How to Use Wood in Your Home Décor in Various Shades

The day when individuals would furnish their houses with coordinating hardwood accessories and furniture has long since passed. The reality is that a room might seem flat and uninteresting if it is filled with a single colour and texture of wood, despite the fact that this décor style was formerly thought to be highly current. However, mixing different wood tones will help each piece stand out and make a statement, making your room appear cosier and more inviting.

 But how can you accomplish it without making your place appear cluttered and disorganised?

To increase the aesthetic attractiveness of your room, you can blend several tonal variations and opposing patterns. However, if you are unsure of where to begin, you may find this thorough instruction on how to mix and match wood furniture to be helpful.

SUGGESTIONS FOR MIXING DISTINCT SHADES OF WOOD

Your décor can seem more diverse while also adding depth if you mix dark and light wood furniture in different patterns and textures. While polished materials may give your home design a touch of refinement and elegance, neutral wood tones can seem fairly naturalistic.

• Although combining various wood furniture colours necessitates some experimenting, here are a few pointers to get you going.
• Make a contrast between the flooring and the furniture.
• Making a contrast between the flooring and the furniture is the first step to expertly blending various wood tones in a space. Consider decorating your home with light-colored furniture if you have dark hardwood flooring, and vice versa. If you match furniture to a floor that is the same colour, your décor will seem repetitive and any statement items won't stand out.
• However, because changing your flooring or furniture may be quite pricey (and impracticable), you might want to think about staining the wooden surfaces in your house to produce a variety of tones and add originality to each design element—all without breaking the budget.

CENTER YOUR ROOM'S DESIGN ON AN ANCHOR PIECE.

Wood may be used in your home in a variety of ways. However, it is always advised to pick an anchor item and design the rest of your space around it if you want your décor to seem smart and unified. If you're designing your dining room, for instance, choose a wooden dining table that suits the area's size before choosing wooden accents and decorative items to go with it.

 Alternatively, if you're redecorating your living room, you may work around your wooden coffee table by combining two to three different woods with contrasting hues and textures. To achieve a pleasing balance, though, combine painted and wood furniture.

SELECT A DEADLY WOOD SHADE

Choose a dominating tone to make your space cohesive whether you are blending wood colours in the kitchen, bedroom, hallway, or any other area of your home. This will help you stay grounded and prevent your area from seeming like a jumbled mess of timber accents and furniture.

 In general, it looks well to mix wood furniture with white or grey, especially if you want the dramatic and dark items to truly stand out and become the centre of attention in your house. For a quieter and more tranquil atmosphere in your room, use a lighter hue of wood if you prefer minimalist interior design.

SELECT A COLOR FOR CONTINUITY AS AN ACCENT

Even when mixing several wood tones in the same room, you still need an additional accent colour to bring everything together in a cohesive, aesthetically pleasing whole.

 There are many methods to add colour to your room without using a paintbrush, including adding a couch in a vivid shade or swapping out your neutral or solid-colored drapes for something a bit more lively and textured.

 In a similar vein, table runners, huge wall art, little potted plants, throw cushions, lampshades, and framed mirrors may all help to create a pleasing flow. Just make sure your selected colour is included in these accents for a harmonious appearance.

MERGE WARM AND COOL WOOD TONES

Last but not least, while designing your room, don't be scared to mix warm and cold wood tones. For instance, pairing a dark, warm hardwood floor with light, wooden furniture will make the contrast even more dramatic. Additionally, you may mix warm and cold accent colours to produce an energising colour scheme.

 Finally, it's not as difficult as you may believe to combine several wood tones in one space. Simply select an anchor item and a dominant colour for your room, and the rest will come together without any trouble. Even if you are new to the field of interior design, after playing with various wood tones, you will definitely get the hang of it all.
