your brain’s three-dimensional thinking and logical reasoning, while simultaneously giving you more ways to make meaningful and creative additions to your home’s decorations.
