Coordinating Wall Colour With Wood Furniture

Your walls and furniture are the two main decor elements, no matter the room. So, it’s needless to say that above anything else, your wall colours and wood furniture should complement each other.

But how do you choose the perfect wall colours for wood furniture when there are so many different wood types and finishes? Should you refinish everything to match, or is there a way to make it all look like it belongs? Does it even matter?

If you think all types of wood can just blend with any colour, and it doesn’t matter, think again. If they don’t complement or offset one another, it throws off the whole room, and it all looks tacky. There. We said it.

Coordinating your wall colour with your wood furniture doesn’t have to be hard. But it does take some thought. Keep reading our guide to learn how to find the perfect wall colour for your wood furniture.

What To Think About When Coordinating Wall Colour And Wood Furniture

The first step to coordinating wall colours and wood furniture is finding out the look you’re going for. Are you looking for something modern, like a high-contrast pairing? Or do you want a more transitional look with complementary tones?

Contrast:

Ask yourself whether you’re looking for a high or low contrast. In other words, do you want to make a big statement or have everything blend together?

Here’s an example. If you have mahogany furniture, you can get a high-contrast look with a bright white. Or, you can pair it with a lighter brown for a lower-contrast look.

Wood Undertones:

Work with the undertones of your wood furniture’s finish to create the perfect colour palette. Remember what type of contrast you’re looking for, and use your wood furniture’s undertones to find the right colour to make it pop.

For example, if you want a high-contrast look for your warmer wood furniture, you can choose a navy or powder blue colour to offset it.
