Colours that go with dark wood furniture.

Similarly to the green color on the wall the color blue can also make pairing the furniture and finishes fun picking contrasting or complimentary colors to the fabrics and finishes in the space can add the last needed thing to a room. As shown in the design example above this color idea works better when the brown furniture is also in a darker shade. Here the neutral graywash stain of the wall adds just enough contrast while letting the dramatic dark painted wood pieces and accessories in the room really anchor the space. Beige tan and ivory work great with light and dark shades of wood.

While dark furniture with a dark ceiling was a bold design risk the beige walls patterned carpeting and splashes of bright white of the cowhide throw and pillows allow your eye to be drawn in and around the room to appreciate the design details and allow for luxurious relaxation. This room is richly decorated and features a variety of earth tones patterns and textures. In this living room by l a based designer amber lewis for instance the light gray washed floors are complemented with a dark walnut coffee table and chairs that feature three different wood tones. Stains and finishes can range from light blonde to rich mahogany and these neutral hues play an important role in a room s overall color scheme.

Another color that goes nicely with brown furniture is a darker red. Notice the wood floors are a contrasting color to the trim. With the dark wood it is important to not select anything too dark or the room can seem small and uninviting. In rooms with a surfeit of dark wood it can help to lighten and brighten interiors.

Nothing says you have to go crazy mixing wood tones especially if you re feeling a bit out of your element. Wood tones appear on many elements around our homes including furniture flooring cabinetry and trim. Pure whites create dramatic contrasts with dark wood while duller flatter shades allow wood to glow. It may seem counterintuitive but when mixing wood tones contrast is your friend.

Although so it does not mean that darker red shade looks terrible on a lighter shade of brown. The contrast is nice with the trim while the darker colors are highlighted again in the rug.
