木材是傳統的建(jian)筑材料，在古建(jian)筑和現代建(jian)筑中都得到(dao)了廣泛(fan)應(ying)用(yong)。

在結(jie)構上(shang)，木材(cai)主(zhu)要用(yong)于(yu)構架(jia)和(he)屋(wu)頂，如梁、柱、櫞、望板(ban)、斗(dou)拱(gong)等(deng)。我國許多建(jian)筑(zhu)物均為木結(jie)構，它們在建(jian)筑(zhu)技術(shu)和(he)藝(yi)術(shu)上(shang)均有(you)很高(gao)的(de)水(shui)平，并具獨特的(de)風格。另外，木材(cai)在建(jian)筑(zhu)工程中(zhong)還常用(yong)作(zuo)混凝土模(mo)板(ban)及(ji)木樁(zhuang)等(deng)。 

另一方面木(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)材(cai)在(zai)裝飾(shi)(shi)工(gong)程中的(de)應用(yong)，木(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)材(cai)歷來(lai)被廣泛用(yong)于建筑室內裝修與裝飾(shi)(shi)，條(tiao)(tiao)(tiao)木(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)地板(ban)(ban)(ban)是室內使用(yong)普遍的(de)木(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)質地面，它是由龍(long)骨、地板(ban)(ban)(ban)等(deng)部(bu)分構(gou)成；拼花(hua)(hua)小木(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)條(tiao)(tiao)(tiao)的(de)尺寸一般為長250~300mm，寬40~60mm，板(ban)(ban)(ban)厚(hou)20~25mm，木(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)條(tiao)(tiao)(tiao)一般均帶有(you)企口(kou)；護壁板(ban)(ban)(ban)又(you)稱木(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)臺(tai)度，在(zai)鋪設(she)拼花(hua)(hua)地板(ban)(ban)(ban)的(de)房間內，往往采用(yong)木(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)臺(tai)度，以(yi)使室內空(kong)間的(de)材(cai)料格(ge)調一致，給人一種和(he)諧整體景觀的(de)感受。護壁板(ban)(ban)(ban)可(ke)采用(yong)木(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)板(ban)(ban)(ban)、企口(kou)條(tiao)(tiao)(tiao)板(ban)(ban)(ban)、膠合板(ban)(ban)(ban)等(deng)裝飾(shi)(shi)而成，設(she)計施(shi)工(gong)時(shi)可(ke)采取嵌條(tiao)(tiao)(tiao)、拼縫、嵌裝等(deng)手(shou)法進(jin)行(xing)構(gou)圖，以(yi)達到裝飾(shi)(shi)墻壁的(de)目(mu)的(de)；木(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)裝飾(shi)(shi)線(xian)條(tiao)(tiao)(tiao)簡稱木(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)線(xian)條(tiao)(tiao)(tiao)。木(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)線(xian)條(tiao)(tiao)(tiao)種類繁多，主要有(you)樓梯扶(fu)手(shou)、壓邊線(xian)、墻腰線(xian)、天花(hua)(hua)角線(xian)、彎線(xian)、掛鏡(jing)線(xian)等(deng)。各類木(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)線(xian)條(tiao)(tiao)(tiao)立(li)體造(zao)型各異，每類木(mu)(mu)(mu)(mu)線(xian)條(tiao)(tiao)(tiao)又(you)有(you)多種斷(duan)面形狀，例如(ru)有(you)平(ping)行(xing)線(xian)條(tiao)(tiao)(tiao)、半圓(yuan)線(xian)條(tiao)(tiao)(tiao)、麻花(hua)(hua)線(xian)條(tiao)(tiao)(tiao)、鳩尾形線(xian)條(tiao)(tiao)(tiao)、半圓(yuan)飾(shi)(shi)、齒(chi)型飾(shi)(shi)、浮飾(shi)(shi)、孤飾(shi)(shi)、S型飾(shi)(shi)、貼附(fu)飾(shi)(shi)、鉗齒(chi)飾(shi)(shi)、十(shi)字花(hua)(hua)飾(shi)(shi)、梅花(hua)(hua)飾(shi)(shi)、葉型飾(shi)(shi)以(yi)及雕飾(shi)(shi)等(deng)多樣(yang)。 

建筑室內采用(yong)木條線(xian)(xian)裝(zhuang)飾(shi)(shi)，可增添古樸、高(gao)雅、親切(qie)的(de)(de)美(mei)感。木線(xian)(xian)條主要用(yong)作(zuo)建筑物室內的(de)(de)墻(qiang)腰裝(zhuang)飾(shi)(shi)、墻(qiang)面洞(dong)口裝(zhuang)飾(shi)(shi)線(xian)(xian)、護壁板(ban)和勒腳(jiao)的(de)(de)壓條飾(shi)(shi)線(xian)(xian)、門框裝(zhuang)飾(shi)(shi)線(xian)(xian)、頂(ding)棚裝(zhuang)飾(shi)(shi)角線(xian)(xian)、樓梯欄(lan)桿的(de)(de)扶手、墻(qiang)壁掛(gua)畫條、鏡框線(xian)(xian)以及高(gao)線(xian)(xian)建筑的(de)(de)門窗和家(jia)具等(deng)的(de)(de)鑲邊、貼附組花材料。

木花格即為用木板和枋(fang)木(mu)(mu)制(zhi)作(zuo)成具有若(ruo)干(gan)個分(fen)格的(de)木(mu)(mu)架，這些分(fen)格的(de)尺寸或形狀一般(ban)都各不相同。木(mu)(mu)花格具有加工制(zhi)作(zuo)較簡便、飾件輕巧纖細、表面紋理清晰等(deng)特點。木(mu)(mu)花格多用(yong)作(zuo)建筑物室(shi)內(nei)的(de)花窗、隔斷、博古架等(deng)，它(ta)能起到調節室(shi)內(nei)設計格調、改進空間效(xiao)能和提高室(shi)內(nei)藝(yi)術(shu)質量等(deng)作(zuo)用(yong)。  

此外，建(jian)筑室內還有一些小部(bu)位的(de)(de)裝(zhuang)飾(shi)，也是采用木材制作的(de)(de)，如窗臺板、窗簾盒、踢(ti)腳板等，它們和室內地板、墻壁互相聯系，相互襯托，使得整個空間的(de)(de)格調、材質、色彩和諧、協調，從而收(shou)到良好的(de)(de)整體裝(zhuang)飾(shi)效果。
