Wood has many names. Many of the best-known types have a warm, bright hue. However, the wood that has dominated our interiors in recent times looks entirely different. It’s a wood with a dark, distinctive tone. How to furnish a fashionable and elegant interior with such a colour of this raw material?
Actually, it’s not that difficult at all! Dark wood nearly always looks elegant and dignified, but at the same time modern and fresh. Very dark ebony, reddish-brown mahogany, grey-brown walnut and black-brown wenge are our favourite shades. This is hardly surprising, as they combine perfectly with other, lighter surfaces. Dark wood will go perfectly with light, cream-coloured walls and floors, and will also make a stunning combination with marble or other light-coloured stone.
In what form can we incorporate dark wood into our interiors? Furniture offers many possibilities – tables, benches, chests of drawers and bookcases in this shade will look beautiful against lighter surfaces, such as walls. Dark wood can also be used on floors and walls with great success. Woodgrain tiles will prove helpful here. In spite of appearances, there are lots of types of dark wood available that have been perfectly reproduced on tiles. Such floors and walls will bring even more chic and class to the rooms and, when combined with modern furniture and accessories, will create an exciting, on-trend room.
Make the most of nature’s gifts and choose dark wood as the base of your interior.
