When it comes to interior design, everyone is free to let their creativity speak for itself; there are no set rules. Nevertheless, making contrasts to avoid tone on tone is an option that works wonderfully.

Between wall and furniture

Contrasting the colour of walls and furniture is something that brings modernism to your interior. So, for a light wall, opt for dark furniture and vice versa. In fact, if you choose to create dark furniture, placed in front of light walls, they will only be brighter. And if you have dark walls, a light piece of furniture will brighten up your interior. All the elements in the room will be highlighted and you'll achieve a confident aesthetic.

The furniture itself: pairing wood with colours

Each type of wood is unique, so they work differently with colours. Here are our recommendations!‍

‍

Oak

Oak is an exceptional wood when it comes to decorating as it goes together so easily! In dark tones, you can opt for an oak and black combination, in a bright room, your furniture will bring harmony and elegance. If you prefer a lighter shade, opt for yellow or white, and the oak will stand out even more. With an oak design, for example, and only the doors in yellow or white, you'll get a very aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture, as these colours work naturally together.

‍Beech

Beech, like oak, can easily be combined with a number of shades. If you want to give your interior a Scandinavian feel, this is the type of wood for you. Scandinavians are renowned for their modern, industrial and design-oriented furnishings. Beech, which also comes from the North, is therefore widely used by these decorators. Combined with grey or white, the contrast is perfect.

‍

Wengé

This wood, which comes from the South, is much appreciated for its natural contrast. Its two-tone structure, with light veins, combines perfectly with white. You shouldn't accumulate colours; wenge easily accepts one colour, but two is already too many. What's more, it blends perfectly into sober, pure rooms with very little colour, to which it adds modernism.
