From the bedroom to the living room, wooden furniture is a staple part of your décor but the question is, what kind of wood should you be looking for? Different styles and colors suit different interiors, so Design Within Reach Coupon have made some suggestions for complementary woods for different color schemes.
Bright Colors
Because brightly colored furniture tends to be the centerpiece, it can be tempting to choose light and whitewashed woods that will not distract attention. However, darker tones can really make bright colors pop.
Design Within Reach Coupon recommend trying American walnut wood. It’s equally rich in a completely different way, and the resulting contrast is sure to catch your guests attention.
Dark Colors
This is another scenario where dark woods are a great option. When you have deep tones already in your color scheme, dark woods by Design Within Reach Coupon can continue a warm and sophisticated ambiance.
However, if you’re trying to make a room look bigger or more airy, it is a good idea to break up dark tones with slightly brighter woods. Neutral oak is a great way to balance warmth with light – and it is a wood that never goes out of fashion.
Neutral Colors
If you are into minimal styling and neutral colors, chances are you are looking for woods that are timeless rather than trendy. Solid oak in its natural color is elegant and fuss-free, and represents the kind of quality that will last as long as your color palette, thanks to Design Within Reach Coupon.
Depending on whether you’re looking for sleek or cozy, you can choose a glossed finish or go for the rustic round the edges effect. Coffee tables like this Magnus design are a good example of the former, with a subtle shine complementing the smooth, rounded silhouette.
Mix `n` Match
Perhaps your color scheme does not fit into any of the above – or perhaps it is a combination of all of them. In this case, you can really take your pick of woods.
It is up to you whether you want the furniture to take a backseat – in which case you could choose whitewashed designs and simple, square silhouettes, or if you want it to pull the room together. If it is the latter, pick a color you like and choose several coordinating pieces, such as a bookshelf and a television unit.
