Using Wood When Styling Your Home

Wood is one of the most versatile materials you have in your arsenal of interior design techniques. By using the shades and tonal value of your woods, you can create a specific feel throughout your home by pairing it with the right colour for your desired effect.
The most common way to blend wood with different colours is to keep the change of palette to a minimum. If you’re not looking to draw any attention to certain areas, use slight tonal differences to create a calm and subtle feel to your home.

If you’re looking to be a bit more bold with your interiors, use contrasting colours to create a focal point for the eye. Woods such as honeytoned pine tend to show up well when paired with medium greens as they bring out the warm yellows of the wood while still maintaining a cool contrast.

If you’re really looking to grab some attention, use wood of a lighter tone and pair it with two fabric colours, one bright and one with a slightly moodier tone. The searing contrast will capture the eye’s focus instantly and really bring out that certain couch or table you’re looking to show off.

If you’re using a slightly brighter wood, but still trying to maintain a subtle approach, you can take the focus off the wood by pairing it with colours such as pale orange or terracotta. This simple technique is great for those who want a warmer feel to their home without the brightness being too overwhelming.
If you’re looking to highlight a specific piece of wooden furniture, surround it with two to three pieces of contrasting colour. This is a fantastic way to draw attention to individual pieces of wooden furniture of any shade or tone.

Throughout your home, it’s a good idea to create a sense of continuity by using one colour accent and variating its tone throughout, and by using your woods effectively you can mold and manipulate your interiors to create that perfect look for your living spaces. So, whether you’re looking to grab attention or keep it cool, wood is the perfect tool for creating the ideal atmosphere.
