The era of wooden furniture has become a past tense. When all the wood surfaces in a space have the same color tone, nothing special, the room will become ordinary. Allowing different wood finishes to coexist, produces a more compromised, layered look, provides the appropriate texture and depth, and the overall feel is more organized, just as the furniture in each part is collected over time . There are no magic formulas when it comes to mixing wooden furniture, but there are some simple ways to help you find the entry point.

1. Contrast furniture and flooring

Furniture may lose its own character in the context of wood floors with similar tones. Combine light-colored furniture with dark floors to break monotony and vice versa.

2. Create visual focus

An easy way to create influence is to use a larger piece of wooden furniture, such as a coffee table or sideboard, as your starting point and add two or three contrasting wooden tones around. You can try to replace some wooden accessories and see what is more attractive to you.

3. Create a harmonious balance

To prevent your room from appearing unbalanced, it is recommended to balance different wooden decorations in the space. In the lower pattern, dark wood elements support the room, creating a greater contrast with the white elements, creating a ventilated, bright effect.

4. Choose a dominant wood tone

No one said that you have to mix a lot of wood tones, especially when you feel a bit out of style. In the lower pattern, the neutral gray wood veneer on the wall adds enough contrast, while the dramatic dark wood furniture and accessories in the room really highlight the space.

5. Create continuity with accent colors

If you are concerned that the mismatched wood grain has lost control, it is recommended to combine different finishes and styles with a prominent color. In the lower pattern, warm pillows, shades and stools create a harmonious color flow.

6. Soften mixed elements with carpet

When a space has many “legs” of furniture in different wood tones, use a common base area carpet to “treat” them. Carpets also help create a comfortable transition between furniture and wood floors.
